Interactive Investments has one of its new clients, Jason Todd, recently sign up with the firm to manage his portfolio.

Jason recently came into an inheritance of $1,250,000 that he wants to have invested.

Jason had several requirements for his portfolio:

1) A minimum of 40% of funds should be invested in aviation, pharmaceutical, and tech firms.

2) Bonds should be a minimum of 20% of the total portfolio.

3) No more than 50% of the amount invested in bonds should be placed in Dollarama stock

4) Only bonds with an investment grade credit rating should be considered for investment (use Moody's or S&P ratings)

5) Only stocks whose last period holding return is greater than 6% should be considered for investment.

Jason's objective is to maximize his expected return on investments. Ignore tax consequences on return.

1) Based on Jason's requirements and your calculations, identify which investments, if any, should be excluded?
