The Current Asset Allocation of The United States

Allocated to bonds of all types, through 2Q2014:   $38.17 trillion.
Allocated to stocks (current Wilshire 5000 X 1.2): $25.46 trillion.
Allocated to cash (MZM):                                               $12.72 trillion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total:                                                                        $76.35 trillion.

That's 50% to bonds, 33% to stocks, and 17% to cash.

The trend since 2010 has been away from bonds at close to 59% to 50% now, mainly into stocks, while amounts allocated to cash have increased the percentage just a few points.
