Answer：
1、solution:C
The three major steps in the portfolio management process are (1) planning, (2) execution, and (3) feedback. The planning step includes *uating the investor’s needs and preparing an investment policy statement.

Foundations and life insurance companies typically have long investment horizons. Property and casualty insurance companies typically have shorter investment horizons than life insurance companies because claims against their policies occur sooner on average.
