Portfolio Construction: Investment Strategy

03/10/2009 by

The third part that we need for developing your Investment Philosophy is your Investment Strategy. There are two clearly defined strategies for investing; one associated with each of the specific market beliefs.

The first strategy we will discuss is Asset Class Investing which employs an investment methodology that is consistent with the belief that markets work.
The second strategy is Speculative Investing, otherwise known as Active Management. This approach is aligned with the belief that markets fail.

For this reason, it is important to consciously examine your beliefs about the market.
