Yr 11 economics HELP. 'Planning a share portfolio'. Good Q. for stock brokers. Any help appreciated?

Question

Hi there

For our yr 11 econ's assignment we have to create a share market portfolio and then apply this to a fake client.

I am not asking for anyone to do this for me and i am not expecting that, but i was wondering if someone could provide me with some information like about shares and investments and debentures etc.

Could you please also try and explain what is the best way of investment, for example who should aim for protection of savings, aim for high income etc. like what would make best overall returns.

some examples of fake clients are: 1. A sixteen year old high school student has inherited $80,000 from their grandparent's estate. 2. A father of four who has just won $100,000 in the lottery. 3. a retiree is living off their superannuation fund.

So overall could someone include info on how to set up a share portfolio, what needs to be included, discussion of an investment stratergy.

Thankyou and your answers are very much aprreciated.
