Background:

Your manager has chosen investments that range from short-term to long-term. Your manager has provided specific investment criteria with the suggested investments. As such, you do not need to identify additional investment options. Additionally, only the viability of the investment(s) should be considered in this report. Lastly, you are expected to provide advice on each investment in isolation from the other investments, i.e. not as a portfolio of investments
