This questionnaire is designed to help you in identifying an investment approach that could generally suit you. The answers define your
capacity/ tolerance towards the level of risk you may accept on your investments. It attempts to measure your appetite to market volatility,
weigh the importance of your financial goals and uncover your personal investment preferences. It has two parts to identify/ evaluate your
1) Risk Capacity, and 2) Risk Tolerance.
Risk Capacity: It is the level of risk that the investor may take in order to achieve financial goals. It is largely dependent on the investor’s age,
profession, income and financial goals. For example, if you need a retirement corpus of around ₹50 lakhs after 10 years, with current savings
of ₹ 5 lakhs and monthly additions of ₹20,000, you will need a portfolio return of approximately 10% per year. This need comes with a certain
level of risk, which is your risk capacity. In other words, it is the amount of ‘risk you NEED to take to reach your financial objectives’.
3) If your current source of income were to stop today, for how long will your present savings support you?
c. 3 - 4 people other than myself 1 d. More than 4 people other than myself 0
6) Which of these objectives is the most important to you from an investment perspective?
Total your scores for question 1 to 6, to identify your investment risk capacity.
7) Which of the following best describes your understanding of the investment market?
a. An experienced investor, constantly keeps up to date with the investment market. Have exposure to various asset classes and
fully aware of the risks involved to gain high returns 3
b. Awareness of the financial market is limited to information passed on by broker or financial planner.
Rely on professionals to keep me updated 2
c. Little awareness of the investment market. However, want to build my knowledge and understanding 1
8) Given below is a listing of investment choices from least risky to most risky. Which is the riskiest option you have invested in?
a. Do not want to reduce it as investment risk leads to higher returns over the long-term. 3
b. To have a diversified investment portfolio across a range of asset classes to minimise risk. 2
10) Over a three-month period, an investment you owned lost 20% and the overall stock market lost 20%.
With the economic climate ambiguous, it could plummet further or bounce right back up, how would you react?
a. Sell all of my investments. (The preservation of capital is extremely important to me and I would rather not take the risk) 1
b. Sell some of the investment. (The climate is risky, and I would rather transfer my funds into more secure investments) 2
c. Do nothing with the investment. (This was a calculated risk, and I will leave the investments in place, expecting performance
to improve) 3
d. Buy more of the investment. (I am a long-term investor and consider this sudden market correction as an opportunity
to purchase additional shares at a lower cost basis) 4
11) An investment portfolio with high exposure to growth assets tends to generate higher returns, albeit with some volatility
(fluctuations in value). To what extent are you willing to experience shorter-term losses/ volatility to generate higher returns?
a. Very comfortable. I understand higher returns may come with risk or fluctuation in the short term. However, over the
long-term, there is a low risk of capital loss 3
a. Willing to take risks for higher return 3 b. Can take calculated risks 2
Total your scores for question 7 to 12, to identify your investment risk tolerance level.
Grand Total of Risk Capacity + Risk Tolerance (i.e. All the questions) Score: 0
Overall Risk Profile: __________________________
Note: More often than not, investors have a lower risk tolerance for their required risk capacity. You may want to evaluate your investment
objectives and constraints regularly and see them in alignment. We suggest that it should be done at least once in 3 years. In case, the risk
capacity is higher than the tolerance level, investors should try to build their comfort level by enhancing knowledge on the markets and
products. On the other hand, with a healthy tolerance for risk, a lower capacity suggests a moderate or low risk investment strategy.
