had just come out with a new investment product called MultiCash.
Investment to Multicash is not risk free for the customer. Now it
depends on Alex to talk about the risk factors to him/her ,or to only
think about the bankbenefits.
Alex: Decision to one aged customer who cant afford lose:-
Alex thought things over and quickly made a choice. He told Mr.
Jha– “Sir, MultiCash indeed has some risks, but the returns are also very
good. I don’t advise you to invest a lot of money in it. In my opinion, you
can invest a small sum and get a very good return on it. Then, even in
the unlikely event of a loss, you will lose very little money”.
