strategic investment approach across five companies listed on Bursa Malaysia. The
portfolio, with an initial investment of RM499,020, grew to RM525,360, showcasing
effective diversification across aviation, consumer goods, healthcare, property, and
construction sectors. The investment strategy proved successful with four out of five

portfolio's resilience was evident in its ability to maintain overall positive performance
despite challenges in the property sector, where Sime Darby Property recorded a -7%
return. The success of the strategy was further validated through effective risk mitigation
achieved by sector diversification, focus on companies with strong fundamentals, and
balanced allocation to prevent overconcentration in any single stock. This comprehensive
approach to portfolio management demonstrated that a well-planned investment strategy
combining stable core holdings with growth opportunities can achieve positive returns
