Kellett Financial & Insurance Services » Risk Profile Questionnaire

As an investor, you’re unique. Your financial goals, current financial situation, investment experience, and attitude towards risk all help determine the mix of assets that’s just right for you. Thus, you need to define your goals and assess your current financial situation. You need to be honest with yourself about your investment experience and your attitude toward risk. Only after defining these factors can you start on the path to developing a plan for your retirement savings.

The questions in this Investor Profile Questionnaire were designed to help you understand your investment objectives and your investment personality. You may use this service
to support your investment-making decision or to select an Asset allocation mix tailored to your needs. As you answer the following questions, remember that there are no right or wrong answers. However, keep in mind that you must be completely candid, or the results won’t reflect your true investment personality.

Please answer each question, and find your score in the brackets ( ) next to the answer. Enter the score into the space provided after each question. Your total score will assist you in defining your investor profile. If you have more than one account with Kellett Financial, please consider filling out one questionnaire for each account.

Guaranteed: For investors with no tolerance for variability in year-to-year returns. Guaranteed investors are advised to invest in guaranteed interest terms, which are stable investments with predictable income and no fluctuation in value.

Conservative: For investors with limited tolerance for variability in year-to year returns. Conservative investors seek stability with fairly predictable growth and relatively little fluctuation in value.

Moderate: For investors willing to accept a trade-off between growth and security, without significant variability in year-to-year returns and only small fluctuations in capital value over time. Moderate investors need a balance approach. With equal emphasis on achieving growth and a steady return.

Growth: For patient investors who are willing to tolerate some variability in year-to-year returns and some fluctuations in capital value over time. Growth investors are primarily interested in growth, with capital preservation over the short term as a secondary consideration.

Aggressive Growth: For investors seeking significant potential growth who are willing to tolerate greater fluctuations in capital value over time. Superior long-term results are gained as the Aggressive Growth investor accepts much greater year-to-year variability in returns.

Maximum Growth: For investors seeking maximum potential growth who are willing to tolerate significant fluctuations in capital value over time. Maximum Growth investors accept a significant emphasis on equities in order to gain the potential for long-term growth, and can tolerate greater year-to-year variability in returns.
