  6. Your investment objective summarizes the primary purpose of your account. It serves to define how assets should be allocated and managed. Ask yourself the following question: "What do I want most to accomplish with this account?" Then select the description below that best fits the purpose of your account.

    a)

    The most important thing is to preserve the value of my assets and minimize risk. I am willing to sacrifice return to reduce downward fluctuations in value.

    b)

    I want to generate current income and preserve my assets, though I am willing to accept a slight risk to the value of my assets for a short period. Preserving my capital is more important than growing the assets.

    c)

    I want a balanced approach. I would like to achieve some moderate return and am willing to accept a modest amount of volatility.

    d)

    I want growth in my asset value and am willing to accept a higher-than-average volatility of short-term results in exchange for the potential for a higher long-term return.

    e)

    I want to maximize the growth of my assets and am willing to accept significant downward fluctuations in value in exchange for the opportunity for higher returns. Current income is unimportant.

  7. Real wealth may be achieved only by earning a return higher than the inflation rate.  What is your long-term return objective above inflation?

    a)

    1 - 2%

    b)

    2 - 3%

    c)

    3 - 4.5%

    d)

    4.5 - 6%

    e)

    More than 6%

  8. Risk and return generally go hand in hand. The greater the return desired, the greater the risk/volatility the investor must accept. Taking greater risk, however does not guarantee higher return. How would you like to have your portfolio structured?

    Security of principal with minimal growth

    Minimal risk of principal with moderate growth

    c)

    Moderate risk of principal with growth potential

    d)

    Greater risk of principal with greater growth potential
