Manages investments (5)

I believe the answer is:

copes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'manages' is the first definition.
('cope' can be a synonym of 'manage')

'investments' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for copes that I've seen before include "Manages successfully, gets by" , "'Manages, gets by (5)'" , "Somehow manages" , "Manages; church vestments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
