Portfolio Management Assignment

INSTRUCTIONS

You are a mutual fund manager for a successful investment company. You have been approached by a retail
investor to create an investment portfolio of six funds with an initial capital outlay of $500,000. The investor,
although risk averse, is aiming for a minimum return of 3.5% per annum.
You are required to construct an appropriate portfolio from your own selection of funds and to explain why you
have chosen them.
Funds can be found on most investment company websites (including Old Mutual, one of the largest) and can
be sourced anywhere worldwide.

Number of words: 1,500
All refencing and citations require Harvard referencing style

Please consider the following in building your portfolio:
• Diverse asset classes
• Risk
• Diversification by sector, region and currency
• Macro-economic factors

Discuss other things such as the acting, setting, special effects, sounds (Foley work), and musical score. You can discuss the nature of how the story is told, but not the entire plot.

Objective: Due to online shopping and changes in marketing strategies we are asked more and more to review products and services. It is always useful to be able to offer a measured, logical, and honest response to any request for a review. Film reviews are a fun way to explore how to write a review and to determine what is appropriate and what is not appropriate when writing in this genre. To that end we will view a film, look at some reviews of some current films and write a review of 2-4 pages.
Here are some other types of reviews you may be asked to write:
1. Employee/employer reviews
2. Product or software reviews
3. Literature reviews (when doing research)
4. Book reviews
5. Process reviews (how well does a new process at your job work)
There are many others, but this gives you an idea of what you can expect going into a university or career.
Method: After seeing the film Europa Report writer a 2-4page paper that honestly and thoroughly reviews the film. Treat your essay as if you are writing for an audience that might be planning to go see the film. Do not just retell the plot of the film. Discuss other things such as the acting, setting, special effects, sounds (Foley work), and musical score. You can discuss the nature of how the story is told, but not the entire plot.
If you choose to work in pairs I will be looking for an essay that is 4 pages long and one that has two opposing views about the film. You will be writing a blended essay that works together to gives both a positive argument and a negative one (for and against). Be sure you both upload a copy to the drops box with both your names on it so I don’t get confused about who is doing what.
Keep in mind that writing a review is just another kind of argument. You are trying to get your audience to trust in and believe in your opinion about this film.

For this assignment, you will be completing another content analysis
Working Conditions on TV Jobs
Exercise one: Examine the modern workplace as depicted on a current TV drama or sitcom. You’ll want to take notes as you view one episode of the program, and you may need multiple viewings to collect your data. Look at the way characters perform their jobs on the show. Often workers are shown socializing or engaging in other kinds of personal activities while on the job. How much real work gets done? And when characters are actually working, what aspects of that work are featured during the program? Often we see only the most unusual or glamorous aspects of work, while the day-to-day routine or behind-the-scenes aspects rarely appear. Another dimension is how characters relate to their jobs and to their co-workers. Are they happy and fulfilled by the work they do? Do they complain about work or experience other kinds of troubles with their jobs? How are power and resistance exercised in the workplace? Discuss your findings to the extent to which you believe the programs accurately reflect these professions in real life.
Your assignment: Choose one of the exercises provided and follow the instructions as outlined. Write a three-to-four page essay analyzing your findings.
