Jane Smith's Investment Decision (C‪)‬

An investment adviser for National Securities Inc. was meeting again with a new client. He was recommending a number of stocks for consideration as part of her investment portfolio. The client wanted to understand what the expected return and risk implications were related to investing in some of the recommended stocks. This case allows students to examine return and risk measures for both individual securities as well as portfolios. Sharpe and Treynor performance measures are also examined. This case is the third in a series of three cases that focus on a variety of investment decisions. (See also 9A98N029 and 9A98N030.)
