Find Your Financial Strategy - Free Online Tool

Find a suitable investment strategy.

Your investment strategy should reflect the kind of investor you are—your personal investor profile. This Free online tool will help you determine your profile and then match it to an investment strategy that’s designed for investors like you.

This online tool measures two key factors:

YOUR RISK TOLERANCE

How do you feel about risk? Some investments fluctuate more dramatically in value than others but may have the potential for higher returns. It’s important to select investments that fit within your risk tolerance level.
