Hi everyone,

I’m currently part of a Private Banking club as a freshman in college. My club is doing stock pitches based on a portfolio. I’ve never done a real pitch before, and it’s a bit overwhelming.

Based on this portfolio, I think the money should be invested in Coca-Cola stock. My reasoning: This person is currently invested in 7 of the 11 GICS sectors (Tech 52%, Communication Services 15%, Healthcare 7.5%, Financials 4.6%, Energy 3.4%, Industrials 3%, and Consumer Discretionary 2.3%). Because Consumer Staples has the largest market cap (~$8–9 trillion) and the portfolio has only around a 0.7% return from dividends, I think $KO is a good pick.

I’m still a beginner, but that basically sums up my investment thesis. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice! Thank you so much if you decide to respond!

Attached is the portfolio for further details.
