| It has to do with asset allocation -- the ratio of stocks to bonds. A portfolio with 20%/80% stocks/bonds is "conservative". A portfolio with 80%/20% stocks/bonds is more "aggressive". Stocks are riskier than bonds. A higher percentage of bonds in your portfolio makes it more stable and less likely to lose value. This is a simplified explanation. There's plenty of info on the web about this subject, I suggest you do some homework before investing your savings.
