ignore lower than expected performance?
To floor something can mean to discard or ignore it. The other bits of advice all seem to be along the lines of "Don't worry too much if you don't seem to be reaching your targets at the outset," and that would be in the same vein.

English term (edited):
floor underboard yields
minimize investment in underperforming shares
First, I guess it should "underboard" instead of "under board". Underboard means below standard or actual level. E.g. if 20% of stocks is of tech companies, then when you only invest 10% of your money to tech stocks, you are said to go underboard.
"underboard yields" should refer to underperforming shares; shares that yield below average.
The key is then the verb "to floor". One definition of the verb is "to knock down to the ground", but in this context, I'd rather take it a little bit flexible to be "to minimize".
It will be in line with Advice no. 2, that is, because inflation will be flat, we cannot expect growth of the shares that are already underboard.

Ken Cox
: an interesting idea, but why does 'underboard yields' give zero google hits?

It could be the first time underboard used in this way; and not yet an in in internet. Perhaps as an interlude for its very much hyped archrival "underperforming".

On the other hand - this slide looks a bit strange: item 5 starts with ":", also some layout errors. I don't know :-(.
The rest of the document is perfect (as far as financial speak can be called perfect) - no typos, no punctuation errors. Well, I guess I'll make a translator's note.
