Question:
You have a financial planning client who has an assembled balance sheet represented in the graphic below. The client’s home is the primary asset and the corresponding mortgage the primary liability. The client has a positive net worth. Financial assets total $11,980. The stock mutual fund (FBGRX), shares of Microsoft and the stock ETF (VOO) have a value of $5,500. Your client has just gone through a risk profile exercise in which the financial asset recommendation is to be 70% in equities, 8% in bonds and 22% in cash. Whether it is a new stock-based investment or an additional investment in one of the three existing stock investments, what total amount of investment is required in equities to rebalance your client’s financial asset portfolio?
