Portfolio management is the act of building and maintaining an appropriate investment mix for a given risk tolerance. The key factors for any portfolio management strategy involve asset allocation, diversification, and rebalancing rules. Active portfolio management seeks to “beat the market” through identifying undervalued assets, often through shortterm trades and market timing. Passive (indexed) portfolio management seeks to replicate the broader market while keeping costs and fees to a minimum.

A What is a portfolio? A portfolio is a basket of assets that can include stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, cash equivalents, as well as their fund counterparts Non-publicly tradable securities like real estate, art, and private investments can also be included in a portfolio B What is portfolio management C What is portfolio’s asset classes Asset allocation, risk tolerance, and the individual's time horizon are all critical factors when assembling and adjusting an investment portfolio TS Nguyễn Duy Linh TS Nguyễn Duy Linh 7/15/2022 B WHAT IS PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT C WHAT IS PORTFOLIO’S ASSET CLASSES Portfolio management is the act of building and maintaining an An asset class is a grouping of investments that exhibit similar appropriate investment mix for a given risk tolerance The key factors for any portfolio management strategy involve asset allocation, diversification, and rebalancing rules characteristics and are subject to the same laws and regulations Equities (stocks), fixed income (bonds), cash and cash equivalents, real estate, commodities, futures, and other financial derivatives are examples of asset classes Active portfolio management seeks to “beat the market” There is usually very little correlation, through identifying undervalued assets, often through short-term trades and market timing Passive (indexed) portfolio management seeks to replicate the broader market while keeping costs and fees to a minimum and in some cases a negative correlation, between different asset classes Financial advisers focus on asset class as a way to help investors diversify their portfolio TS

CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES 16 17 Capital preservation Means that investors want to minimize their risk of loss, usually in real terms: They seek to maintain the purchasing power of their investment The return needs to be no less than the rate of inflation The investor’s objectives are his investment goals, expressed in terms of both risk and returns Investment managers must assess the level of risk that investors can tolerate in pursuit of higher returns (risk–return trade-off) Risk tolerance: A function of an individual’s psychological makeup Also affected by other factors, such as a person’s current insurance coverage, cash reserves, family situation, and age Influenced by one’s current net worth and income expectations Capital appreciation Is an appropriate objective for investors who want the portfolio to grow in real terms over time to meet some future need Under this strategy, growth mainly occurs through capital gains Return objectives May be stated in terms of an absolute or a relative percentage return or a general goal, such as capital preservation, current income, capital appreciation, or total return TS Nguyễn Duy Linh TS Nguyễn Duy Linh 16 17 CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES 18 19 Current income Investors want to generate income rather than capital gains Retirees may favor this objective for part of their portfolio to help generate spendable funds Investment Objective: 25-Year-Old Assume that he holds a steady job, is a valued employee, has adequate insurance coverage, and has enough money in the bank to provide a cash reserve Assume that his current long-term, high-priority investment goal is to build a retirement fund He can select a strategy carrying moderate to high amounts of risk because the income stream from his job will probably grow over time Further, given young age and income growth potential, a total return or capital appreciation objective is appropriate Total return strategy Investors want the portfolio to grow over time to meet a future need Increase portfolio value by both capital gains and reinvesting current income TS Nguyễn Duy Linh 18 TS Nguyễn Duy Linh 19 7/15/2022 CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES 20 21 Investment Objective: 25-Year-Old Here’s a possible objective statement: Invest funds in a variety of moderate- to higher-risk investments The average risk of the equity portfolio should exceed that of a broad stock market index, such as the NYSE stock index Foreign and domestic equity exposure should range from 80 percent to 95 percent of the total portfolio Remaining funds should be invested in short- and intermediate-term notes and bonds Investment Objective: 65-Year-Old Assume that she has adequate insurance coverage and a cash reserve Let’s also assume she is retiring this year Depending on her income from social security and a pension plan, she may need some current income from her retirement portfolio to meet living expenses She also needs protection against inflation A risk-averse investor will choose a combination of current income and capital preservation strategies A more risk-tolerant investor will choose a combination of current income and total return in an attempt to have principal growth outpace inflation TS Nguyễn Duy Linh TS Nguyễn Duy Linh 20 22 21 CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES HOW TO MAKE YOUR GOALS ACHIEVABLE 22 23 Investment Objective: 65-Year-Old Here’s an example of such an objective statement: Invest in stock and bond investments to meet income needs (from bond income and stock dividends) and to provide for real growth (from equities) Fixed-income securities should comprise 55–65 percent of the total portfolio; of this, 5–15 percent should be invested in short-term securities for extra liquidity and safety The remaining 35–45 percent of the portfolio should be invested in high-quality stocks whose risk is similar to the S&P 500 index SMART is an acronym that you can use to guide your goal TS Nguyễn Duy Linh TS Nguyễn Duy Linh SMART GOALS setting To make sure your goals are clear and reachable, each one should be: Specific (simple, sensible, significant) Measurable (meaningful, motivating) Achievable (agreed, attainable) Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based) Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive) 23 7/15/2022 CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INVESTMENT CONSTRAINTS CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INVESTMENT CONSTRAINTS 24 25 Constraints also affect the investment plan Liquidity needs Time horizon Tax concerns Legal and regulatory constraints Unique needs and preferences Liquidity Needs An asset is liquid if it can be quickly converted to cash at a price close to fair market value An investor may have a primary long-term goal, several nearterm goals may require available funds, ex., buy car, house, college tuition payments… Time Horizon Investors with long investment horizons generally require less liquidity and can tolerate greater portfolio risk Investors with shorter time horizons generally favor more liquid and less risky investments because losses are harder to overcome in a short time frame TS Nguyễn Duy Linh TS Nguyễn Duy Linh 24 25 CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS INVESTMENT CONSTRAINTS 26 27 Tax Concerns Investment planning is complicated by taxes that can seriously become overwhelming if international investments are part of the portfolio Taxable income from interest, dividends, or rents is taxable at the investor’s marginal tax rate A note regarding taxes: The impact of taxes on investment strategy and final results is clearly very significant Consult a tax accountant for advice regarding tax regulations TS Nguyễn Duy Linh 26 TS

Preferences Covers the unique concerns of each investor Because each investor is unique, the implications of this final constraint differ for each person Each individual must decide on and then communicate these specific needs and preferences in their policy statement The investment process and the financial markets are highly regulated and subject to numerous laws Regulations can constrain the investment choices available to someone in a fiduciary role A fiduciary, or trustee, supervises an investment portfolio of a third party, such as a trust account or discretionary account All investors must respect certain laws, such as insider trading prohibitions TS Nguyễn Duy Linh TS Nguyễn Duy Linh 28 29 B THE NEED FOR AN INVESTMENT POLICY STATEMENT THE NEED FOR AN INVESTMENT POLICY STATEMENT 30 31 Important reasons for constructing an IPS: It helps the investor decide on realistic investment goals after learning about the financial markets and the risks of investing It creates a standard by which to judge the performance of the portfolio manager Protects the client against a portfolio manager’s inappropriate investments or unethical behavior Components of an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) Brief client description Purpose of establishing policies and guidelines Duties and investment responsibilities of parties involved Statement of investment goals, objectives, and constraints Schedule for review of investment performance and the investment policy statement Performance measures and benchmarks Any considerations in developing strategic asset allocation The first
