See The Investor Profile Chart Below

Now that you've taken our Investor Profile Test, the chart below will help you determine your "risk preference" and the category of Mutual Funds that might be right for you.

Here's A Basic Rule: To get higher returns, you must take higher risk. Some funds invest very conservatively, while others take more risk in pursuit of higher gains. So, to choose the fund that matches your goals, you'll need to consider how much risk you can afford.
