Questions 3

Simon and Janine Mackintosh are married. They are both 65 and have just retired. They have $1,500,000 funds in a combination of superannuation and non-superannuation investments. They own their home which they intend to retain as their home during their retirement phase. They do not have any debt. They plan to spend $60,000 p.a. in retirement and do not have any further planned annual or lump sum expenses.

They have two daughters to whom they would like to eventually leave their home and remaining investment assets upon their deaths.

Simon and Janine are able to tolerate some investment fluctuations, although they would be very concerned if their investments fell by 40% in any year. Throughout most of their working life, they invested their funds in growth investment options comprising 15% defensive investments (cash and fixed interest) and 85% in growth investments (shares and property). However, they want to change their asset allocation now that they are both retired.

Simon and Janine are both healthy and they are each expected to live approximately 20 more years.

Required:

  1. Explain as though you are their financial adviser, the trade-off between income oriented investments and growth orientated investments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Assuming Simon and Janine have completed their risk profile and you have ascertained that they are assertive investors.   Which of the three investment portfolios provided as the background to questions 2 and 3 would be most suitable?   Explain your answer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1.  Explain how the portfolio you selected would perform in the event of a bear market compared to a bull market.

Insta Research is a very helpful place to buy a resume in the first place. I gave them my details and did not expect that they would come up with such an exclusive design. My personality is professionally enhanced through the resume made by them. I am thankful for the depth of my heart as I would have never approached that level of excellence in my resume. Wish you good luck ahead and again thank you!

My order went 3 hours late and I also went mad. Then the customer support team calmed me down and offered me a flat discount of 50%. However, I did get my order and chilled out as the work was exactly what I requested. Next time I would place my order a bit sooner to save any trouble.
