Determine Your Investment Profile
Time Horizon, Investment Objectives and Risk Tolerance
Making investment decisions is never easy, whether you are an experienced investor or someone just starting out. Your investment
strategy requires that you make decisions about how your assets will be invested. A significant amount of your retirement income and
security may depend on the savings you accumulate outside your retirement plan. The following questionnaire is provided to assist you
in determining your “investment profile”. You may use it as a tool for deciding how much return you desire and how much risk you are
willing to take to achieve the return and growth of savings.
