Risk and our Recommended Model Portfolio Allocations
Risk levels in our Direct Mutual Fund and Variable Annuity model portfolios are based on long-term investment objectives on a scale of 2 to 10, with 2 being the lowest risk and 10 being the highest risk. Investments in the financial markets carry principal risk and fluctuate in value. There is a risk-reward relationship with investing. More conservative investments typically have less volatility and lower risk of loss but also have lower return potential. On the other hand, aggressive investments have higher return potential but carry more volatility and risk of loss, especially in the short-term. While investors with longer investment time frames can afford to be more aggressive with their investments because time itself can lower the risk of loss, we encourage our clients to invest based on their personal tolerance for risk.
