medium · Certified Financial Planner General Principles

The Takeda household consists of a client who has just inherited $2,000,000 and wants to invest it immediately. The client has no emergency fund and significant high-interest credit card debt.

Which action by the planner follows the established hierarchy?

  1. Develop a diversified portfolio recommendation for the $2,000,000 to maximize potential returns while interest rates are high.
  2. Ask the client for their risk tolerance profile to determine the appropriate asset allocation for the windfall.
  3. Suggest a split strategy: invest $1,500,000 and use the remainder for debt and the emergency fund.
  4. Recommend establishing an emergency fund and paying off the debt before discussing investment options.
