    My total score from the 7 questions is 39
    Investment Type: Aggressive
    Personal Characteristics: I am prepared to accept significant fluctuations in my returns from year to year, providing that over the longer term my investment has grown fairly significantly. I realise that I might have negative returns in any one year.
    Appropriate Asset Weighting: 100% into Growth assets
    (Shares and Property)

    What’s your?

    Warm Regards

    I too was classified as aggressive… but there was too much weighting given to superannuation and not enough to alternatives for my liking.

    Cheers

    I too am aggressive – I guess if you own property other than your home, you are seen as such with the weightings given.

    I liked the 6 points for consulting a fin adviser!!! If my super falls – it will be my own fault as I do it myself, so there isn’t an option of switching to another manager.

    Cheers
    Mel

    32+ AGGRESSIVE !!

    HMMM dunno about that, consider myself as someone who procratinates a bit and only makes a financial move that i also ‘feel’ comfortable with…

    Maybe conservative to us is aggressive to thers…??

    (34) Aggressive for me too!

    That’s even though my portfolio bias has always been fairly evenly balenced between income and growth, which according to them is a more conservative position.

    No questions on attitude towards borrowing for investment (this would really seperate the aggressive from the conservative IMHO).

    I also agree with Richmond that there was insufficient weighting towards non-super investments.

    The question on savings did not have an option for ‘no PPOR but substantial investments elsewhere’ and did not ask about % of income saved (which would be another strong indicator of investment-mindedness).

    I’d estimate that most on this forum would score aggressive, as I regard myself as fairly conservative relative to other investors but still got an aggressive score on the survey!

    Regards, Peter
