B. The portion of the funding that should be maintained in readily accessible funds such as money market instruments
C. The customer's preference for investing via passively managed index mutual funds or via actively managed mutual funds
D. The investment philosophy and strategies employed by the fund manager of the chosen mutual fund
Answer:
The best answer is D
" The investment philosophy and strategies employed by the fund manager of the chosen mutual fund "
Explanation:
Since this person is rich and potentially in a high taxation role, the allocation of part of the assets in tax free municipal investments should be taken into consideration.
An emergency fund should always be maintained, so consideration should be given to the amount of funding allocated to money market fund investments. It should also be considered whether the customer believes in the management of passive assets or active assets.
Passive asset managers believe in the use of low-cost index funds -with the idea that nobody can do better than the market over time. Active asset managers believe that the correct "picking" of stocks enables a manager to surpass the market. The actual trading strategies employed by an active manager to achieve his results are not relevant to the portfolio construction.
