把款项的份额(分配到最...)


Explanation:
allocation eg the allocation of resources/funds/time (Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)

allocate = to keep or give something for a particular purpose 分配;分给(某事物) eg That space has already been allocated for building a new hospital. 那块空地已拨出来兴建新医院了. the amount of money allocated to the National Health Service 拨作国民保健用的款额

allocation = 1 the allocating of things for a particular purpose 分配;分给 2 a share of something, such as money, that is allocated to a particular person or for a particular purpose (款项的)份额

注意: IMO have to = must (必须) here, not 不得不(= have no option but to)

TRY


Explanation:
我们的读者通常资金有限, (精打细算) 留出一部分钱投资股票, 谁不想取得最大程度的回报呢?

这种译法, 抛开原文的结构, 另起炉灶, 但意思应比直译更准确更清楚.

中国的一般读者很少用 预算紧张, 建议稍加改动.

agree  Philip Tang: A very slick translation I truly appreciate! Cause I was having problem with 'spending' and 'max. return'; cause one look for 'max. value' on 'spending' and 'max return' on 'investment'

尽管have tight budgets, 但这里allocate是指怎样划拨支出to achieve a maximum return. It does not mean that the less spending, the better.
