Buyer's guide

How to choose a asset allocation planner calculator

When picking an asset allocation tool, first decide whether you need to analyze your current portfolio's existing exposures or to plan a new allocation from scratch. If you already have holdings and want to see style, region, and sector concentrations, choose a tool that accepts your current investments as input. If you are starting from zero and need a recommended mix based on age and risk tolerance, a profile-based calculator will give you a quicker starting point. The key differences worth caring about are data privacy (some tools store your portfolio data), the depth of exposure analysis (style/region/sector vs. broad asset classes), and whether the tool focuses on planning new allocations or rebalancing existing ones.
