“Developing an Investment Portfolio for a High Net Worth Client”
 
You have been appointed to advise one of Australia’s wealthiest persons who has just received a cheque for $A1 billion dollars from the sale of his coal mining business. He is aged 58 years, happily married with four children who have completed university and are each engaged in professional practice. Your client wishes to retire and pursue his recreational and charitable interests. He has no debts and does not wish to incur any.
 
He is a moderately conservative investor but is willing to take a certain amount of risk in order to grow his investment portfolio. He wishes to set up a diversified investment portfolio which – over the next 10 years – will provide him with an income of $5 million a year, which he will draw from the portfolio, whilst seeking growth of his capital balance of at least CPI plus 2% per annum.
 
You are required to prepare a summary of your recommendations for how much of his capital should be invested in your selected asset classes [cash, Australian fixed interest, Australian equities, Australian property, overseas fixed interest, shares and / or property and alternative investments (if any – see chapter 18 of the text-book)]. State  reasons for your choices and your estimate of his expected annual income and expected annual capital growth likely to be achieved from your recommended portfolio. Summarise the risks of your recommendations.
