Investment Risk Profiler Questionnaire

Personal Investment Risk Profiler

Kenver - Risk ProfilingBefore completing this form your financial adviser should already have completed a full fact find:

By now your financial advisor should have already completed a full fact find and, having established your needs and objectives, made a recommendation for a suitable product from the Kenver range. To enable your adviser to fine-tune your attitude to risk for this particular investment, please complete this questionnaire, ensuring all questions are answered and that they are in relation to this particular investment only.

The resultant risk score will vary from one to ten, with one being the least risky and ten the most risky. A risk score of one will result in a suggested portfolio consisting mostly of cash, with ten resulting in a portfolio heavily weighted in equities. Intermediate scores will result in a broader spread of asset classes. Your adviser will explain the relationship between these risk scores and your investment.

The Kenver risk assessment is simply a guide based on information provided and does not take into account your full personal circumstances.

The decision to invest – be it in accordance with your risk assessment score, more conservatively or more aggressively – is always at your discretion.

Section 2: Risk Profile Questions

When do you need this money or how long do you want to hold on to this investment?
(Enter a number of years from 3 to 30. This time period is very important in the risk assessment process)
 
     
Do you have an emergency fund to provide for unexpected expenses, so as to avoid drawing on medium to long term savings to meet immediate needs? (This fund should be equal to at least three months' after-tax income)
 
  No    
  Yes - but very small    
  Less than six months salary    
  Around one years salary
  More than two years salary
   

What is your expectation of your future earnings over the next five years?
 
  I expect my earnings to decrease
  I expect my earnings to keep pace with inflation
  I expect my earnings to increase somewhat ahead of inflation
  I expect my earnings to far outstrip inflation
  I expect my earnings to fluctuate

What percentage of your total assets (excluding your home) are you proposing to invest now?
 
  Less than 25%  
  25% to less than 50%  
  50% to less than 75%  
  75% and over  

Which statement most closely reflects your current financial situation?
 
 

I am completely debt free

  I am mortgage free but have a few other obligations
  I have a reasonable mortgage but no other debts
  I have a mortgage and a few other obligations
  I have a lot of obligations
Which statement best describes your objectives for this investment?
 
 
I am risk averse and not prepared to expose my investments to high volatility to earn higher long term returns. Stable annual returns are desired
 
I want to achieve higher long term returns and am prepared to tolerate reasonable levels of volatility
 
I want to maximise my long term returns and spend little time worrying about short term market movements

At the beginning of the year you have £100,000 invested. The chart and options below show the performance of five different hypothetical investments. Each bar gives a range of possible values at the end of the same year. Which investment are you most happy with? Potential, best and worst case end values:
 
Portfolio A Portfolio B Portfolio C Portfolio D Portfolio E
  Portfolio A Portfolio B Portfolio C Portfolio D Portfolio E
  (This chart is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the performance of a specific index or fund)
     
  Portfolio A: £114,000 to £96,000
Portfolio B: £124,000 to £90,000
Portfolio C: £131,000 to £84,000
Portfolio D: £138,000 to £78,000
Portfolio E: £144,000 to £72,000
 

What level of fall in the value of this portfolio over a one-year period would concern you, bearing in mind that equity investment requires a long term view?
 
  0% to just under 5%  
  5% to just under 10%  
  10% to just under 15%  
  15% to just under 20%  
  None of the above concerns me  

Suppose one year ago you invested £100,000 portfolio. The market value has gone down during the period and your investment is worth £87,000. Would you:
 
  Sell the portfolio and invest the proceeds in a less volatile investment?
  Sell part of the portfolio and invest the proceeds in a less volatile investment?
  Sit tight expecting the portfolio to recover?
  Sell the portfolio and invest the proceeds in something riskier to try and recoup your losses?
  Invest more money in the same portfolio?

You are more concerned that your investments grow faster than inflation than you are about returns over any one-year period.
 
  Strongly agree  
  Agree  
  Neutral  
  Disagree  
  Strongly disagree  

If you could increase your chances of improving your returns by taking more risk, would you be:
 
  willing to take a lot more risk with all of your money?
  willing to take a lot more risk with some of your money?
  willing to take a little more risk with all of your money?
  willing to take a little more risk with some of your money?
  unlikely to take much more risk?

After completing this form, please click the send button below (only once); the contents will then be forwarded to Kenver.

Your independent adviser will then compute a suggested risk score and asset allocation.

The risk score gives an indication of the level of risk you may be prepared to take with this investment on a range from 1 (low risk) to 10 (high risk). As mentioned earlier, the risk score is only a guide, and you can decide, with the help of your adviser, to invest more conservatively or more aggressively.
