Ditch the jargon, in other words. "Solution," a word overworked throughout the business world, is a dud in finance – not only stale but lacking credibility. At best, an investment strategy cannot be more than a "possible solution."

I don't know that "asset allocation" is necessarily a poor choice of words vs. "diversification."
I think the advisor would likely need to use both phrases (and many others) to emphasize the importance of the risk/return, as the concept may be new or unfamiliar to many clients.
The link to the survey didn't work, at least for me.
