Investment Project

Student Name

BAF 101 – Spring 2018

Goal & Strategy

Objective: Fund Retirement and Travel

Time Perspective: Long-Term Goal

Risk Tolerance: Moderately Aggressive

My investments are all moderately safe with a few risky investments. These investments will keep me safe and avoid any major money loss resulting in little risk.

Goal & Strategy

My overall investment goal in a intermediate timeframe would be to create a emergency fund. I’m more confident towards taking up risk, since my risk tolerance is moderately aggressive. In fact, rather than just choosing large stocks, I've invested into several small-cap and mid-cap stocks which are seen to be risker. Being a moderate investor, my investments allow me to accept some risk to stay balanced. I want to be consistent with my goals also be able to spend within my budget.

In managing risk, it is key to have diversification, it helps to reduce volatility and loss exposure while increasing the potential for overall return. Having variety of options minimizes the risk of one asset hurting your portfolio—as in my case I invested all across industries, cap sizes, exchange-traded funds. The return I expect from the stocks would be somewhat growth and income. My ranges in caps, industries and ETF's will offer combination of other asset classes and immediate diversification eventually fitting to my overall investment strategy. I intend to build on my potential account value that’ll be giving something to look forward to for the next 3-5 years. DJ and S&P 500 Index will be used to measure my performance of stock selections.

Summary

Starting the project I thought that I was going to know exactly what to do and just be a brilliant with my money. As it turns out I am not that good with stocks. At the beginning and through to a little over a month later I was consistently in the negative or losing more than gaining. My goal for my investments is to use the money to pay for college and to have a little extra for when I am finished with college. The companies that I invested in were mostly speculative hot stocks. I did have a few stocks that I bought and then sold because of how bad they started to plummet. I ended up learning a whole lot from the mishaps and a comeback.

Summary

Return Excepted- 30.20%

Appreciation Growth- 9.10-%

Income- $144,518.80

Growth- $25.2%

Achieve goal- Yes

Benchmarks- Every 2 years.

I have a lot of diverse stocks that were bought to help me long term. My diversification insures that if one fails my portfolio won’t and I’ll have time for it to recover and make up the difference.
