QUESTION: 1
Tiffany's brother, Jamal, is a new investor but believes that the markets are basically efficient
and that he doesn't have the knack for or interest in predicting trends. He also believes in saving
money on transaction costs and taxes. Jamal's investment style is best described by which of
the following:

A. Indexing
B. Tactical asset allocation
C. Buy and hold
D. Diversification

Answer(s): C
Explanation:
A buy-and-hold strategy describes a passive investment approach. This approach assumes that
markets are efficient and that it is impossible to time the purchase or sale of securities or to
manage the balance of assets in order to take advantage of market movements. Since this is a
passive strategy, there are reduced transactions costs and also reduced tax consequences. The
downside to a buy-and- hold approach is that over time, the risk and reward of the asset
allocation wil change and may not be in alignment with the client's original risk tolerance and
objectives

C. 98%
D. 4%

Answer(s): D

has owned the bond for seven years.
