regularly review entire portfolios, spread resources appropriately and ad#ust
pro#ects to produce the highest departmental returns.
"ro#ect management is the discipline of planning, organizing and managing
resources to bring about the successful completion of specific pro#ect goals and
ob#ectives.
pro#ect is a finite endeavor &having specific start and completion dates'
undertaken to create a unique product or service which brings about beneficial
change or added value. !his finite characteristic of pro#ects stands in contrast to
processes, or operations, which are permanent or semi$permanent functional work
to repetitively produce the same product or service. In practice, the management of
these two systems is often found to be quite different, and as such requires the
development of distinct technical skills and the adoption of separate management.

analysis is important since various industries are not at the same level from
the investment point of view. It is important to recognize that at a particular
point of time, a particular industry may have a better growth potential than
other industries. For example, there was a time when #ute industry was in
great favour because of its growth potential and high profitability, the

if the timing is bad due to wide fluctuation in the price of shares of that companies.

gains, he should buy cheap and sell dear, i.e. buy when the share are selling at a
low price and sell when they are at a higher price. %ut in practical it is a difficult
task.

in buying without any delay because every day the prices touch a new high. ;ater

inflation over an investment holding period. Inflation rates vary over time
and investors are caught unaware when rate of inflation changes
unexpectedly causing erosion in the value of realized rate of return and
expected return.
"urchasing power risk is more in inflationary conditions especially in
respect of bonds and fixed income securities. It is not desirable to invest in
such securities during inflationary periods. "urchasing power risk is
however, less in flexible income securities like equity shares or common

RISK RETURN ANALYSIS%
ll investment has some risk. Investment in shares of companies has its own risk
or uncertainty3 these risks arise out of variability of yields and uncertainty of
appreciation or depreciation of share prices, losses of liquidity etc
!he * ,() +)can be represented by the variance of the returns while the
)+' ,() +)is capital appreciation plus payout, divided by the purchase price
of the share.
Aormally, the higher the risk that the investor takes, the higher is the return.
!here is, however, a risk less return on capital of about +)H which is the bank, rate
charged by the (.%.I or long term, yielded on government securities at around +-H
to +H. !his risk less return refers to lack of variability of return and no uncertainty

in the repayment or capital. %ut other risks such as loss of liquidity due to parting
with money etc., may however remain, but are rewarded by the total return on the
capital.
(isk$return is sub#ect to variation and the ob#ectives of the portfolio manager are
to reduce that variability and thus reduce the risk by choosing an appropriate
portfolio.
!raditional approach advocates that one security holds the better, it is according
to the modern approach diversification should not be quantity that should be related
to the quality of scripts which leads to quality of portfolio.
xperience has shown that beyond the certain securities by adding more
securities expensive.
RETURNS ON PORTFOLIO7
ach security in a portfolio contributes return in the proportion of its
investments in security. !hus the portfolio expected return is the weighted average
of the expected return, from each of the securities, with weights representing the
proportions share of the security in the total investment. >hy does an investor have
so many securities in his portfolio? If the security %@ gives the maximum return
why not he invests in that security all his funds and thus maximize return? !he
answer to this questions lie in the investor6s perception of risk attached to
investments, his ob#ectives of income, safety, appreciation, liquidity and hedge
against loss of value of money etc. this pattern of investment in different asset
categories, types of investment, etc., would all be described under the caption of
diversification, which aims at the reduction or even elimination of non$systematic
risks and achieve the specific ob#ectives of investors.

CONCLUSION
From the above discussion it is clear that portfolio functioning is based on market
risk, so one can get the help from the professional portfolio manager or the
*erchant banker if required before investment because applicability of practical
knowledge through technical analysis can help an investor to reduce risk. In other
words Security prices are determined by money manager and home managers,
students and strikers, doctors and dog catchers, lawyers and landscapers, the
wealthy and the wanting. !his breadth of market participants guarantees an
element of unpredictability and excitement. If we were all totally logical and couldseparate our emotions from our investment decisions then, the determination of
price based on future earnings would work magnificently. nd since we would all
have the same completely logical expectations, price would only change when
quarterly reports or relevant news was released.
0I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate2 OSir
rthur wing "inero. +P-.
If price are based on investors6 expectations, then knowing what a security
should sell for become less important than knowing what other investors expect it
to sell for. 0!here are two times of a man6s life when he should not speculate3
when he can6t afford it and when he can2 O *ark !win, +PM.

we believe that this dealings is not a :ambling2 we have to start up it with
intelligent way.
I can conclude from this pro#ect that portfolio management has become an
important service for the investors to identify the companies with growth potential.
"ortfolio managers can provide the professional advice to the investors to make an
intelligent and informed investment.
"ortfolio management role is still not identified in the recent time but due it
expansion of investors market and growing complexities of the investors the
services of the portfolio managers will be in great demand in the near future.
!oday the individual investors do not show interest in taking professional help
but surely with the growing importance and awareness regarding portfolio6s
manager6s people will definitely prefer to take professional help.
