Investment plan for a 65-year-old

First, define the objective
It is important to chalk out what she intends to derive from this investment.

  • Is she looking for a regular income to meet her expenses?
  • Does she want to invest for wealth creation with some occasional withdrawals, if need be? Or
  • Does she want to invest to accumulate a larger corpus for her heirs?
