16. Suppose that you are
considering investing £20,000.
You are selecting one investment
from the six possibilities
shown below.
There is a 50:50 chance that
the investment will decrease
in value, in which case you
will end up with the amount
shown in the white left-hand
semicircle. Likewise, there
is a 50:50 chance that it
will increase in value, in
which case you will end up
with the amount shown in the
right-hand blue semicircle.
For example, Investment A
will always result in you
ending up with your original
sum of £20,000, whilst
Investment F will result in
you either getting back £14,000
or £52,000.
As you go from A to F your
expected return increases
but so does your risk.
17. The graphs below show
the performance of four portfolios
for the last ten years.
Portfolio A doubled its value
over the period, but it made
big gains in some years, and
suffered big losses in other
years. Portfolio D grew by
a much smaller amount, but
it was steady from year to
year. Portfolios B & C
are intermediate between And
D both in their overall growth
and in year to year fluctuations.
Past performance is not
necessarily a guide to future
performance. However, considering
your personal circumstances
and reasons for investing
(pension, income, growth etc),
which portfolio would you
choose FOR THE FUTURE?
