Risk Numbers & The 1-99 Scale

Our Risk Questionnaire is a data-based tool that may facilitate a deeper understanding of what your investments are and how much risk you are willing to be exposed to. The results from your questionnaire will assign you a Risk Number between 1 and 99; the scale equates 1 with the lowest risk tolerance and 99 with the highest.
