  • {{investment_options}}: The specific asset classes or investments to consider (e.g., government bonds, stocks, REITs, startup).
  • {{time_horizon}}: The expected investment period.
  • {{constraints}}: Any other relevant constraints (e.g., liquidity needs, ethical preferences).

  2. For each investment option, outline the potential risks and rewards, considering the client's profile.
