INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investments
Real estate investments trusts (REITs) are a fundamental part in equity consideration
and during fixed income portfolio. REITs are considered due to their ability to provide a
diverse potential and better returns to investments. Equity has been used to state the value of
assets when we minus the value of its liabilities. Equity takes different forms to represent the
owner’s interest like stock or security (Chandra, 2017). Equity also represents some funds
that are initially contributed by the owner known as shareholders equity. This investments has
a role of increasing the long term expected performance in investments. They also assist in
diversification of retirement savings and investment portfolio. An investor looks at the
income contributed through good investments (Chisholm, Sweeny, & Saxena, 2016). High
and stable incomes are the best in investments. There is also long term capital appreciation,
inflation protection and when there is good product investment.
Fundamental analysis when investing is helpful. Fundamental analysis aids in aiding
financial data which is necessary for decision making. Quantitative analysis of financial data
helps in looking for kind of revenue. Quantitative analysis is fundamental in looking at the
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that are generated by the company (Crowe, 2017).
Using an analysis, an investor is able to evaluate the current and future performances of the
business.

As per the data provided, the inflation rate is 3.0 %. Micro economic policies suggest
that inflation affects the purchasing power of a unit when the currency falls. Mr. Jack, needs
to invest in goods and services since at 1.0 %, the fixed deposit rate from banks seems to be
very low. This means that there will be no much profit gained if Mr. Jack invests at the
moment (Damodaran, 2016). The property mortgage rate for both residential and commercial

properties is 2.5 % p.a. based on Mr. Jacks, the asking price for the property is fair at $2800
while the expected monthly rental stands at $8,500 to $ 9,500 respectively.
Equities
When using equity as an investment, the investor expects to have a permanent capital
in the company. If the company is there to stay, the investors equity is not expected to be

of the products. It also does not require the investor to keep up with the cost of servicing of

are the high demands that is required to raise the kind of capital. There is also much power

In equity investment, Mr. Jack can be recommended to invest since equity continues
to provide continued income. The investment is appropriate since it has been proven not to
have the 2.5% cost of bank loan servicing. The initial period of 1.0 % cannot be associated
with the equity invested in the initial period. From the initial deposit of 1.0%, the business
grows at its pace. Mr. Jack is not prone to have challenges in raising equity capital since he
has enough money to begin the investment.
REITs
Investors have been seen to invest in REITs so that they may get higher income while
looking at the long term growth. For an investor, every investment has advantages and
