Risk warning
The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.

MyFolio choice of risk level
Aims to strike the balance between the risk your clients are willing to take and the rewards they expect in return.
There are five MyFolio risk levels for each of the fund ranges, providing ample choice to meet the risk preferences of the majority of your clients, in a simple-to-understand format.
- MyFolio I
Designed for investors with a conservative approach to investing and who prefer to take a small amount of risk with the aim of achieving modest or relatively stable returns. They accept some short-term periods of fluctuation in value.
- MyFolio II
Designed for relatively cautious investors who want to achieve a reasonable return and are prepared to accept risk in doing so. Typically, these portfolios will exhibit relatively modest yet frequent fluctuations in value.
- MyFolio III
Designed for investors with a balanced attitude to risk – those who do not seek risky investments but do not avoid them either. These types of investors are prepared to accept fluctuations in the value of their investments.
- MyFolio IV
Designed for investors who are very comfortable with investment risk, aim for high long-term investment returns and do not overly worry about periods of poorer performance in the short-to-medium term.
- MyFolio V
Designed for investors who are very comfortable with investment risk, aim for high long-term investment returns and do not overly worry about periods of poorer performance in the short-to-medium term. Ordinarily, these portfolios can be subject to the full extent and frequency of stock market fluctuations.
