PREPaRAtion task

Step 1 - Investor Profile

Preparation Task

I created a profile for a hypothetical client, a 45-year-old professional who wants to build a diversified investment portfolio. The client is a moderate risk-taker, aims for long-term capital appreciation, and has an investment horizon of 15 years. The client has a sizable initial investment amount and plans to invest a fixed amount every year.

Step 2 - Investment Options

Research Task

I conducted research on potential investment avenues, including:

  • Equity Market: Given the long-term investment horizon, investing in the equity market could be beneficial as it tends to offer high returns in the long run.
  • Bonds: Bonds can provide a stable income stream and add security to the portfolio, offsetting potential losses from other higher-risk investments.
  • Mutual funds: A combination of equity and debt funds can provide balance, diversification, and risk management.
  • Real estate: Not more than 15% of the portfolio should be allocated towards real estate as it is illiquid and requires high initial investment.

Analysis Task

Step 3 - Asset Allocation

Analysis Task

Based on the client's moderate risk tolerance and desire for long-term capital appreciation, I divided the investment as follows -

  • 40% in equities
  • 30% in bonds
  • 20% in mutual funds
  • 10% in real estate.

Step 4 - Investment Advisory Document

Create Task

I created an investment advisory, which included the client's profile, explanation of the chosen investments, and the potential returns. I also noted that, because of the client's investment horizon and risk preference, this portfolio optimises return potential while providing stability and risk distribution.

Step 5 - The Investment Plan

Document and Present

I compiled the research and recommendations into a comprehensive yet succinct presentation to present to the hypothetical client. I made sure the presentation was easily understandable, visually engaging, and effective in communicating the investment strategy.

REFLECTION

Step 6 - Reflection

Reflection Task

Reflecting on the process, I was able to practise making strategic decisions based on the client's risk tolerance, investment horizon, and financial goals. The activity gave me hands-on experience about how to give comprehensive investment advisory and how to adapt the plan according to the client's needs.

Expected outcome

The completion of this activity gave me an in-depth understanding of the factors that affect investment recommendations. It allowed me to create a customised investment plan, enhancing my skills in asset allocation, investment analysis, and portfolio management. This practical approach could be beneficial in a career as an Investment Advisor.
