  23. Choosing your investments It’s simple and easy… You need to know two things to start investing: • Your investment period • Your investor profile

  24. Your investor profile Conservative You are basically a “saver”. You want the security of guarantees as you are very concerned about market volatility. Moderate You essentially want balance. You are more growth-oriented and will accept some risk to get better returns in the long run. Aggressive You are squarely focused on growth. You can accept short-term market fluctuations in order to get the maximum return over the long run.

  25. Investment options Please note that we do not recommend any particular investment strategy or fund, whether it is a sample investment mix or a personal investment selection, with or without the Lifecycle Movement and/or asset rebalancing services.
