Group 2: Performance Metrics - The article presents a backtest of different stock-bond ratios, showing that higher stock allocations lead to higher annualized returns but also increase volatility and maximum drawdown [30]. - For example, a 90:10 stock-bond ratio had a maximum drawdown of -42.49% with an annualized return of 9.7%, while a 10:90 ratio had a maximum drawdown of -4.81% with a return of 5.2% [30]. Group 3: Importance of Rebalancing - The article emphasizes that asset allocation and rebalancing are crucial for optimizing investment returns, with rebalancing being referred to as a "free lunch" in investment [41][44].
