Summary Excerpt Details

The purpose of our analysis is to advise a potential investor who is considering the entrance in the telecommunication sector in the UK. Our investor is a Pension Fund which is looking for constant long-term performance and steady/stable streams of cash in order to carry out its short-term liabilities with its depositors.

We classify our investor as a low risk profile investor, whose preference is high dividend income rather than capital gain. Under this perspective, our report will analyze Vodafone Group (Vodafone) and BT Group plc (BT), the largest telecommunication companies in the UK. Our aim is to compare and critically analyze both companies to reach an investment decision, considering our investor needs.
