1. Your Risk Profile
Based on your response to the behavioural risk analysis quiz, your assessed risk profile is:
Moderately Aggressive
- You want to invest in a broad spread of quality investments, but predominantly in growth assets to achieve higher growth.
- You understand that investment markets can and will fluctuate and that different market sectors offer different levels of risks, income and growth.
- Your investment time horizon is for the long-term, 3 years or more.
- When you think of the term risk, you think it means ‘opportunity’.
- When you make a financial decision, you usually focus on the possible gains.
- You are a high risk taker and can accept higher levels of investment risks.
- You are seeking to achieve a reasonably high rate of growth on the capital invested.
2. Your Asset Allocation
Asset allocation represents the mix of cash, fixed income and variable income products in your investment portfolio. It is important to have the right mix in order to enhance your return potential and provide the right diversification for risk optimisation based on the assessed risk profile.
Proposed Asset Allocation Plan
Suitable for long term investors who want good growth potential and don’t need current income. Entails fair amount of volatility, but not as much as a portfolio invested exclusively in equities
Allocation: Cash – 5%, Fixed Income – 15%, Index Funds (Large Cap) – 45%, Direct Equity (Mid & Small Cap) – 35%

8. Summary of Plan & Notes
Below diagram represents change in your net financial assets (excluding emergency fund) with time, along with financial goals.
Your emergency fund has been kept outside your retirement assets, to be used exclusively during exigencies. Also, any surplus, deficit from retirement plan is adjusted with it. In this case, surplus of 8.79L was added to the emergency fund at the time of retirement at 55, aside from the initial contribution.
