The Math Part• Example:

– Client has $1,000,000 portfolio invested 60/40 (stocks/bonds)

– Client also has a $200,000 mortgage– The client is actually $600,000 in

equities and $400,000 long in bonds and $200,000 short in bonds.

– The actual NET allocation is $600,000 stocks and $200,000 bonds or 75/25!
