[Brand]

Since there are quite a few high nett-worth individuals frequenting Avcom - here is a questions to those who feel equipped to comment:

If you knew somebody who had, let's say R5 000 000 in cash handy, what would your best advice be on how to invest such a sum to maximize return on investment these days?

What duration will the investment be? What is their risk appetite? Tax implications? Do they require ready access to the funds at short notice? What is their investment strategy and financial wellbeing?

Is it in SA and does it have to stay in SA? Taxes all in order?

Firstly I would hide it

Whisky is only a good investment if you want to keep your cash liquid..

Brand, you didn't say whether or not you want to keep the funds liquid, or over what period you want a return.
Right now I would open an evangelical church - tax free, all the rage, makes good money for one day out the week

Sure. I receive many emails from North Africa, that for a small admin fee, will give me a big share of stuck US dollar funds.
Happy to pass them on, no commission required.

Medium term, medium risk, tax implications hopefully as little as possible, annual dividends good enough, no investment strategy yet (that is why I am fishing here).

Now that is what you call sufficient ROI...

Indeed - there are lots of obvious questions. And calculating ROI if one has those answers available is relatively easy. I am more interested in markets one can target, property perspective, business opportunities (like Hugo has mentioned), off-shore channels, keeping it under your bed, leaving it in Saambou, etc.
