What Type of Investor are You?

Are you conservative, preferring little risk in your investments? Or do you like to be aggressive, willing to risk capital, in exchange for a higher return? Maybe your comfort level is somewhere in-between. But where? At what level of risk are you comfortable investing?

The problem is, your image of what kind of investor you are may not be accurate. One person’s moderate approach to investing may be seen as aggressive to another. So how do you accurately measure your tolerance for risk against desire for high returns? The Investor Profile Questionnaire will give you a personalized risk score.

Here is How it Works

Every Investor is an Individual

Find a suitable investment strategy

Your investing strategy should reflect the kind of investor you are—your personal investor profile. This quiz will help youdetermine your profile and then match it to an investment strategy that’s designed for investors like you. The quiz measures two key factors:

YOUR TIME HORIZON

When will you begin withdrawing money from your account and at what rate? If it’s many years away, there may be more time to weather the market’s 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.

YOUR RISK TOLERANCE

How do you feel about risk? Some investments fluctuate more dramatically in value than others but may have thepotential for higher returns. It’s important to select investments that fit within your level of tolerance for this risk.
