Investment Strategy

A systematic plan that guides an investor's decisions on asset allocation, security selection, and risk management to achieve specific financial goals. Investment strategies range from passive indexing to active stock picking, growth investing, value investing, and more.

Example

For example, a growth investment strategy might involve allocating 70% of a portfolio to high-growth tech stocks and 30% to emerging market ETFs, with quarterly rebalancing to maintain target allocations.
