Risk Profiles - Our comparator indices
The eight risk profiles we offer clients each have a different portfolio composition, constructed from the major investment asset classes of cash, bonds, alternatives and equities. These strategic asset allocations are based on long-term risk and return histories, and generate the building blocks for portfolios. From these strategic asset allocations our composite comparative indices are formed, which provide a guide to portfolio performance measurement.

Frequently asked questions about investment management
What is investment management?
Investment management refers to the management of an investment portfolio by a professional investment manager on behalf of an individual, family or business. Through investment management, the aim of the investment manager is to achieve certain financial objectives that have been agreed with their clients. This could include growing investments in line with the client’s risk tolerance or managing a portfolio of responsible investments.
Why should I invest?
Investing is a way to grow your money over time to help you achieve your financial goals. If you choose your investments wisely, you can potentially grow your money more than you can if you leave it in a cash savings account. Investing can also outpace inflation. But investing does come with risks because investments can go down as well as up and you could lose all your money.
What should I invest in?
What you should invest in depends on a range of factors including your individual circumstances, your financial goals, how willing and able you are to take risks with your money and the length of time you have to invest. There are many investment options from high quality through to mediocre, poor and unregulated so seeking professional advice is wise and will help you make choices that are right for you.
Should I invest or save?
Investing versus saving is a common dilemma. The answer depends on your goals, time horizon and individual circumstances. Because investments go up and down in value, it’s not a good idea to invest for anything less than three years so if you have a short-term financial goal, for example saving for a holiday, cash is usually the right choice. But investing can grow your money significantly over the long term.
Is investing safe?
There are risks involved with making investments, so it can’t be said that investing is 100% safe. The level of risk involved varies between investments. When you invest you could lose some or all of your money, but investing is a very popular way to build wealth over time. As an example, when you contribute to a pension, you are investing.
How risky your investments are depends on what you choose to invest in and your overall investment strategy. A common way to reduce investment risks is to choose a range of investments.
