Frequency of portfolio rebalancing basically depends upon the risk tolerance level of an individual and therefore, one has to define his/her risk tolerance level- in terms of certain % change its origional composition, due to asymetric...
Arijit Sarkar  |  Added idea  "Focus on the long term"  |  3 years ago
Enjoy the bull market while it lasts, but don't let several terrific years deflect you from a long-term strategy. In short, I suggest remembering: The market does advance, but in cycles that go down as well as up.  Plan your asset allocations for...

I found an interesting article in CPMA which highlights on the resolutions  IT portfolio vendors will adopt, Found it quite interesting , hence sharing it with all. Stop saying things like 'Manage your corporate portfolio like a portfolio of stocks' This oversimplified comment is dangerous in addition to being meaningless.  Dangerous because the corporate portfolio is made up of investments aka projects whose valuation, risk-reward profile, diversification benefits and other characteristics are much less known.  While stocks and mutual funds have a great deal of historical data, 'corporate projects' don't have this.  That said, even with the data that exists for stocks and funds, personal p...

Traditionally organization that doesn’t maintain portfolio of business appropriately faces natural life cycle of corporate life i.e. start-up, growing, mature decline phase however if corporate would like to grow consistently throughout their life cycle then they have to chose update portfolio of business strategy continuously appropriately. It is easy to make business strategy for a foreseeable future based on reasonable assumption about development in markets, technologies, regulation predictable economic situation however after the latest financial crisis recession, future is very unpredictable uncertain, so classic business strategy approach doesn’t works in an uncertain environment. In...

This is a story from web :     One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops - a few people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back. Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically weak? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy about it. The next day the same thing happened - Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down.  And the next day, and the next. This grated on the bus driver, who started losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the...

In many ways, a manager has to be a leader, so therefore a manager will have many of the traits that a leader does. However, I feel the term 'manager' applies primarily to business, it's in a manager's best interest to lead his co-workers effectively, encouraging them to achieve their goals and targets. In my experience, a leader is more of a social thing; more associated with team work, too. Go to Discussion http://lnkd.in/wUJe5E

Credit risk management is a very important area for for the banking sector and there are wide prospects of growth and other financial institutions also face problems which are financial in nature. Also, banking professionals have to maintain a balance between the risks and the returns.For a large customer base banks need to have a variety of loan products.If bank lowers the interest rates for the loans it offers, it will suffer In terms of equity, a bank must have substantial amount of capital on its reserve, but not too much that it misses the investment revenue, and not too little that it leads itself to financial instability and to the risk of regulatory non-compliance. Credit risk management is risk assessment that comes in an investment. Risk often comes in investing and in the allocation of capital. The risks must be assessed so as to derive a sound investment decision.And decisions should be made by balancing the risks and returns. Giving loans is a risky affair for bank...
