Ask an Adviser

How do I work out my risk profile?

Your investment risk profile will depend on your personal circumstances and will need to encompass the following:

  • Your financial objectives
  • Your investment time frame
  • Your appetite for risk

Most industry superannuation funds offer education seminars and provide a range of information and calculators on their website. Some industry fund websites also include a ‘risk profiling’ questionnaire which can help determine what profile may be appropriate for you.

A Financial Planner, before undertaking any investment recommendations, will work with you to ascertain an appropriate risk profile so they can then recommend suitable investment strategies and products.
