Based on your answers, you’re a Cautious investor.
As a ‘Cautious’ or lower risk investor, your portfolio will be invested primarily in defensive areas such as cash and fixed interest securities, with only a modest exposure to shares. This approach concentrates on security rather than maximising return and should limit the chances of substantial short-term volatility. And it’s good to know your feelings about ethical investing.There’s a lot more to it, of course. Before we advise on which investments are suitable for you, we’ll ask you to complete a more detailed questionnaire and ask a lot more about your reasons for investing and the potential effects of falls in the value of anything we recommend. We’ll tell you more about this during our initial consultation.
