As per the case study of Jenny and Jerry, it can be seen that the couple have major concern to keep pace with inflation. Their desire for tax effectiveness is high. Their slight concern is about the cash access and short-term Volatility Regarding Investment. In addition, the couple is concerned about the investment management and the growth of their investment. As per the analysis of the case study, it can be understood that short-term investment and return is not the matter of concern for them, but their concern is regarding the long-term investment, as their financial aim is to secure their life after the retirement. Their wish of capital growth from the investment and the absence of anxiousness for any capital loss make their profile of risk to be a growth profile of risk. In this kind of investment, they want to invest their money in the growth investment and not in the risk free investment.

As per the case study of Jenny and Jerry and the prepared financial statement, the couple has allocated their properties in the kind of assets that amounts to 55.46%. Their investment proportions in the fixed interest and cash are 24.04% and 6.14% respectively. The couple also have invested in Australian share and International share on the proportions of 11.595 and 2.76% respectively. According to their allocation strategy, it can be observed that 69.81% of the assets are being invested in the growth market of investment and the rest amount of the money have been invested in the defensive market. It indicates the growth risk profile characteristics of the couple. Regarding to the above question, it can be said that there is a consistency between their asset allocation and risk profile. In this regard, it is crucial for the couple to reduce the investment proportion from properties and invest them in the equity shares in order to get higher return.
As per the evaluation of the financial status of the couple, it can be seen that the return from the cash flow of the company has been massively low. Due to this result, the desired standard of living of the couple shall not be achieved. This is a major obstacle of the couple, as now they need to cut off some of their expenses in order to manage their income.
Another discovered issue in this regard is their poor investment related to their allocation of assets. As per the provided details, the couple has invested a large proportion of their money in the properties; this is not an optimal investment decision as the return from the properties is low. In addition, it has been seen that they have invested a huge amount of money in a single portfolio; due to this, they can face a huge amount of money lost in case of any loss. It is a fact that the couple has a growth risk portfolio and they want to get higher return after their retirement by increasing the amount of investment. Hence, it is utmost important for the couple to change allocation of assets; and they need to decrease the amount of investment in properties and invest the money to the Australian or International shares.

There are ways by which the firm can diminish the weaknesses and problems faced by them. Four possible strategies can be adopted to eradicate the problems. They are discussed below:
It can be seen that the adoption of these above-discusses financial strategies will ne influential to improve the financial condition of the couple.
It can be seen that the couple has an idea to buy a investment property to increase their asset base. In the current situation, the buying decision of the investment property is not an optimal decision as they have already invested 55.46% of their income in the properties. As per the recommendation, the couple should not buy the investment property, as the properties do not yield higher return as the aim of the couple is to get higher return after the life of the retirement. Additional investment in the property will lead to negative gearing. The losses from the properties lead to negative yield as it is subject to tax deduction. Hence, the couple will lose their money. Hence, the decision to buy the new property is not optimal.
In the process of the buying of the new property, it can be seen that 20% will be come from the term deposit and the rest will be come from the bank. The total value of the property is $650,000; hence, 80% of the total amount that is $520,000 need to be taken from the bank. As per the information, the couple has existing bank loan for car and house. After the evaluation of the financial position of the couple, it can be seen that the level of cash of them is low and even after the tax benefits, the amount will not be sufficient to repay the loan. With the increase in the loan amount, the cash amount of the couple will be decreased. Hence, they will not be able to repay the loan.
