Growth Portfolio

  • Have high return expectations for your investments
  • Can tolerate higher degrees of fluctuation (sharp, short-term volatility) in the value of your investments
  • Are a more experienced investor and a risk taker
  • Desire returns that exceed inflation
  • Have 10 years or more before you will need to utilise the funds

  • Have moderately high return expectations for your investments

  • Are an experienced equity investor
  • Have 5 years or more before you will need to utilise the funds

Cautious Portfolio

A cautious portfolio has only 30% invested in growth assets like equities and property. 70% is allocated to lower risk, fixed interest/bond investments and cash. A cautious portfolio may be suitable for you if you:

  • Need income to supplement your cash flow
  • Are unwilling or unable to accept risk volatility
  • Are a cautious investor
  • Are more concerned about current income than outpacing inflation
  • Have 3 or fewer years before you will need to utilise the funds
