10. Oklahoma State Regents 10 Primary Issues in Investment Management Asset allocation is the key to successful investment management. Investments should grow to offset inflation. Over long periods of time equities typically produce higher incremental returns than cash or bonds. Diversification among asset classes and managers is a key to increase return and reduce volatility. Access quality portfolio managers and monitor them on a regular basis for compliance with guidelines and performance measurement. Conduct periodic asset allocation review. Minimize costs.
