Anyone with ideas on how to make the most money from an investment of 30 million in bills or bonds without risking any of it as i have to use it for an agreed payment in a year so might as well squeeze whatever i can from it?
Running up to an election in 9 months or so..? you know what happens ....investments starting running south due to all the market uncertainty ...this can blow up in your face very spectacularly ...dont play with your client's funds, slippery path.

take up the 5 year bond on offer And if interest rates reverse the downward trend in the coming days, s/he will be locked for more than a yr or suffer losses. Anyway, the risk is lesser than in stocks

Am wondering, how will cbk deal with the too much money that will be circulating this election year. It could certainly mess things up. Your note 2 is on point.

I agree with anyone who said you buy the 5 year bond with the interest rates dropping you can make upto 100 basis point gain on the sale of the bond on the secondary market but 30 million in itself is somehow of an odd lot but most definetly you will get a buyer the problem is what price to bid for the bond coz if am not wrong the outcome will be market determined...my advice dont even think of doing stocks. possunt quia posse videntur

where did you get 30million if you don't know where to keep it? Return to whoever gave you and tell them to give it to you in one year!
