WHAT IS A “THEME””?
A StockViz Investment Theme is a portfolio of stocks that follows a particular strategy. It is a convenient way for you to:
- stick to a strategy
- follow a preset rebalancing schedule
- think in terms of your portfolio strategy rather than individual stocks
- avoid common behavioral pitfalls
- systematically track your P&L and strategy performance
WHAT IS AN INVESTMENT STRATEGY?
An investment strategy is a specific way of going about the process of investing. It identifies specific variables that define a stock. Variables can be anything: risk, style, sector, balance-sheet items, etc..
We also have themes based on what other brokers have recommended at different points in time.
By mapping specific Themes to your account, you ensure that you stay pure to your strategy allocation. And that there is no “flying by the seat of your pants” investing.
