    About this ebook

    Due to the rapid changes encountered in the social, economical,
    and technological status in the society, the financial market is
    becoming more volatile causing a great impact on the capital
    investment made by the investor. In today's market scenario,
    investors need to make a wise-decision on the type of financial
    investment the investor is intending to make. Fundamentally,
    there are two main types of investments that are available in
    the market and they are: a slow and steady income generating
    type of investment known as the defensive investment, and a
    high-profit generating with a high-risk oriented type of
    investment known as the growth investments.
    Generally, the investors are advised to consider a diverse
    portfolio of investments to gain maximum profit with lower risks
    catered to various economic conditions prevailing in the market.
    The diverse portfolio of an investor can include a combination
    of investments ranging from a stable, income generating
    defensive investments (cash and fixed deposit) to a highly
    volatile and high profit generating growth investment plans.
    While there are many pioneers who have contributed in the
    growth investment plan, the earnings cannot be guaranteed
    based on a single thumb of rule or by adopting any specific
    strategies. Some of the greatest investors who have contributed
    in the field of finance investments are Thomas Rowe Price, Jr,
    Philip Fisher, Peter Lynch, John Templeton and William J.O'
    Neil. These investors have adapted various types of investment
    styles including the successful long-term growth investment style.
    However, none of these investors have completely adapted the
    growth investment style exclusively.
    Thomas Rowe Price, Jr, known as the father of growth
    investment, started his own fund investment association (T.
    Rowe Price Associates) in the year 1937. The investment style
    of this association is to market funds on well-managed and
    high-profit oriented companies.
    Philip Fisher, a famous growth investor and founder of an
    investment management firm known as Fisher investments, in
    the year 1931. Fisher mostly invested in the manufacturing
    companies and emphasized on focusing on a limited number of
    stocks that has the potential to outperform in sales and profits
    sector for a long term. He preferred to reinvest the earnings
    for the development of the company and emphasized to
    monitor the following key factors before investing in any
    company: tracking management quality, facilitating competitive
    edge, and recording consistent sales growth.
    William J. O'Neil, stands out for his own
    investment strategy that considers both
    the quantitative and qualitative approaches
    for determining the potential of high value
    stocks. Further, in his style of investment,
    he emphasizes on holding onto stocks that
    are of high value and selling out the
    stocks that are undervalued.
    While each of the great investors has
    implemented different investment styles to
    meet their financial objectives, there is no
    single thumb rule or strategy that
    promises high-profit returns in the growth
    investment plan.
