5. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-5 Portfolio Objectives and Policies Current Income/Capital Preservation Objective –Low-risk, conservative investment strategy –Emphasis on current income and capital preservation –Normally contains low-beta securities Capital Growth Objective –Higher-risk investment strategy –Emphasis on more speculative investments –Normally contains higher-beta securities Tax Efficient Objective –Emphasis on capital gains and longer holding periods to defer income taxes

6. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-6 Constructing a Portfolio Using Asset Allocation Asset Allocation is the process of dividing an investment portfolio into various asset classes to preserve capital by protecting against negative developments while taking advantage of positive ones. In other words, don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, and choose your baskets carefully.

7. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-7 Constructing a Portfolio Using Asset Allocation An asset allocation scheme must be developed before buying any investment vehicles. Focus is on investment in various asset classes, rather than emphasis on selecting specific securities. As much as 90% or more of a portfolio’s return comes from asset allocation between various asset classes.

All rights reserved. 13-8 Approaches to Asset Allocation Fixed-Weightings Approach: asset allocation plan in which a fixed percentage of the portfolio is allocated to each asset category Flexible-Weightings Approach: asset allocation plan in which weights for each asset category are adjusted periodically based on market analysis Tactical Approach: asset allocation plan that uses stock- index futures and bond futures to change a portfolio’s asset allocation based on market behavior

All rights reserved. 13-10 Applying Asset Allocation Consider impact of economic and other factors on your investment objective Design your asset allocation plan for the long haul (at least 7 to 10 years) Stress capital preservation Provide for periodic reviews to maintain consistency with changing investments goals Consider using mutual funds, especially for portfolios under $100,000

All rights reserved. 13-11 Evaluating Performance of Individual Investments Step 1: Obtain Needed Data –Returns on owned investments –Economic and market activity Step 2: Compare Returns with Broad-Based Market Measures –DJIA, S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite Index, Lipper indexes Step 3: Compare Performance to Investment Goals –“Am I getting the proper return for the amount of investment risk I am taking?” –“Do I have a problem investment?” Step 4: Determine appropriate action on each investment –Keep, sell, or monitor closely

13. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-13 Measuring Portfolio Return: Holding Period Return Returns include current income and capital gains/losses for all investments held in portfolio

14. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-14 Measuring Portfolio Return: Sharpe’s Measure Compares the risk premium on a portfolio to the portfolio’s standard deviation of return In general, the higher the Sharpe’s measure, the better

15. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-15 Measuring Portfolio Return: Treynor’s Measure Uses the portfolio beta to measure the portfolio’s risk In general, the higher the Treynor’s measure, the better

16. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-16 Measuring Portfolio Return: Jensen’s Measure Uses the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to calculate the portfolio’s excess return (actual return compared to required return) Positive returns are preferred; negative returns indicate required return was not earned

17. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-17 Assessing Portfolio Performance Portfolio Revision: the process of selling certain issues in a portfolio and purchasing new ones to replace them Periodic reallocation and rebalancing are necessary Reasons to revise portfolio: –Changes in economic conditions –Major life event –Proportion of one asset class increases or decreases substantially –Expect to reach specific goal within two years –Percentage allocation of asset class varies from original allocation by 10% or more.

18. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-18 Timing Transactions Dollar-Cost Averaging –Fixed dollar amount is invested at fixed intervals –Discipline to invest on regular basis is vital –Purchase more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high

19. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-19 Timing Transactions (cont’d) Constant-Dollar Plan –Speculative portion seeks capital gains –Conservative portion seeks low risk –When speculative portion increases to a predetermined dollar amount, profits are transferred to conservative portion –If speculative portion decreases, funds are added from conservative portion

20. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-20 Timing Transactions (cont’d) Constant-Ratio Plan –Similar to constant-dollar plan, only the ratio between the speculative and conservative portions is fixed Variable-Ratio Plan –Similar to constant-ratio plan, only the ratio between the speculative and conservative portions is allowed to fluctuate to predetermined levels –Moderately aggressive strategy which tries to “buy low and sell high”

21. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-21 Using Limit and Stop-Loss Orders Limit Orders –May be used to purchase additional securities only at desired purchase price or below Stop-Loss Orders –Used to limit downside loss or protect a profit by selling security when price falls below predetermined price

22. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 13-22 Other Portfolio Considerations Warehousing Liquidity –Keep portion of portfolio in low-risk, highly liquid investments to protect against loss or to wait for future investment opportunities Tax Consequences –Use long-term capital gains when possible –Use capital losses to offset capital gains Achieving Investment Goals –When an investment becomes more or less risky, or it does not meet its return objective, sell it –Don’t hold out for top price; take your profits and reinvest in more suitable investment
