Model Portfolio


These are our six recommended portfolios and Greater Asian Stock picks. These portfolio recommendations are meant to serve as possible guidelines and do not take into account the financial situation, time horizon, existing portfolio and risk profile of an individual investor. It is the investor's responsibility and discretion to decide if these are suitable for him or her. If in doubt, please seek professional advice. The initial portfolios were started on Nov 20, 2002, with $20,000 U.S. Dollars.

 

Our overall portfolio style strategy: Core Holdings

 

The portfolio's stock exposure is spread evenly across the market and includes a good mix of small, medium, and large companies, as well as a fairly even mix of conservatively priced value stocks and high-flying growth stocks. For most investors, maintaining such broad-based market exposure is a prudent way to invest.
