Risk willingness
How comfortable are you with uncertainty and temporary declines when markets become uncomfortable?
Take the amount of risk your life can support.
A useful risk profile considers how you feel during market falls, how much loss your finances can absorb and how much growth your goals actually require.
Risk is personal: temperament, financial capacity and goal requirements all matter.
A balanced view
Your risk score should reflect more than a quiz.
We look at three distinct dimensions before discussing an asset allocation.
Risk capacity
Can your cash flow, emergency reserve, dependants and time horizon absorb a poor market period?
Risk requirement
What return does the goal require—and can the contribution or timeline change instead of taking more risk?
How it works
A conversation before an allocation.
The output is a range to discuss, not a permanent personality label.
1
Answer scenario-based questions
Consider realistic market falls, income changes and decisions—not abstract adjectives.
2
Map financial capacity
Review liquidity, debt, protection, goal horizons and dependence on the portfolio.
3
Resolve the mismatches
If willingness and capacity differ, adjust the plan, contribution or expectations before the allocation.
4
Review after life changes
Revisit the profile after a major goal, job change, inheritance, retirement or prolonged market experience.
