Strategy
The portfolio is structured on two major types of stocks: stocks of large stable companies that regulary pay dividends, but have no significant growth potential. The second type is growth stocks that have such significant growth potential. And the latter one should become a major driver for portfolio value.
Market conditions could cause the change of assets share in portfolio structure.
