The paper looks at the structure of a balanced portfolio and its main instruments, i.e. equities and bonds, arguing whether balanced portfolios can be self-sufficient with only equities and bonds in them. Other instruments used to achieve better returns or to stabilise returns are described, addressing the problems of risk management by using derivatives in the portfolio, and showing the benefits of these instruments. Factors affecting returns in a portfolio, such as commodities, are outlined.
