7 Investment Styles: Which Fits You?

An investment style is simply the approach that investors take when assembling a portfolio of assets to meet their investment objectives. Investment styles can be divided and subdivided into a variety of ways, many of which are highly complex. The focus of this article, however, is on the seven most basic investment styles:

 

 

  1. Value

The value investing style focuses on buying a fundamentally strong company at a reasonable/cheap price. As a result, investors look for companies which offer a low price to earnings ratio, a low price to sales ratio, and a higher dividend yield in general.

  1. Growth

The growth style of investing seeks for companies with high earnings growth rates, high return on equity, high profit margins, and low dividend yields. The idea is that if a company possesses all of these characteristics, it is likely to be an innovator in its field, growing rapidly and reinvesting most or all of its earnings to fuel future growth.

  1. Dividend

Dividend investing is an investing strategy that focuses on companies that pay out dividends and are likely to increase their dividend pay-out over time.

  1. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

ESG investing is a strategy that investors use to create investment portfolios that take environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into account while generating financial returns and making a good impact on society.

  1. Size

Small-cap stock portfolios have historically outperformed large-cap stock portfolios in terms of returns. Investors can capture size by looking at the market capitalization of a stock.

  1. Momentum

Momentum investing takes advantage of market volatility and looks for stocks that have outperformed in the past because those stocks tend to outperform in the future. A momentum strategy is based on relative returns from three months to a year.

  1. Quality

Investors who advocate a quality approach to investing prefer high-quality companies that generate free cash flow and a reasonable return on equity. Aside from that, investors consider other aspects of the business such as management stability, the uniqueness of the business model, and product reliability.

There is no single best style and it depends on the investor’s risk tolerance and overall goals. Style investing provides the benefits of diversification, which minimizes a portfolio’s exposure to risk. It helps to improve diversification because different investment styles cover various situations in the economic cycle.

Phillip Capital Malaysia provides a comprehensive list of portfolios that may suit your investment preferences and financial goals.
