ATTITUDE TO RISK

Please indicate which of the following descriptions can best be used to define your attitude to risk.

Self Spouse/Partner

Minimal Risk: Predictable capital returns, but not

guaranteed to give protection against inflation

(unless index-linked). q q

Low Risk: Designed to give conservative but

relatively stable level of growth and/or income

although extreme circumstances may affect these

objectives. Most capital placed in secure investments

in the knowledge that this limits the potential for

capital growth or loss in capital and/or income. q q

Moderate Risk: A significant proportion of capital

is placed in investments which have the potential

for growth and/or income growth. The underlying

assets of these investments are widely spread and

their values may fall as well as rise especially in the

short term. q q

High Risk: A substantial proportion of capital is

placed in investments with the aim of maximising

the potential for higher growth and/or income,

although this involves taking a greater degree of

risk. These investments are highly volatile and

will be mainly held in asset backed investments

where values may fall as well as rise. q q

 

YOUR OBJECTIVES

In considering your objectives below, it is advisable to estimate the term over which you would like them to be achieved. The following indications may help you in this.

S = Short Term - up to 5 years

M = Medium Term - 5-10 years

L = Long Term - over 10 years

Please indicate in each of the sections below those areas where you require advice showing your order of priority (eg 1, 2, 3 etc) risk attitude and your preferred investment term.
