UBS Financial Services' asset allocations are based on a proprietary methodology. In developing those allocations, the firm considers asset class risk and return results that are based on estimated forward-looking return and risk assumptions, as measured by standard deviation, which are based on UBS proprietary research. The development process includes a review of a variety of factors, including the return, risk, correlations and historical performance of various asset classes, inflation and risk premium.
