Abstract

Based on modern portfolio theory, this paper constructs an asset allocation analysis framework applicable to the Chinese market. Using quantitative analysis methods, it compares the risk-return characteristics of different asset classes and introduces the Sharpe ratio for risk-adjusted performance evaluation. The research results indicate that in the current market environment, a diversified investment portfolio can effectively balance risk and return, providing investors with superior risk-adjusted returns. This study offers a systematic asset allocation decision-making method for individual investors.
