History

The 70/30 portfolio evolved as a simple extension of the traditional 60/40 model used throughout the 20th century by institutional investors. As equity returns dominated long-term performance, many investors increased equity exposure while retaining bonds as a stabilizer.

Philosophy

Increase expected returns by raising equity exposure while maintaining a meaningful bond allocation for risk control.
