Study Notes

  • A diversified investment strategy for a client with a medium risk tolerance, a 10-year investment horizon, and an interest in the agricultural sector is outlined below

Asset Allocation

  • Equities: 40% allocated to agricultural companies involved in farming, food processing, and agricultural technology; could include stocks of companies such as Deere & Company or Archer Daniels Midland
  • Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs): 20% allocated to REITs specializing in agricultural land or facilities, which provides exposure to the agricultural sector and offers potential income through dividends.
  • Bonds: 30% allocated to corporate bonds from stable agricultural companies, which provides fixed income and reduces overall portfolio volatility.
  • Commodities: 10% allocated to agricultural commodities like corn, wheat, or soybeans through ETFs, which adds inflation protection and diversification.

Expected Return Profile

  • Aims for moderate growth, with equities potentially offering higher returns over the long term, while bonds and REITs provide stability and income.
  • The expected annual return could range from 6% to 8%, depending on market conditions.

Adjustments for Decreased Risk Tolerance

  • Reduce Equities to 20% by shifting funds from equities to more stable investments
  • Increase Bonds to 50% to provide more stability and lower risk
  • Maintain REITs at 20% for income and diversification
  • Eliminate Commodities to avoid the volatility associated with them

Revised Strategy

  • Focuses on capital preservation and provides lower volatility while still offering some exposure to the agricultural sector
  • The expected return would likely decrease to around 4% to 6%.
