a guide to risk and reward
Different people have different attitudes to risk. You need to be clear about the degree of risk you are willing to accept before undertaking any kind of investment.
You will always need to be prepared to take some ‘risk’ with your money if you are aiming to beat inflation and give yourself the potential to achieve greater growth than you would achieve via Bank or Building Society savings.
You must be aware and, indeed, comfortable that the value of the investments you will need to choose to achieve this ‘extra’ return will rise and fall and you cannot be certain what the value of your investment will be at any point in the future.

In conjunction with the Pembroke Wealth Management Service which was launched in October 2009, we developed our own Investment Risk Questionnaire. The purpose of the document is to help us ( and you ) ascertain your attitude to, and capacity for, investment risk.
