Investment & Fund Management Assessment1
You are required to imagine that a friend of yours has just won £1 million on the Lottery. Your friend knows very little about investment and finance and has asked for your advice.
She will give up employment and retire and is looking for an income of about £100,000 per year. She wants her £1 million to remain intact and grow in line with inflation. She is quite risk averse, so she requires a good spread of investments so that only relatively small amounts are ‘at risk’ in any instrument, company or country.
You are required to suggest a suitable portfolio of investments that might be expected to achieve your friend’s objectives. Your report must use the concepts on portfolio theory and practice covered in the module to date. You must also use data up to February 2024 in your analysis. You are required to submit your suggested portfolio according to the deadline:
