Strategic Asset Allocation

What Does Strategic Asset Allocation Mean?
A portfolio strategy that involves periodically rebalancing the portfolio in order to maintain a long-term goal for asset allocation.

Investopedia explains Strategic Asset Allocation
At the inception of the portfolio, a "base policy mix" is established based on expected returns. Because the value of assets can change given market conditions, the portfolio constantly needs to be re-adjusted to meet the policy.
