Investing practice · 14 September 2026

Identify the claim your portfolio depends on

Choose a hypothetical holding and list three assumptions: product structure, business or asset exposure, and your time horizon. Mark which assumption the upcoming release could actually inform. Do not rewrite unrelated assumptions merely because a headline is prominent. End with one original document to read and one unresolved question.
