2. Determining Your Risk Profile
This questionnaire will help us to understand what type of investor you are and will enable us to recommend a personal asset allocation
tailored to your needs. Please complete these questions below by choosing an answer which most closely describes you.
When you drive your car, you basically want to get from A to B. Different people will choose different routes, different vehicles in which to
travel and will have different time frames. You can drive faster if you want, but the faster you go, the riskier it gets. Investing is the same. Some
people like to go fast and feel the thrill of short term profit making, other people are more conservative, preferring safe, reliable returns.
