Risk Statement
Please note that the information contained in this guide is of a
general nature only, does not constitute financial advice, and does
not take into account the investor's individual and unique
investment character, circumstances or needs.
All investments involve risk which may result in the loss of

should consider your individual circumstances and sentiment towards
all the risks associated with investments.
We encourage you to seek advice from an authorised financial advisor

What is Time Horizon?
Time Horizon is the length of time from when the investment is
made to when it is expected that the investment may need to be
withdrawn.
Generally speaking, a short time horizon imposes a conservative
investment whilst a longer time horizon indicates a more aggressive
investment.
Consider your age, need for liquidity, and overall financial
position in making your selection.

What is Expected Return?
Your investment return expectation is a key driver of your
investment goals.
Generally, bank deposit rates are the most conservative returns an
investor can expect to receive. In order to achieve higher returns
than bank deposit rates more risks are normally associated with the
investment.
To determine you expected return consider your income needs from the
investment, whether you wish to simply preserve the investment in
terms of inflation or whether you wish to seek to create wealth from
the investment by inflation by beating returns.
Return to the Form
What is Market Risk?
Market Risk is the risk that the investment value may decrease in
value due to fluctuations in the market value of an investment.
Generally, the higher the market risk, the higher the expected
return.
This implies that an investor who seeks higher returns accepts
higher levels of price movement (volatility) in the short term.
