Basic Principles of Investing

What's Your Risk Profile?

Taking the measure of your risk profile is generally designed to show you how heavily you should be invested in the stock market. It is an indicator of your ability to accept a higher rate of return in exchange for risking principal.

Find your risk tolerance by choosing the statement that best fits your attitude.
