Question

A registered representative (RR) recommends an AAA-rated municipal general obligation bond for the investment account of one of his clients. The client profile shows the customer is 25 years old, is in a low-income tax bracket, and has an aggressive long-term growth objective. This recommendation is

Answer 1

not good and inappropriate for this type of client.

Step-by-step explanation:

AAA-rated municipal bonds generally yield very low interest rates and if this client is very young (only 25 years old), doesn't have a lot of money, and has an aggressive growth objective, he/she should invest in more riskier securities that can possibly yield higher returns, e.g. stock market. This client needs higher returns, and investing in low risk and low return securities will not be suitable for him/her. This type of investment is best for retired people that actually have accumulated a large capital.
