Quiz – What Is Your Risk Appetite?

February 4, 2021 by Deborah Ilori Leave a Comment

Risk appetite is the level of risk that you or your organization is prepared to accept in pursuit of its objectives before action is deemed necessary to reduce the risk. This concept helps guide the organization’s approach to risk and investment activities.

Each person has a different tendency for risk. When investing, this risk tendency can be used to determine how much of a risk you are willing to take as well as what percentage of your portfolio you are willing to expose to high risk. 

Investing has become a fast-growing trend recently, but before you go ahead to start and even if you are already investing, you should consider how much or how little risk you are willing to take with your money. Take this risk appetite quiz to determine your risk appetite.

What Is Your Risk Appetite
Low tolerance for risk Conservative
You’re careful. You are happy with investments that offer some guarantees. You contemplate hard and worry at investing even a little. You seek to protect your investment portfolio's value by investing in lower-risk investments.
Average/moderate tolerance for risk Moderate
You’re not afraid to risk a little, but you don’t take risks unnecessarily. You’ll risk a bit if there’s a good potential payoff, but you don’t want to put all of your savings on the line. You’ll probably want a well-diversified portfolio.
High tolerance for risk Aggressive
You’re a gambler, willing to risk everything on the right deal. Sometimes that’s OK, as long as you know you really could lose it all. If you can handle the potential losses, you might have a chance at really good returns.
