Understanding your Investor Profile

SEGREGATED FUNDS Savings and Retirement

Investing in fixed income and equity securities is not without risk. Financial markets can rise and fall and investment decisions revolve around the risk/return trade off you are willing to assume. Before investing it is important to understand your financial goals, attitudes towards risk and time horizon; to help you determine what investments suit you.

WHAT IS AN INVESTOR PROFILE?

An Investor Profile is a summary of an investor’s financial goals, financial situation, time horizon, and risk tolerance. It can help investors, like you, select appropriate investments. In general terms, your profile defines the level of risk you are willing to take. For example, if you need to protect your money and have a short time horizon, you may follow a more conservative portfolio. If you have a longer time horizon and are focused on growing your money, you may follow a more aggressive equity-based portfolio.

CONSERVATIVE

Definition of a conservative investor You have a low tolerance for risk and potential loss of capital. You have a short investment time

horizon. You are willing to accept some short term fluctuations. You accept small losses in your

investment portfolio in exchange for modest returns. The primary objective of your investment

portfolio will be to provide income by investing primarily in funds that invest in fixed-income

securities. Capital appreciation is not a priority. A small portion of your portfolio may be

invested in equity funds to provide the potential for some growth to offset the effects of inflation.

Any amount that is allocated to a segregated fund is invested at the risk of the owner and may

increase or decrease in value. Segregated fund values change frequently and past performance does

not guarantee future results. Professional advice should be sought before an investor embarks on any

investment strategy. Investors do not purchase an interest in underlying securities or funds, but rather,

an individual variable insurance contract issued by Equitable Life of Canada.
