In Master's graduation qualification work on the topic "Influence of the time horizon on the risk and profitability of investment" I considered financial instruments with different degree of liquidity to study the relationship of the horizon of investment with Profitability and risk. Actuality of the given work consists in necessity to establish competently the terms and horizons of investment for those or other financial instruments.
