Risk Profiling

7. Introduction
• Risk profiling is one of the most important part of the
investment process.
• It plays an essential role in ensuring the suitability of asset class
in your portfolio.
• Risk profiling generally revolve around two questions:
1. "How much risk can you handle psychologically?"
2. "How much risk should you ideally take on?”

8. Introduction
These question reflects 2 important aspects of risk profiling:
1. Risk Tolerance (Emotional/Psychological Aspect)
2. Ability to take Risk (Financial Aspect)
Answers to both the above questions may not necessarily be the
same

9. Risk Tolerance
• Risk tolerance is a measure of your willingness to accept higher
risk or volatility.
• Those with high tolerance are aggressive investors, willing to
accept losing their capital in search for higher returns and vice
versa
• There is also an emotional aspect attached to it. An investor may
have a high risk tolerance. But when actually the event occurs
and he sees his portfolio significantly down he may not be willing
to accept it.

10. Risk Tolerance
• An individual should have a realistic understanding of his or her
ability and willingness to stomach large swings in the value of
his or her investments.
• Risk tolerance is a measure of how much risk you can handle,
but that is not necessarily the same as the appropriate amount
of risk you should take.

11. Risk Taking Ability
• Financial risk capacity can be measured in many different ways,
including time horizon, liquidity, income etc.
• Those with high income can make higher-risk investments as fall
in the amount of their portfolios will not make much difference
to their finances.
• An investor may have high risk tolerance but if a small drop in
value affects his monthly budget, then his risk taking ability is
considered to be low.
