Fund Asset Classes

After funds are created they can be organized into asset classes. This must be completed in order to use the funds later in allocation models. Allocation models give policy owners a way to invest their money in different categories of assets, typically cash equivalents, bonds and stocks, which then diversifies their portfolio.

In order to organize funds into fund asset classes, fund asset class groups must first be created and then associated to funds. Once that step is complete, allocation models can be configured.
