    Hi all. I’m interested in how everyone spreads their risk in terms off percentages of asset classes.

    My numbers are:

    Cash: 3%
    Property: 83%
    Shares (all LICs): 1%
    Super: 10%
    Other: 3%

    Apologies if there is another similar thread

    Taking into account leverage, my numbers are probably around:

    Property: 350%
    Super: 15%
    Everything else put together: <5%

    Australian real estate: approx 75%
    Overseas real estate: approx 20%
    Shares: 5%

    I prefer to focus on the investment vehicle I understand and spread risk within that, than to spread risk across investment classes just to give myself the illusion that I've really spread risk.
