Who is a head of an international organization?The head of an international organization is a person who is either: the head of an international organization established by the governments of states; or•

When we refer to the head of an international organization or the head of an institution established by an international organization we are referring to the primary person who leads that organization, for example a president or CEO. Once a person is no longer the head of an international organization or the head of an institution established by an international organization, that person is no longer a HIO.

TIME HORIZON: Indicate the period from now to when you will need to access a significant portion of the money you invest in this account. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES: Safety: Your objective is to preserve your principal investment and are less concerned with capital appreciation. Investors seeking safety of principle should be invested in securities that provide a guaranteed investment/par value at maturity such as cash, GICs, and money market and government debt instruments. Income: Your objective is to generate current income from your investments and you are less concerned with capital appreciation. Investments that will satisfy this objective include fixed income investments such as funds that invest in bond or money market instruments. Balanced: Your objective is a combination of income and growth. An account with a balanced objective should typically include at least 40% in fixed income investments and no more than 60% in equity mutual funds. Growth: Your objective is capital appreciation and current income from investments is not a requirement. This may lead you to hold a relatively high proportion of funds that invest in equities if you also have a higher risk tolerance and long term time horizon. Aggressive Growth: Your objective is capital appreciation and current income from investments is not a requirement. This may lead you to hold a relatively high proportion of funds that invest in specific market sectors like Energy, Technology, Resource funds, etc. that are typically much more volatile and the price of which can fluctuate significantly over short time frames. Typically this type of investment requires a high tolerance for risk and a long term investment time horizon.
