QUESTION 01
Sipho is planning to buy a motor vehicle for his daughter, Mary. Sipho decides to take R
120 000 out of his current bank account and invest this money on a short-term basis so
that he can earn interest on this money at a good rate and use this money and interest
towards the payment of the motor vehicle. Sipho subsequently approaches Fast Money
(Pty) Ltd, a company that provides financial advice to customers. Sipho discusses the
matter with Michael, the manager, and explains the reason why he wants to make this
investment. Sipho then instructs Michael to invest the money on his behalf so as to
ensure that he gets a good interest rate but also to ensure that his capital amount is
protected. Michael subsequently invests the money in an offshore investment. Ten
months later, Sipho decides to redeem his investment as he has now found the
perfect car for his daughter. However, when the investment is redeemed, Sipho
discovers that the capital amount has depreciated to R 100 000 (i.e. R 20 000 of the
capital sum has been lost).
