INVESTMENT PROFILEDESCRIPTION
Investment Objective

Rank the investment objectives by entering a value between 1 and 5 in any of the boxes in this section. 1 is the highest.

For definition purposes:

  • Preservation of Capital: primarily seeks to preserve capital and avoid loss if investment. Secondarily seeks a minimum return through high quality fixed income investments.
  • Capital Appreciation (Growth): seeks capital appreciation through market price increases in investments. Dividend and interest returns may be important, but are not primary considerations.
  • Income: seeks regular and consistent returns on investment in the form of interest and dividend payments. Little consideration is given to capital appreciation.
  • Growth and Income: seeks a combination of both capital appreciation and return in the form of interest and return in the form of interest and dividend payments.
  • Speculation: seeks to maximize total return through a broad range of investment strategies which involve a high level of risk.
Risk Tolerance

Choose One.

For definition purposes:

  • Conservative: generally reflects an investor who has a low tolerance for risk. Preservation of capital is often a major consideration. Such an investor is willing to limit or forego capital appreciation opportunities or higher income returns in order to protect their investment capital. • Moderately Conservative:
  • Moderate: generally reflects an investor who has the financial resources and investment experience to accept a modest amount of risk in order to achieve capital appreciation or higher income returns. Such and investor can accept some loss of capital in seeking to meet his or her investment goal.
  • Moderately Aggressive:
  • Aggressive: generally reflects an investor who seeks the most capital appreciation or a higher income return and who is financially able and willing to risk losing a substantial portion of investment capital to achieve his or her objectives. The aggressive investor will seek to maximize his or her total return through a broad range of investments and strategies that may include purchasing low-priced, low rated, or volatile securities, using a high degree of leverage, or engaging in a high level of activity. Knowledge of investment strategies and investment experience are important considerations.
