Purpose:
Involves building upon the efforts of the Game Plan and providing the foundation to plan the investment strategy and portfolio/sub-portfolio structures.
Objective:
Description:
The focus is on planning the overall portfolio management initiative and setting it up for success. Based on input from the game plan, a portfolio plan is developed to define the investment strategy and portfolio structure. During Planning, the sub-portfolios are determined. An overall portfolio categorization scheme is created, and each category’s target percentage of resource allocation is agreed upon. A personal investment portfolio analog would note the distinction between bonds, various types of equities, and real estate and would make a guesstimate of how much will be invested in each category. An overall portfolio strategy and the categories into which investments will be split are determined (e.g., run, grow, and transform; core, nondiscretionary, discretionary, growth, and venture; or discovery, project, and asset investments). The goals and target investment mixes across these categories are set.
