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 (+0,04%) alternative an ACWI
or
b) 50% $VUSA (+0,22%) or MSCI USA
35-40% $WEXU (+0,18%) ( MSCI World ex USA)
10-15% $VFEM (-0,51%) or $EIMI (-0,5%)
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 (+0,17%) or $WEXU (+0,18%) but this is only available on an accumulating basis
50% $JEPQ (+0,67%)
What do the professionals among you say? Has anyone tackled a similar situation? What are your ideas and suggestions?
