Are you willing to consider a trade-off?
I am here to help you achieve your goals and objectives if possible and whilst I can help you to understand
how you may be able to maximise your current investments, there may still be a gap between where you
want to be and what your attitude to risk allows you to achieve. Think about how comfortable you feel with
the level of risk you are willing to take across all your investment assets. Whilst you may be comfortable with
this, you may not be able to meet you financial or lifestyle objectives.
Let’s say that you are a “cautious” investor, so you don’t want to take big risks. If you have a short timeframe
in which to grow your assets, you may not be able to achieve your desired goals and objectives and need to
reconsider your options. This may mean a trade-off where you might consider investing a little bit more
aggressively or reconsider your goals and objectives. This will give you a greater chance of achieving them.
I can help you understand your options so that you choose what is right for you. Please choose which of the
options below you would be willing to consider if it is unlikely that you will achieve your goals and objectives.
If it is unlikely that you will be able to meet your goals, which option would

Appendix 2 - Investor risk profile summary
Your attitude to investment risk is a crucial factor in determining an appropriate investment strategy to meet
your needs. Investing is considered risky because there is uncertainty about how the investment will perform
over the short and long term. Different types of investments experience different levels of volatility. Negative
returns can happen at any time, so during periods of poor performance, remaining invested for the minimum
investment term will provide an opportunity for your portfolio to recover.
Here are the main approaches to investing, otherwise known as investment risk profiles.
