Executive Summary.
Investment Philosophy.
çÂÂçÂÂçÂÂçÂÂMy investment philosophy is based on the top down approach. I have a growth strategy and a semi-efficient view of the market.
çÂÂçÂÂçÂÂçÂÂI have invested 100% of my portfolio in equities for several reasons: higher profitability of equities comparing to other types of assets, high equity yields and competitive advantage.
Original Portfolio.
çÂÂçÂÂçÂÂçÂÂI have concentrated on two markets in my analysis: UK and Russia.
çÂÂçÂÂçÂÂçÂÂEconomic analysis of these countries showed that there are lucrative and in many ways unique investment opportunities in both of these markets.
çÂÂçÂÂçÂÂçÂÂThe following passages of my work I spend on the analysis of the specific industry sectors and companies which I have chosen to invest in.
Rebalancing.
çÂÂçÂÂçÂÂçÂÂThat part of the work was based around detailed explanations of the reasons for exchange of my assets. The market situation underpinning these decisions.
