Which of the following return objectives is most likely the primary objective given a 70 yearold widow who owns a portfolio comprised of 100% Treasury bonds?
A) Current income.
B) Capital preservation.
C) Capital appreciation.
the answer is B , but i guess the answer shoud be A
as capital preservation is an appropriate goal when funds will be needed in the near future , plus fixed income securities provide a fixed coupon , ie; current income to supplement sources of income to meet living expenses . thats what i understand , am i missing anything ?
