Some example risk questions as mentioned in the video:
1. Imagine you have invested £100,000. Which of the five scenarios below would you want for your investment portfolio?
Best-case increase (£) Most likely result (£) Worst-case losses (£)
Scenario 1 13,000 3,000 –11,000
Scenario 2 15,500 4,000 –12,500
Scenario 3 20,000 5,000 –16,500
Scenario 4 24,500 6,000 –21,500
Scenario 5 28,000 6,500 –25,500
2. Investing involves a trade-off between risk and returns. In the past, investments with higher returns have been associated with greater risk and chance of loss. Whereas cautious investments that have had a lower chance of loss also have achieved lower returns. Which of the following statements best describes your attitude to risk?
- I am most concerned with risk. I am willing to accept lower returns in order to limit the risk of loss.
- I am willing to accept some risk and chance of loss in an effort to achieve modest but somewhat higher returns.
- I am willing to accept moderate risk in order to achieve higher returns. Reducing risk and increasing returns are equally important to me.
- I want to achieve strong returns on my investments. I am willing to accept somewhat higher risk and chance of loss.
- I am mainly concerned with getting the highest possible returns on my investments. I am willing to accept significant rises and falls in the value of my investments and a significant chance of loss.
