The Risk vs Return Graph provides an indicative view of how your chosen Investor Profile relates to your current investments. Ideally, existing investments should be as close as possible to your Current Portfolio Assets marker in the above chart. There is no merit in taking more risk (Volatility) for no increased gain. In this way your assets allocation, as recommended by us, seeks to minimise risk and optimise returns. Notes on Risk: There are many forms of risk that have to be taken account of. For example:
Inflation Risk: If the inflation rate exceeds your after tax returns then you are going backwards! You are losing your buying power. This often happens to those who just remain in cash and / or fixed interest. Market Risk: An investment will participate in a particular investment sector e.g. Domestic Share Market and often, regardless of the actual holding, will experience the impact of market sentiment both positive and negative. This can be driven by either economic factors or human behavior and is often a combination of both. Some funds use technical investment tools to manage and this. Specific Risk: If funds are placed into an asset which is not diversified within itself then the outcome will be dependent on that one placements performance. Grouped Investment Funds / Mutual Funds seek to mitigate this by diversifying the risk. Currency Risk: If investments are held outside of the country in which you live and in which you intend to use these funds then differential in currencies can have significant impact on the purchasing power of your portfolio. Hedging strategies are a way of managing this. Default Risk: This occurs when the issuer of a security is unable to repay a loan. Research Houses / Rating Agencies seek to quantify the probability of this happening. Sector Risk: There are times when one sector is depressed while the others are buoyant. Diversification over different asset classes seeks to mitigate this. Duration Risk: Locking into a long term investment based on current economic assumptions when these assumptions can change. E.G Locking into a low interest rate Fixed Interest Security for 10 years means the value of the Bond, if tradable, will go down if not held to maturity if interest rates rise. In addition there is the missed opportunity of higher rates in the future. Few can see 10 years ahead!
A well designed portfolio will address all of these issues No Pilot tales off without a pre-flight check!

Insurance
Insurance is the process of reimbursing or protecting you from contingent risk of losses through financial means, in return for relatively small, regular payments to an insurance company. The alternative is for you to have sufficient resources to cover the loss and self insure. If you have dependants that rely on your income then they are at risk if your income stops through either death or sickness. You may have a significant health event which requires a high medical cost to treat. Health Insurance may be able to mitigate the cost. If you do not have the substantial funds required to self insure you may fund your savings for future Goals robbed. Insurance compliments good cash flow management as a tool for preserving your wealth. Do remember: Insurance will only cover events that do not exist at the time of purchasing insurance. It covers the unknown only. You should never replace insurance unless you have the replacement in place. Life Insurance. If someone is dependent on you then you may need insurance. You may be the major income earner and in a business situation you may be a Key Person without whose contribution the income from the company would be diminish. Income Protection Insurance. For most people the ability to earn is their greatest asset. If you total your lifetime salary over it is not an insignificant amount. There are a variety of ways to protect your ability to earn with Insurance products. Some can provide a partial replacement of Income while others can provide a lump sum related to defined health events. Health Insurance. Health Insurance means that medical issues can be attended to quickly without a large expense or depletion your savings.

After you set your goals, the next step is to prioritize them. Although its nice to be able to accomplish them all, sometimes that is simply not possible. You may have to make some changes and accept some compromise. After your goals are prioritized, the next step is to review them and identify actions you should take to accomplish each goal. Diversification Portfolio diversification is the means by which investors minimize or eliminate their exposure to company-specific risk, minimize or reduce systematic risk and moderate the short-term effects of individual asset class performance on portfolio value.
Well-conceived portfolio diversification will result in the construction a well-diversified portfolio that will serve you well in achieving your long-term investment goals. And defining an investment universe that is sufficiently broad to ensure that the highest level of diversification consistent with your risk tolerance can be achieved is the single most important step in constructing your portfolio. Inflation Inflation, a universal concept, is an economy-wide sustained trend of increasing prices from one year to the next. The rate of inflation is important as it represents the rate at which the real value of an investment is eroded and the loss in spending power over time. Inflation also tells investors exactly how much of a return (%) their investments need to make for them to maintain their standard of living. Insurance Traditionally, Life insurance has always been a way to protect your survivors and dependents against financial hardship. Simply put, Life insurance offers financial protection to you and your loved ones when you retire, die or are unable to continue providing financially due to unforeseen incidents. While nothing can substitute your loss, insurance at least takes care of the financial gap created by your absence or the absence of an active income source. It thus tries to eliminate risk by substituting certainty for uncertainty However Life Insurance has evolved over time. Today it is a smart savings and investment option and can offer market linked returns. With the right life insurance policy you can be assured of maintaining your standard of living and even improve it. You can plan for your aspirations and time your policies to get you a lump sum amount just when you need it or you can simply make your money grow for the rainy day. It can help you meet your

childs educational needs, their marriage expenses or for purchasing that dream home that youve always wanted. Monte Carlo Risk is part of all investments. Monte Carlo simulation allows for better decision making under uncertainty. Monte Carlo simulation performs risk analysis by building models of possible results by substituting a range of valuesa probability distributionfor any factor that has inherent uncertainty. It then calculates results over and over, each time using a different set of random values from the probability functions. Depending upon the number of uncertainties and the ranges specified for them, a Monte Carlo simulation could involve thousands or tens of thousands of recalculations before it is complete. Monte Carlo simulation produces distributions of possible outcome values. By using probability distributions, variables can have different probabilities of different outcomes occurring. Probability distributions are a much more realistic way of describing uncertainty in variables of a risk analysis Risk Profiler Risk profiling can help you make decisions that are suitable to you, as it is a method of measuring personal tolerance to investment risk. In simple terms, how much risk an individual is willing to make, or not make. Risk tolerance can be seen as the sum of all the fear/greed trade-offs available. Once we have obtained your investor profile, we then examine the most suitable strategy. Once we have decided on the strategy we then look at the investment options available to you. This process results in your funds being invested across many investment sectors so that they are fully diversified as to your wishes and also your tolerance levels. Net Worth The Net Worth Statement tells you what you're worth financially. Use it to list all your assets and liabilities (your debts and expenses) and then subtract the sum of your liabilities from your total assets. When completing your net worth information, use a specific date -- perhaps the end of a calendar quarter or the end of the year -- so you can use the same date to recalculate it annually.
