How is the Risk Level calculated for Flexible Portfolios?
The Risk Level is a measure of risk, expressed as a percentage, whereby in any given year, there is a 99% probability that you won’t lose more than this percentage in terms of the portfolio’s value.
These are the Risk Level brackets for Flexible Portfolios.
- Very Conservative: Up to 7%
- Conservative: 8-13%
- Moderate: 14-19%
- Balanced: 20-25%
- Aggressive: 26-32%
-
Very aggressive: 33% and more
For example, in a worst-case scenario, there's a 99% chance a Balanced portfolio won't lose more than 25% of its value in any given year.
Generally, a higher Risk Level percentage denotes a more risky portfolio, and thus should be accompanied with a longer-term investment horizon.
