6 Day Course
Theme: company designations
Day 5: Friday
There are many other roles that companies have. These are not necessarily mandatory.
Some other common roles are CTO — Chief Technology Officer.
Some have dedicated roles for operations, customer service, design, supply chain, sales, marketing, and procurement.
These roles might start with a VP (Vice President) title. VP Technology, VP Human Resources, etc.
These are similar to “Chief of-” titles.
The reason we discussed these roles is because the people running a company are crucial in ensuring the company runs well and serves shareholders’ interests.
Investors must keep an eye on the competence and integrity of the persons involved in different key roles of an organisation.
Featured Question
“What are the aggressive risk related investments for an individual and how much percentage of his total investments can be Aggressive risk portion”
There is no fixed rule as such.
For example, entrepreneurs who run their own company have nearly 100% of their wealth invested in their own start-up.
This is how some of the richest people in the world got rich — by having nearly all their money invested in one stock, which is their own company’s stock.
Even among investors, some of the most successful investors have concentrated their investments in a small number of stocks which can be considered a high risk strategy.
For a salaried individual, a balanced strategy is mostly suggested.
So, a mix of everything from FD, equity mutual funds, gold, and real estate is included.
Some higher risk investment options are mid cap and small cap mutual funds.
Again, there is no consensus on this but investors are generally told to invest less than 20-30% of their net worth in these high-risk mutual funds.
More knowledgeable investors might choose to invest directly in stocks of their choice.
Other high risk investments are real-estate and trading strategies.
These require skill and knowledge on the part of investors.
The thumb rule is that an investor must be mentally prepared to lose the entire amount and still not have a meaningful impact on their lifestyle.
That is the maximum they should invest in such high-risk investments
