You will be developing a simple portfolio that will be used for analysis over the following five weeks. You are given $10,000 to allocate to a portfolio. You must allocate 100% of your portfolio to the following securities:
- One hundred shares of a publicly traded company;
- One corporate bond;
- One mutual fund that reflects your investment style;
- One hundred puts or calls of one option of your choosing (just make sure it is at least 6 months out);
- With any leftover cash, find a 6-month certificate of deposit (CD) and "invest" the funds into it.
This assignment contains two parts
- Develop a table in Excel that can be used to track the value of these securities.
- Describe your objective(s) for this portfolio and why you chose the securities you did for your portfolio.
