Question 1

What is an investor profile?

Accepted Answer

An investor profile assesses your risk tolerance, investment horizon, and financial situation to determine what asset allocation (stocks vs bonds) suits you. There are generally 5 profiles: conservative, cautious, balanced, growth, and aggressive.

Question 2

How do I determine my risk tolerance?

Your risk tolerance depends on your emotional reaction to market downturns, your investment horizon, and your financial stability. This quiz evaluates these three dimensions to give you a realistic picture.

Question 3

Which ETF should a beginner choose?

All-in-one ETFs like VBAL (balanced), VGRO (growth), or VEQT (100% stocks) are ideal for beginners. They offer global diversification in a single purchase with very low fees (0.20-0.25%).

Question 4

What is the difference between conservative and aggressive?

A conservative profile invests ~80% in bonds and ~20% in stocks, which reduces volatility but also potential returns. An aggressive profile invests 100% in stocks, which maximizes long-term return potential but involves larger temporary drops.
