Investor Risk Profile Your attitude to risk is probably the most important factor to consider before investing. To achieve higher returns, you will have to be prepared to accept a higher risk of capital loss. This is because the funds and assets that offer high returns are generally more volatile than those producing lower returns. It is what we call ‘risk/return trade off’.
We will recommend investment strategies to match your investments to your risk profile. Investing across the various investment sectors according to your risk profile is called diversification. For example, instead of investing only in property, or only in shares, you might invest a proportion in both, or even include cash or fixed interest to create a balanced portfolio.
This workbook will help us to understand what type of Investor you can afford to be and will enable us to recommend a personal asset allocation tailored to your needs. Please complete questions below by circling the answer that most closely describes you for each question.

Total Investor Profile Score
Page 19 of 27
Investor Profile Total PointsCautious: You are a conservative investor. Risk must be very low and you are prepared to accept lower return terms to protect capital. The negative effects of tax and inflation will not concern you, provided your capital is protected.
0 - 100
Judicious: You are a cautious investor seeking better than basic returns, but risk must be low. Typically an older investor seeking to protect the wealth that you have accumulated, you may be prepared to consider less aggressive growth investments.
101 - 180
Prudent: You are a prudent investor who wants a balanced portfolio to work towards medium to long term financial goals. You require an investment strategy that will cope with the effects of tax and inflation. Calculated risks will be acceptable to you to achieve good returns.
181 - 260
Assertive: You are an assertive investor, probably earning sufficient income to invest most funds for capital growth. Prepared to accept higher volatility and moderate risks, your primary concern is to accumulate assets over the medium to long term. You require a balanced portfolio, but more aggressive elements may be included.
261 - 350
Aggressive: You are an aggressive investor prepared to compromise portfolio balance to pursue potentially greater long term returns. Your investment choices are diverse, but carry with them a higher level of risk. Security of capital is secondary to the potential for wealth accumulation.
