Now a days, investment in the financial market, based on the past trend. It means performance of the organization measure by financial result in last few years, but as per my point of view, investor need to check the financial strength, future plan, current financial strategy and management policy. I will not consider the previous financial report only way to get the good return of the investment because market change with time you not able judge market based on the past trend.

In present situation the steel ,cement and construction market affected a lot due to recession and continuous reduce in demand reduce the revenue but it doesn’t mean same trend persist in near future also because in developing countries the demand for construction steel and cement rise more than double in near future  CHINA ,INDIA BRAZIL ,SOUTH AFRICA  only consume   the three fourth part of total production of core industries ,as per estimate of world economic forum CHINA  consume the two third part of total steel import to  ASIAN  market .

Past trend of market or the company report help only to understand market according to that financial environment.

If u want to get good return with low risk than go for the portfolio management, which is the unique way to handle the securities.

Diversification is a risk management technique that mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio. The logic behind this financial technique contends that a portfolio of different kinds of investments on average will yield higher returns and pose a lower risk than any individual investment found within the portfolio.

Diversification strives to smooth out unsystematic risk events in a portfolio so that the positive performance of some investments neutralizes the negative performance of others within a portfolio. The benefits of diversification only occur if the securities in the portfolio are different investments at all times.

The procedure each investor decides to diversify is through a process called asset allocation. Investors are constantly told to diversify their portfolios.

Your financial advisor tells you to own investments that are broken up and allocating them into different sections. When you do this, you can easily diversify your portfolio.

The four courses are cash, bonds or fixed income, stocks or equities, and real estate, and other basic investments. Other basic investments would include foreign investments, oil and other natural resources, and precious metals like gold and silver to add even more diversification.

In finance, a portfolio is a collection of investments held by an institution or a private individual. In building up an investment portfolio, a financial institution will typically conduct its own investment analysis, whilst a private individual may make use of the services of a financial advisor or a financial institution, which offers portfolio management services. Holding a portfolio is part of an investment and risk-limiting strategy called diversification. By owning several assets, certain types of risk can be reduced. The assets in the portfolio could include stocks, bonds, options, warrants, gold certificates, real estate, futures contracts, production facilities, or any other item that is expected to retain its value.

Portfolio management involves deciding what assets to include in the portfolio, given the goals of the portfolio owner and changing economic conditions. Selection involves deciding what assets to purchase, how many to purchase, when to purchase them, and what assets to divest. These decisions always involve some sort of performance measurement, most typically expected return on the portfolio, and the risk associated with this return (i.e. the standard deviation of the return).
