Asset Class
|
An investment grouping or type of instrument with a positive expected return which is not conditional on the return of another grouping or type of instrument. More precisely, an investment grouping with risk and return characteristics that cannot be dynamically replicated in a continuous market with positions in another asset class and the risk-free asset. There has been a tendency in recent years to divide the world of investments into more asset classes than are warranted or useful.
