We create our own investment portfolio.

Creating an investment portfolio is, so to speak, the ABC of investment; it is the portfolio that is designed to combine various investment options, taking into account risk and profitability.

Creating your own portfolio is not so difficult, the main thing is to follow the basic rules and know some secrets of finding investment objects.

You can see examples of such approaches at Alpari, but let’s return to creating our own version.

1. Buy at the minimum - the lower the price of shares or other assets at the moment, the higher the chances of their growth; there is nothing difficult in analyzing statistics on several dozen assets and choosing those that are at historical minimums.

It would be a good idea to analyze the reasons for the price drop and evaluate the prospects of the company in whose shares you are going to invest.

2. Number of assets - from 5 to 10 options; money should not be distributed among an excessively large number of assets, as this complicates the selection of the best and control over changes in the situation.

3. Portfolio composition - when forming an investment portfolio, it is not at all necessary to focus only on stocks; you can also use precious metals and currencies that are at significant historical minimums.

For example, the share price of Google Inc is currently at its lowest point in three years, at the same time the company plans to install high-speed wireless Internet throughout the United States, which will definitely lead to growth; gold has also fallen in price, but against the backdrop of unstable Given the events in the world economy, there are clear trends towards its growth; oil prices have fallen to a record level, which means we should expect their record growth in the near future.

(Recommendations are given for example only and may not reflect the current situation.) Using a similar principle, we find other applicants for a place in the portfolio.

4. Investment time - you should not count on quick profits; usually the profitability of portfolio investments is assessed at the end of the year; this is a long-term investment option.

If you find it too difficult to create your own portfolio, you can always take advantage of ready-made offers; the most profitable of them are available in Alpari and Aforex .
