Recommended Format

Introduction
You need to explain the strategies you used and which if any of your portfolios beat the market. The target profit is a holding period return of at least 5 percent.

Literature Review
This section should provide theoretical and empirical evidence to demonstrate your understanding of EMH and Behavioural Finance and their conflicting view.

Rational and Methodology
How did you select the companies for your portfolios? You don't have to give a list of every company and why, it should be in general. The detail should be in the appendix. You need to make reference to the technical theories you have used and justify your approach, this should be done by making direct references to the journal articles read.

Results and Analysis
Critically evaluate the performance of your two portfolios. Did they beat the market? Which was the best? Your results should be referenced back to the literature review you have read on the type of analysis you have used and on the EMH.

Conclusion
Provide an informed conclusion to your report.

Ensure that you use capitaliq.com to trade, and make sure you use different data sets for the assignments.

Presentation: Structure, clarity, use of grammar, correct spelling, referencing.

Appendix
Spreadsheet of all of your trades, with notes on why you chose your companies. The spreadsheet needs to have profit and loss for each of your shares and should say your final profit. The spreadsheet needs to take account for trading costs, see below for details.

Transaction costs
When you purchase shares you must also pay Stamp Duty of 0.2% of the purchase price. There is no Stamp Duty payable when you sell your shares.

You should also assume that you buy your shares online through an internet broker. Assume that the broker charges you a flat fee of SGD10.00 per trade, i.e. SGD10.00 when you buy and SGD10.00 when you sell.

You can buy and sell in any amount you like. You do not have to buy in round amounts. For example, you could buy 798 shares or any other number you like.

Sources of Data
Obtain share prices and news from financial information sources like the SP Capital IQ Database, yahoo and Bloomberg (I will provide you with my capitaliq.com account details because you must use it).
