Risk Profiler

Answer the questions below to get a view on your risk and return expectations based on your views on risk and attitude to investments.

This form has been designed to assist you in ascertaining your tolerance to risk. By working through the questions with your relationship manager you will be able to determine your appetite for risk. This form should only be used as a tool to help you make the right investment choice. You may choose to ignore the questionnaire and select a portfolio based on your own opinion but you will be responsible for this choice and we cannot be held liable for suitability or appropriateness of the investments held in such a situation.

Investors may also find that they have different risk and return appetites for differing investment goals and where this could be the case it may be helpful to complete the questionnaire for each of your investment goals.
