Understanding Risk

Investing involves more than choosing a portfolio

Investment markets involve a range of risks that can affect returns and the value of your portfolio over time. While these risks cannot be eliminated, a professionally managed portfolio can help address them through diversification, ongoing monitoring, informed investment changes and a disciplined long-term approach.

Market RiskInvestment values can rise and fall due to movements in financial markets. Economic conditions, company performance, interest rates and global events can all influence returns over time.
Inflation RiskInflation can reduce the purchasing power of money over time. Investments need the potential to grow sufficiently to help preserve the real value of your wealth.
Concentration RiskHolding too much of a portfolio in a single investment, sector or asset class can increase exposure to individual events. Diversification helps spread risk across a broader range of opportunities.
Behavioural RiskEmotional reactions to market movements can lead to poor investment decisions. A disciplined approach helps investors remain focused on their long-term objectives.
Time Horizon RiskDifferent investment goals require different timeframes. Aligning an investment strategy with your objectives and expected investment horizon is an important part of managing risk.

Key risks & important information

Investment risk. The value of investments can rise and fall and you may receive back less than the amount originally invested.
