Innis Investments manages funds for a number of companies and wealthy clients. The investment strategy is tailored to each client's needs.
For a new client, Innis has been authorized to invest up to $1.2 million in two investment funds: a stock fund and a money market fund. Each unit of the stock fund costs $50 and provides an annual rate of return of 10%; each unit of the money market fund costs $100 and provides an annual rate of return of 4%.
The client wants to minimize risk subject to the requirement that the annual income from the investment be at least $60,000.
According to Innis' risk measurement system, each unit invested in the stock fund has a risk index of 8, and each unit invested in the money market fund has a risk index of 3. The higher risk index associated with the stock fund simply indicates that it is the riskier investment.
Innis's client also specified that at least $300,000 be invested in the money market fund.
