This is a sample of my work. This is the introduction of a thesis study that I made last week.
Introduction
Most individuals, investors, and firms want to invest their current surplus fund most efficiently in the long term assets in anticipation of an expected flow of benefit over a given period of time. Since investment performance is one of the most important factors for the success of banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions, it then becomes very pertinent that decisions to invest are done with utmost certainty of benefits (Wild et al., 2007). The quality of investment decision made greatly relies on the investor’s preferences.
An investment by “finance maps of world” involves the choice by an individual or an organization such as a pension fund, after some analysis or thought, to place or lend money in a vehicle, instrument or asset, such as property, commodity, stock, bond, financial derivatives (e.g. futures or options), or the foreign asset denominated in foreign currency, that has certain level of risk and provides the possibility of generating returns over a period of time.
A published article “Attracting Foreign Investments” states that “the Philippines is unattractive to foreign investors despite the charter change to liberalize foreign ownership in certain industries in the country, which is caused by the high cost of power in the country” (Dejaresco III, 2016), which spiked the researcher’s interest on the topic of investments.
