Your Risk Profile - Milford Asset

Your risk profile

Establishing your appetite for potential risk and return is an essential step before you invest any money. Without this information, you might find yourself exposed to more risk than you’d like, or may find it hard to generate the returns you want within your investment timeframe. The following questions will help you build a picture of what your risk profile looks like. Remember, these questions are a guide only and are not intended to act as a replacement for financial advice or an investment plan.

This process is called diversification and you can read more about it here.
