If you're talking the way you are you're either 1. Under 30 or

2. Not including your primary residence as part of your asset allocation.

If you have a house, work out the equity in it add your superannuation add your shares and your cash together. The % of that allocation that is alexium is the % to which you're invested.

I'm approximately 60% Of everything in AJX, so as you can see your post is actually quite silly in being addressed to me.

Why am I in AJX so hard? Because the RISKvsreward proposition is amazing, best on the ASX. It has much more time to be trading at 10% of its current value than an ETF tracking the ASX 100. But it probably has as much chance to go up 1000% as the asx100 has to go up 100%.

As a 30 year old with a stable career and no mortgage, I can absorb the risk of 60% of my worth becoming 6% (as the majority of money I will earn is in the future, not the past). I take that risk because the odds are heavily inflated in my favour so I'm much more likely to have that 60% become 300-600%.

If I'm 70, I'm not putting in more than 5-10% of my net worth into alexium. I would have money in an Asx ETF US ETF euro ETF REIT, investment property etc. etc... Mitigated risk with a much steadier return because I wouldn't be able to absorb severe losses at 70.

I'm 40 still very young even younger at heart haha....where's I don't count the house I live in or investment properts.
I have always treated property and shares separate.
Then if that was the case how about a wine collection or art I don't even count them at all see it more as a hobby or an appreciation, just part of living to enjoy life.
