Key Points
- The statement is regarding the financial goals of a person and also the way in which you should handle your finances based on your goals in life.
- It is regarding aligning your investments with your goals.
- 'Short-term goals' require fixed income products whereas 'long-term goals' can be fulfilled with market-related products.
- So in order to stress the presence of 'fixed income' we use 'need' before the term 'fixed income'.
- Following the above, while talking about a particular amount being returned due to the earlier 'fixed income', we use the term 'provide' with the word return.
- If we replace 1 and 4, the sentence will become meaningful.
- No other replacement is required in the sentence to make it meaningful.
Correct sentence: If you have a short-term goal, then you need a fixed-income product, not a market-linked product; to provide return predictability.✔️
