My focus on education and professionalization is the reason for an in-depth company analysis that marks the basis for an investment decision. In order to create a systematic understanding of market conditions and individual businesses, my analysis contains at least eight valuation techniques to ensure a well-reasoned and understood investment recommendation. I follow the value investment approach based on North American, European, and emerging markets large-cap companies, which I believe will deliver long-term stability, sufficient diversification, and consolidate an understanding of managemental and financial driving forces. This concept, endorsed by acknowledged investors like Warren Buffet, Benjamin Graham, and Jason Zweig, focused principally on a holistic fundamental analysis, which was the main subject of my training. Still, healthy growth stocks are not precluded from an investment, as they constitute a diversifying opportunity. A cornerstone of my investment approach is the setting of target prices, which necessitate the synthesis of different valuation-based results to forge them into one core statement, which can be reflected upon at a later stage. I base my selection on the principle of Thematic Investing, differentiated by a set of dividing factors, like geography, industry, market capitalization and growth, facilitating the stock selection procedure for my analysis. In terms of asset-class exposure, I concentrate on equities and commodities, with small to no exposure to fixed income, cash equivalents and alternative investments, with the portfolios usually being ranked offensive, categorized with a score of 6, according to the risk-return profile scale, nevertheless including mostly stable assets. show more
