ATTITUDE TO RISK

All investments carry some risk; you may get back less than you invest.. When working out your willingness to take the risk, consider your goals. How long term are they? How vital is it that this money is available on a determined date?

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”dark” text_orientation=”center” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” text_text_color=”#ffffff” max_width=”100%” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet”]

Some classes of investment are more volatile than others. This volatility – a measure of how the price of the asset is likely to fluctuate both upward and downward – is often used as a way of measuring risk.

Our attitude to risk tool helps you understand the level of risk you’re prepared to take for the returns you hope to achieve. Depending on your responses, we will then give you one of 5 risk profiles.

As the tool can’t take into account your individual circumstances or preferences we suggest once you recieve our feedback you check the description to ensure it’s right for you as you may feel that in a particular circumstance you want to take more or less risk. Look at the other risk profile descriptions, especially those immediately above and below, and consider whether these may suit you better.

We encourage you to revisit the tool from time to time – at least once a year – to monitor the progress of your savings and ensure you’re on track to achieve your objectives.

Risk Profile descriptions

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Cautious” open=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

Cautious Investors tend to regard themselves as cautious people and view risk negatively rather than as a source of opportunity. They typically have little or no experience of investment and do not find investment matters easy to understand. They can take a long time to make investment decisions and tend to be anxious about any investment decisions they have made. They typically look for safer investments rather than seeking higher returns. They are not comfortable about investing in the stock market and typically prefer bank deposits to riskier investments.

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Moderately Cautious ” open=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

Moderately Cautious Investors tend to regard themselves as quite cautious people and are inclined to view risk negatively rather than as a source of opportunity. They typically have limited experience of investment and do not find investment matters particularly easy to understand. They can take a fairly long time to make investment decisions and can be somewhat anxious about investment decisions they have made. They are inclined to look for safer investments rather than seeking higher returns. They are not particularly comfortable about investing in the stock market and tend to prefer bank deposits to riskier investments. They may be willing to take some risk, once the relationship between risk and higher returns has been explained to them.

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Balanced ” open=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

Balanced Investors do not particularly regard themselves as cautious people and have no strong positive or negative associations with the notion of taking risk. They will typically have some experience of investment and a degree of understanding of investment matters. They will usually make investment decisions reasonably quickly and don’t tend to be particularly anxious about investment decisions they have made. They can be inclined to look for safer investments rather than higher returns, but understand that investment risk may be required to meet their investment goals. While they will take investment risk, they are still not particularly comfortable with investing in the stock market and get more comfort from bank deposits than riskier investments.

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Moderately Adventurous ” open=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

Moderately Adventurous Investors do not typically regard themselves as cautious people and are inclined to view risk as a source of opportunity rather than as a threat. They generally have significant experience of investment and find investment matters fairly easy to understand. They tend to make investment decisions relatively quickly and are not usually particularly anxious about the investment decisions they have made. They typically look for higher returns rather than safer investments. They are reasonably comfortable about investing in the stock market and typically prefer riskier, but higher returning, investments to keeping money in bank deposits.

What is Asset Allocation

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

Asset allocation is an investment strategy that aims to balance risk and reward by apportioning a portfolio’s assets according to an individual’s goals, risk tolerance and investment horizon.

Different types of investment are seen as having different risk profiles. Generally, equities (shares) are seen as more volatile than most bonds, for example, while government bonds (because they are backed by countries rather than companies), are generally considered safer than corporate bonds where the companies that issue them are more likely to become insolvent and unable to repay the debt . A mix of asset classes is one way to try to mitigate risk, while ensuring that your portfolio is well diversified in terms of global exposure and cyclical and defensive stocks should also help.
