...Policy statement: Georgi Vankov Type of investor: Semi Aggressive (31 points) Investment Objective Seeks to earn long-term capital appreciation with return higher than the average market return. Investor Horizon Accumulation stage: 20-30 years window Primary Risks An investment in the Fund could lose money over short or even long periods. Investor should expect the Fund’s share price and total return to fluctuate within a wide range, like the fluctuations of the overall stock market. There is possible opportunity for the investor selling the portfolio if the negative returns are too high leading to high losses. • Stock market risk, which is the chance that stock prices overall will decline. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. • Manager risk, which is the chance that poor security selection or focus on securities in a particular sector, category, or group of companies will cause the Fund to underperform relevant benchmarks or other funds with a similar investment objective. • Investment style risk, which is the chance that returns from small- and mid-capitalization stocks will trail returns from global stock markets. Historically, small- and mid-cap stocks have been more volatile in price than the large-cap stocks that dominate the global markets, and they often perform quite differently. Small and midsize companies tend to have greater stock volatility because, among other things, these companies are...

...INTRODUCTION Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. branded as Wal-Mart, is an American multinational retailer corporation that runs chains of large discount department stores and warehouse stores. Wal-Mart is a retail giant. This company is the third largest public corporation in the world. Website link to the selected company, www.wallmart.com Background: Sam Walton, a businessman from Arkansas, began his retail career when he started work on June 3, 1940, at a J. C. Penney store in Des Moines, Iowa where he remained for 18 months. In 1945, he met Butler Brothers, a regional retailer that owned a chain of variety stores called Ben Franklin and that offered him one in Newport, Arkansas [1]. Walton was extremely successful in running the store in Newport, far exceeding expectations [2] .However, when the lease came up for renewal, Walton could neither come to agreement on the existing store's lease renewal nor find a new location in Newport. Instead, he opened a new Ben Franklin franchise in Bentonville, Arkansas, but called it "Walton's Five and Dime." There, he achieved higher sales volume by marking up slightly less than most competitors [3]. On July 2, 1962, Walton opened the first Wal-Mart Discount City store located at 719 Walnut Ave. in Rogers, Arkansas. The building is now occupied by a hardware store and an antique mall. Within five years, the company expanded to 24 stores across Arkansas and reached $12.6 million in sales [4]. In 1968, it opened its first stores outside...
