KEY LEARNINGS OF GROUP
We have learned that past performance does not guarantee the same performance of stocks in future results as the results or performances are bound to change in accordance with the market conditions and the company decisions for its future. Different strategies for selecting stocks and to make our portfolio more efficient in terms of gaining more profit. While doing the investment one should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses factors carefully. The return of investment and the principle value of an investment will fluctuate during the time of trading it may go high or it may end up in losses, also there are possibilities that the investor’s account may be worth less than the original investment when liquidated or will gain more profit than the original investment. One of the important learning is that, it is very important to stay updated with market news and developments, since every news has its impacts on market and therefore to our portfolio. The concept of rebalancing and implementation in our portfolio on fortnight bases helped us in tracking our portfolio and identify new opportunities in the market. More research on the risk profile to identify how best we can build our portfolio should have been done/taken into consideration. We also learned that it is always safe to diversify our portfolio as this will help to spread our risk proportion in different stocks in different sector as different sectors react differently to the market conditions. We also learned that it is not always possible that blue chip companies will perform good and will give high returns, as investment in blue chip companies is less or low risky it will give returns low, compared to mid or small cap companies as investing in this types of companies are more riskier compare to large cap companies and therefore this type of companies generate higher returns. Before investing into any stock strong research is needed to make right decisions. Active tracking of portfolio is necessary as to know where the portfolio stands and are the selected stock performing well or not. Thus, a portfolio assessment provides an opportunity for us to reflect on their learning, to self-assess, and to formulate a deeper understanding of the concepts they are learning beyond a simple surface explanation. To read and monitor the financial newspapers as well as internet updates on the NSE and the global financial market. FINSIGHT
