Asset Intelligence Portfolio Management / Understanding your investments THE WORLD OF INVESTMENTS UNDERSTANDING RISK Of all the decisions that go into your financial planning, the one that will have the greatest impact on your future is this: how much investment risk will you take? In an ideal world the perfect answer would be ‘no risk’, Capacity for Loss looks at your overall financial position. Can unfortunately a life without risk is impossible.

Risk Tolerance is how you feel about investment risk. It’s about the psychology of taking risks with money. How will you react if there is a sharp market fall? Will investing become a source of stress and anxiety for you, or will you be relaxed as markets go through their natural cycles? 9

Asset Intelligence Portfolio Management / Understanding your investments TYPES OF INVESTMENT RISK There are a number of different risks to consider which may impact on the value of your investments: Market Risk (known as systemic risk) is the risk that external Inflation Risk is the risk that your returns are below the rate factors can affect asset prices across the market as a whole. of inflation.

For example, shares in a specific company may lose value if the company is less profitable than before. 10

Asset Intelligence Portfolio Management / Understanding your investments DIFFERENT ASSET TYPES There are many different assets that you can invest in within a portfolio. These tend to be grouped into one of two different categories: Defensive or Growth. Defensive assets and in return you are paid interest on your capital sum.

For this reason, gilts are considered a lower risk investment than other types of bond.

Asset Intelligence Portfolio Management / Understanding your investments RISK VS REWARD Typically, risk and reward go hand in hand. That is, the greater the potential returns from an asset, the greater the risk. The chart below provides a simplistic illustration of the traditional spectrum for the various Defensive and Growth assets.

What this means is that there different asset types correlate allows you to build different may be times when one asset type is rising in value at the portfolios with different objectives and characteristics.

Asset Intelligence Portfolio Management / Understanding your investments A TYPICAL INVESTMENT PROPOSITION When it comes to building an investment proposition, the aim is to deliver a range of portfolios that utilise a blend of defensive and growth assets in different proportions in order to offer a range of risk/reward outcomes. As an example, a typical investment proposition may look something like this: Portfolio / Risk Level Portfolio 1 - Lowest Portfolio 2 - Low Portfolio 3 - Medium Portfolio 4 - High Portfolio 5 - Highest Defensive Assets 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Growth Assets 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Return* 3% 4% 5% 7% 9% Volatility** 2% 5% 8% 11% 13% *Average annual returns over the long term (i.e. 10 years of more). **The percentage by which the portfolio deviates from it’s benchmark.

In reality these portfolios would typically consist of 5-10 asset types and may hold 20-30 individual As you move up the scale, and as the percentage of growth funds. If an equity fund was then to hold shares in 20 different assets increases, so too does the potential returns and companies, that could mean Portfolio 5 (for example) is potential risk (volatility). invested in anything like 400 – 600 different companies. 17

Asset Intelligence Portfolio Management / Understanding your investments BEHAVIOUR IN A RISING MARKET In a rising market, usually, you would expect the portfolios with the greatest growth holdings to perform the best. Likewise, you would also expect the portfolios with the greatest amount of growth assets to display the greatest volatility. The graph below provides an example of how the example portfolios in the previous section might perform in a rising market. 70 60 50 Return % 40 30 20 10 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Years Portfolio 1 Portfolio 2 Portfolio 3 Portfolio 4 Portfolio 5 IMPORTANT: This is purely a visual representation and not based on actual data. 18

Asset Intelligence Portfolio Management / Understanding your investments BEHAVIOUR IN FALLING MARKET Unfortunately, markets do go down as well as up. This seems an obvious statement, but when we find ourselves in a falling market/crash, it’s easy to allow our emotions to take over. Similar to how the portfolios ‘fanned’ out during a rising market, the same should occur in a falling market. As you can see in the example chart below, portfolio 5, which has the highest content of growth assets, suffers the biggest fall in value.  Return % 0 -5 -10 1 23 45 67 8 9 10 -15 Portfolio 2 Years Portfolio 4 Portfolio 5 -20 -25 Portfolio 3 -30 -35 0 Portfolio 1 IMPORTANT: This is purely a visual representation and not based on actual data. 19

Asset Intelligence Portfolio Management / Understanding your investments INVESTING IS A JOURNEY When looking at returns it is important to note the difference between an average annual return over a longer period of time (i.e. 10 years) and returns received on an annual basis. The graph below provides a simulation of how a growth portfolio such as portfolio 4 or 5 might behave over a 20 year period. While this illustration delivered an average annual returnAnnual Return %Having suffered losses three years in a row from years 1 to 3, many would have been tempted to exit the market.
