Risk Profile Questionnaire


How to complete this questionnaire.

There are no incorrect answers. Simply tick the box next to the most appropriate answer for you.

Couples: It is best to answer the questions on an individual basis as risk tolerance and understanding of financial markets can vary between individuals. However, you can choose to complete the questionnaire together. If you find your answers differ, please submit the questionnaire separately as there is an opportunity once submitted to submit a new set of responses with a new participant.

The below questions will be used to determine appropriate investments for your portfolio. It is critical that this reflects your actual attitude towards investment risk. Choose one answer on each question, if in doubt choose best answer that is closest to your opinion.

It measures two key factors:

1. Your time horizon - When will you begin withdrawing money from your account and at what rate?
If it is many years away, there may be more time to weather the markets inevitable ups and downs and you may be comfortable with a portfolio that has a greater potential for appreciation and a higher level of risk.

2. Your risk tolerance - How do you feel about risk? Some investments fluctuate more dramatically in value than others but may have the potential for higher returns.

It is important to select investments that fit within your level of tolerance for this risk.

Your adviser will discuss your responses and how they apply to your portfolio when we meet with
you.
