A slightly aggressive asset allocation sets out to avoid risk like the risk that you will not reach your financial goals by assuming slightly above average market risk, that is putting an above average amount of money into the stock market.

For example, if you like this type of allocation you may be a person who is less comfortable with the risk that you will not reach your financial goals and with purchasing power risk , but you may not be opposed to assuming some additional market risk by putting money into investments like stocks. With a slightly aggressive asset allocation you put a little more of your savings into the stock market, for example, than would be sufficient to contain other risks.
