principle which was followed while allocating asset. The ending value of the portfolio has been
around $99,415.26 whereby it represent an overall loss in the portfolio value in percentage terms
of around -0.36%. Investment planning for the portfolio has been primarily done by assessing the
client risk portfolio which is highly risk averse and it was seen that majority of the cash
investment that was done by the company was done was in particularly done because of the
client profile. In particular it is important to note that the large cap investment did not perform on
an overall portfolio basis as some of the stocks included in the portfolio underperformed after the

$819.04 showing a percentage fall by around -2.15%. The only stock that has shown a consistent
increase in the profit was the Nike Company which increased from $87.69 to around $92.25
showing an increase by around 5.20%.
In particular, it was important that investment in stocks that have well generated sound
returns should be further considered for investment and valuation purpose whereby the
investment in Nike Stocks should be further increased to a considerable amount so that the
portfolio value increases considerably. The key learnings from the investment that is well
examined from the above stock portfolio is that the stock investment in portfolio should be done
in a more diversified manner so that the risk and return in the portfolio does not affect much.
