RISK TOLERANCE QUESTIONNAIRE

Based on the work of university researchers John Grable, Ph.D. and certified financial planner, and Ruth H.

other half into hard assetsc) Sell the bonds and put the total proceeds into hard assetsd) Sell the bonds, put all the money into hard assets, and borrow additional money

SCORING

1. a = 4; b = 3; c = 2; d = 1

6. a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4 10. a = 1; b = 3

2. a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4

7. a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4

11. a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4

3. a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4

8. a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4 12. a = 1; b = 2; c = 3

4. a = 1; b = 2; c = 3 9. a = 1; b = 3 13. a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4

5. a = 1; b = 2; c = 3 According to John Grable: “Average and mean scores were relatively constant over time, ranging from 25 to 27 after addition.” Even though it is not an official scoring system, it appears that the following scores are reliable with regard to risk tolerance:

18 or less = Low19 to 22 = Below average23 to 28 = Average or moderate29 to 32 = Above average33 and over = High

Source: J.E. Grable and R. H. Lytton, “Financial Risk Tolerance Revisited: The Development of a Risk Assessment Instrument,” (1999) 8 Financial Services Review 163. Reproduced with permission.

For the purposes of applying John Grable’s risk tolerance measure, the following chart was developed by the IQPF to convert the score to a target asset allocation:

Score earned Fixed income Grow securities13 100% 0%

14 to 15 80% 20%16 to 18 70% 30%19 to 22 60% 40%23 to 28 50% 50%29 to 32 40% 60%


33 and over 30% 70%

The purpose of this grid is not just to establish the investor profile but to offer a guide on asset allocation that will reflect the client’s risk tolerance. Remember that risk tolerance is just one factor to take into consideration in developing a target asset distribution. Financial planners should also bear in mind the client’s goals, investment horizon, investment knowledge and financial capacity to take risk.
