Context you provide

  • {{fund_name}}: name or ticker of the fund or ETF

  • {{client_goal}}: what the client is saving for and the time horizon
  • {{risk_tolerance}}: client's comfort with loss and volatility
  • {{current_portfolio}}: existing holdings and allocation
  • {{fee_sensitivity}}: client's concern about costs

Instructions

  2. Read the provided fund documents and identify the objective, main holdings, strategy, fees, and risks.
  3. Explain in plain language what the fund does and how it makes or loses money.

  5. State clearly whether the fund fits the plan, and note any gaps or alternatives to consider.
