ASSIGMENT
Please be as specific as possible in covering the topics required as below. You are writing this report to the current (potential future) clients. So, your report should start with “Dear Valued Clients”.
Strategy (Three Pages)
Over last 10 weeks of trading period we have observed 1) a big jump in yields (especially 10-year Treasury) 2) strong sign of inflation 3) hawkish Fed.
1. You must first identify who you are : Are you value trader? growth trader? defensive or offensive? or else? For this, 1) identify the current macro-economics, geopolitical/market events which deem to be relevant to your investment strategy 2) discuss macro factors (i.e., interest rate and inflation) that could affect your choice of style (i.e., value, growth, defensive, offensive, etc. ) 3) articulate what would be potential risk/return of your choice of style. For example growth investors seek companies that offer strong revenue (eventually earnings) growth while value investors seek stocks that appear to carry stable cash-flow generation. You may justify your choice of style using PE or other factors.
2. Describe your choice of specific industries (sectors), which are believed to be consistent with your choice of style. Don’t talk about individual stocks you invested. For example if you claim your style of investment is offensive, you may invest industries such as autos, chemicals, banks, retail and industrials; If you declarer your investment style defensive industries such as health care, utilities, food, and consumer staples are your choice.
