Romeo avoided crash with company direction and great investment (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

cash cow

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

'investment' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Lucrative investment ' mean 'cash cow' so perhaps 'investment' could also mean 'cash cow')

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cash cow that I've seen before include "Money-spinning business" , "Lucrative activity" , "Steady income provider" , "troublefree business?" , "Business making large profits" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
