Mommy gets a deposit for Christmas.

Age: 60

Financial knowledge: zero

Interest in the topic: zero

Tax residency: Germany

Savings rate: 100 € per month

The custody account is to contain starting capital and savings plans and would probably be fed by me with €100 per month.

But how can I sensibly structure a custody account with such a short investment horizon? Because we already know that mommy will have a large pension gap and so far nothing has been done about it...

My original ideas were:

a) 100% $VWRL (-0,52 %) alternative an ACWI

or

b) 50% $VUSA (-0,15 %) or MSCI USA

35-40% $WEXU (-1,51 %) ( MSCI World ex USA)

10-15% $VFEM (-0,87 %) or $EIMI (-0,96 %)

But if you now think about the short investment horizon and the pension gap, perhaps something like the following would make more sense:

c) 50% $HMWO (-0,39 %) or $WEXU (-1,51 %) but this is only available on an accumulating basis

50% $JEPQ (-0,69 %)

What do the professionals among you say? Has anyone tackled a similar situation? What are your ideas and suggestions?
