Blue-chip stocks that provide steady growth over a longer time period. These stocks tend to be more stable and their holding periods can extend beyond a year.

Dividend stocks that provide a steady income stream. The investment horizon can be up to 12 months or more.

Growth stocks that focus on capital growth with potential for higher returns. However, investors would need to be able to tolerate a fair amount of fluctuations in the stock investment value.

When a stock is selected and added to the model portfolio, its performance is monitored closely to determine when to take profit, hold or cut losses. Investment positions are also protected with recommended stop-loss levels and trailing stops to realise effective profits.
