Your Risk Profile - Risk Versus Reward

What Our Customers Say

Jan Van Leeuwen, Director with IQ Digital Signage Ltd. Life Goals have provided us with excellent advice and service. I would recommend them unconditionally

Ger O Byrne, Product Manager, An Post We have dealt with Life Goals for a number of years and during that time have received advice on a multitude of Pension & Investment options. In that time, we have always received good solid advice. We have full confidence in our Consultant's opinion and product knowledge whenever we are looking for Life Assurance or Investment advice. If we are interested in specific products, our Consultant researches many options and provide a detailed comparison of each, explaining the pros & cons. He meets us at our convenience and we prefer the personal touch rather than dealing directly with larger companies. I would highly recommend the services & advice provided by Life Goals.

Nicky and Wayne McDonnell July 2102 I would just like to thank Life Goals for preparing us and arranging our life assurance, after some awful dealings with a previous company who had failed to complete our requests as instructed, we were therefore not feeling encourage by the industry. Life Goals changed this and I am thankful to them for ensuring our childrens security should the need ever arise. Everything was explained and being truly independent we felt no pressure to choose a certain product provider. I would fully recommend Life Goals to anyone as they have provided an excellent service to me and my family and we will certainly be dealing with Life Goals again in the future. Kind regards

Billy Griffin, Director - Artisan Image Solutions Ltd. Life Goals have worked extremely hard to organise a pension backed mortgage for me and secured finance that I don't believe I would have secured elsewhere. They are trustworthy, honest and of the highest integrity. I would highly recommend Life Goals to any prospective client. October, 2009

Having such a policy in place was of great benefit in my recovery.
 
I would definitely recommend Life Goals to my family & friends. Their Consultants are personable, understanding and hardworking.

Before you invest or save, it would be wise to invest some quality time in understanding your saving and investment risk profile


Investing is not gambling. There are excellent safeguards and guarantees to protect money and at the same time deliver a positive return.

 

Make the right moves and enjoy watching your savings and investments grow.  

 

We take risk profiling very seriously for example

  • We make sure we are correct on product suitability, eligibility and affordability
     
  • Our recommendations  are always appropiate
     

Listed below are the nine questions that we would ask you to build a risk profile in order to give you our best advice

 

 

1.  Risk Rate Yourself?
 

Are you a No, Low, Medium or High Risk? 

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being low how would you rate yourself? 

Do you know the products that match your risk rating?

 

2. Your Risk Profile?
 

Are you cautious, balanced or adventurous? 


How would you answer the following question


Losing money on an investment would make me nervous

  1.  Disagree strongly?

  2.  Disagree?

  3.  Neither agree nor disagree?

  4. Agree or agree strongly?

 

3. Your Age & Risk?
 

If you are older;

  • You may be less inclined to accept any risk
     
  • Need capital security
     
  • Access to capital
     
  • Want to avoid penalties for early encashment
     
  • Keep charges to a minimum
     

4. Your Gender & Risk?


Females tend to be more risk averse than males.

 

Very important point to cover if you are a female planning an investment on your own or with a spouse / partner

 

5. Your Current Investment Portfolio & Risk?


How and when were these investments set up?


Distinguish between what you may have inherited and what you have acquired from say, company shares or gifts

6. Past Investment Experience & Risk?
 

Maybe you don’t have any experience or because you are older or it may be that your previous investment strategy is no longer suitable. 

Understanding these will help with understanding your attitude to risk.

 

7. Your Risk Capacity?
 

Assessment to be based on current finacial situation
 

For example:  current income, available assets that are free to invest; actual income requirements, current age/ health and your investment objectives

 

8. Investment Time Available & Risk?
 

How are you planning to use the investment in the future?


For example, is it to fund a deposit on a house in 5 years; is it to pay for college education in 15 years; is it an emergency fund; a gift to your children in the future? 


These answers will have an impact on the level of risk that you may find acceptable or is recommended

 

9.  Investment Portfolio 

It is unusual to find that just one saving and investment can meet many needs. 
 

For a number of financial objectives a number of investment products may be required. 
 

This would create a portfolio of investments and these would normally mature at different times - we set up and manages these for many of our clients
