Why
Take Unnecessary Risk with your Investments?
Author:

In
the current investment environment good returns have been hard to come by.
Those who took on too much risk when times were good are finding out all
about the downside of investing during the current bear market. Can you relate
to this?
It is important to invest at an appropriate level of risk, regardless of
current market conditions. For example, in a bull market, you don't want
to shift all your investments into skyrocketing stocks and mutual funds.
Why? Because, in the bear market that will inevitably follow, your investments
could fall as fast as they appreciated. Your investments should be determined
by the amount of risk you are prepared to take, not by how high a return
you'd like to have. Find out if your investment's risk is aligned with your
financial situation and objectives.
How can you do this?
You can conveniently do so by visiting the Investment section of our website
(see website address below) and you'll see our home page. Under the heading
Investment, click on "Are you an Efficient Investor?" and proceed
through the brief questionnaire.
You can determine your risk profile by answering a few questions about your
financial situation, investment knowledge and objectives. You can also do
an analysis of your current investments to see if you are an Efficient Investor,
by clicking on Portfolio Assessment.
It is important that the information you enter be safe, secure and confidential.
