A
well-crafted portfolio is the most effective and proven way of reducing risks
while enjoying the high returns that shares can offer.
Many
investors, however, simply pick shares that catch their fancy at random, or
those that have been recommended in the financial press without any thought of
creating a suitable, balanced portfolio. They
then cling on to their purchases irrespective of whether their investment needs
have changed or whether the companies they chose still meet their investment
objectives.
Step
by step, this book explains in simple terms how to build and manage a share
portfolio:
The
importance and benefits of a portfolio
How
to
build a suitable share portfolio
Deciding
what you want from your portfolio — income versus
growth
Why
you must hold a diversified portfolio
How to select the right shares for your
portfolio
How
big a portfolio should you hold
How
to monitor and manage your portfolio
How
to periodically rebalance your portfolio.
Written
in a clear, easy to follow style — and packed with real examples — this book
will benefit both beginners and the more experienced investors alike to build
and profit from a share portfolio.
