Finance Case Study Assignment:

Task:

As part of the quarterly review meetings that your stockbroking company conducts with clients, you are required to prepare a performance summary and review document assessing the investment strategy and the performance of the resulting investment portfolio that was proposed for the client in Case Study 1. This portfolio review document is to be completed based on market and security information as at October 6th 2017, and should include the following components:

1. A summary of the global, economic and industry environments relevant to the equity market sector generally and the proposed investment strategy and the recommended investment portfolio structure specifically, if relevant, during the investment period.

2. An overall summary of the investment portfolio outcome for the approximate three-month period from July 10th 2017 to October 6th 2017. This should include determination of the value of each individual portfolio component as at October 6th 2017 and, from this, the overall value of the portfolio as at October 6th 2017. The overall portfolio outcome should be presented in table, or similar interpretable, format as part of the summary analysis.

3. Identification and discussion of the investment components which were significant contributors to, or detractors from, variation in the portfolio value and portfolio performance over the 3-month period, and any specific explanations for the movement in these components.

4. A quantitative review of the performance of the investment portfolio using recognised portfolio performance measures, as well as performance comparison to index or other benchmarks.

5. Recommendations for any future modifications to the portfolio structure or individual investment components within the portfolio, with appropriate justification provided.

The value of the investment portfolio as at October 6th 2017 should be determined based on the following information:
1. Using closing share and other security prices on October 6th 2017, which will be provided in a spreadsheet file on the subject LMS site.
2. Information on dividend payments or other distributions associated with shares or securities will also be provided and these should be reflected in portfolio value changes.
3. Short sales positions are closed out on October 6th 2017 (by purchasing the relevant shares or securities at the closing prices on October 6th 2017), with the purchase proceeds coming from the balance of the cash management trust account.
4. Futures contract positions are assumed to be closed out on October 6th 2017 by entering into an offsetting futures contract on the same underlying index product.
5. Index call or put options are assumed to be sold on October 6th 2017 at the prevailing closing option security prices on this date.

6. Interest will be paid on the balance invested in the cash management trust account on October 6th 2017, prior to any disbursement of this cash holding for the closing out of short sales positions.

For any students that had problems with the correct or appropriate composition of an investment portfolio as part of Case Study 1, corrections can be made to the portfolio for the purposes of accurately completing the Case Study 6 requirement or, alternatively, another example portfolio will be provided on the subject LMS site that can be using for the purposes of completing Case Study 6.
