23. Risk Tolerance Quiz Purpose: The Investor Profile Quiz is designed to help you gain an in-depth understanding of your investment objective, which serves as the foundation of your portfolio. Your investment objective is based on many factors, including your time horizon, financial goals and risk tolerance. To build your portfolio, you must clearly define your financial goals. Short-term goals may include buying a house or financing a dream vacation. Long-term goals may include saving for your child’s education or planning for your retirement. Your time horizon defines when you want to achieve a goal. It could be 1-5 years, 5-10 years, 15 years, 30 years or more. Risk is an unavoidable part of investing. Historically, investments with higher return potential have required a higher tolerance for risk. Therefore, by clearly defining your risk tolerance, we will be better prepared to choose the most appropriate investments for your portfolio. Over time, your goals and financial situation may change. It’s important for us to discuss any changes, as your original investment objective may need to be re-evaluated. Back
