Your investor profile

You can choose from many different investment products. In some cases the return is guaranteed, while in others it is not. Why are some investors willing to take risks? Because they hope to earn a better return. The fact is that the higher the expected return, the greater the risk you must be prepared to accept: guaranteed investments usually generate a lower return in the long run than financial products that are not guaranteed.

You can have different accounts with different investment goals

This questionnaire will give you an idea of your investor profile. You can of course have several accounts, each with different investment goals and horizons. For example, you can have an investment goal for your RRSPs, another for your RESPs and a third for your TFSA. Still, for tax considerations, your portfolio can be assessed globally. In any case, contact an AMF-certified representative, who will take your personal and financial situation into account.

Your personal investor profile

Some investors can handle seeing their investments fluctuate sharply from day to day, while others lose sleep over it. That’s why an investment that’s suitable for one person may not be so for another. To find out which investments suit your needs, you have to determine your risk tolerance. As a rule, the higher the risk, the higher the potential return. You therefore have to decide how much risk you are willing to take.

This questionnaire will give you some insight into your investor profile; however, it is not a substitute for advice from an authorized representative. Don’t hesitate to contact one for more accurate results. The AMF does not accept any liability in connection with the use of this tool.

1 How much do you want to invest?

Amount to invest immediately:
(single payment)
Subsequent investments:
(with periodic payments) Period

Do you plan on investing funds that you’ve already saved or do you plan on investing amounts periodically to save for a specific project you have in mind?

For example, if you have already saved $2,000 and plan on investing $50 every two weeks, enter $2,000 in “Amount to invest immediately” and $50 in “Subsequent investments,” and select “every two weeks” from the dropdown list.

2 Excluding your investment income or other similar income, how much do you plan to withdraw from your investments within the next 5 years?

(Check all that apply)

I plan on withdrawing:
(single payment)
I plan on making periodic withdrawals of: Period

Do you plan on withdrawing a lump sum or making periodic withdrawals for a specific project you have in mind?

For example, if you need $10,000 as a down payment on a house and then plan to withdraw $50 every two weeks to cover expenses, enter $10,000 in “I plan on withdrawing” and $50 in “I plan on making periodic withdrawals of” and select “every two weeks” from the dropdown list.

3 Not counting the amounts you plan to withdraw within the next five years, when do you plan on using a large portion (for example, a third) of your investment?

All my investments will be sold within 5 years
In 5 to 9 years
In 10 to 14 years
In 15 years or more

The longer the investment horizon, the greater the investment opportunities. However, you must also factor in your risk tolerance and investment goals.

4

Capital preservation.
Have easy access to funds.
Earn regular income from my investments.
Earn income while growing my investments.
Generate long-term growth.
Make a quick profit (low chance of success and high risk of loss).

The investments used to achieve different goals entail varying degrees of risk and potential returns.

5 Which of the following statements best describes your investment knowledge?

I have limited knowledge of investments and financial markets.

Learning about financial matters is not a priority. For example, you would be unable to explain the difference between stocks, bonds and mutual funds.
I have some knowledge of investments and financial markets.

You could explain the difference between the investments listed above.
I have extensive investment knowledge.

Besides knowing the difference between the above investments, you understand stock markets, investment fees and the principles of diversification. You are fully aware of the risks associated with the different types of investments.

Your level of knowledge is important to determine the investments best suited to your needs. Investors should never make investments they do not understand. They should always know and understand the risks, the potential returns, whether the funds can be easily accessed if needed, the fees involved and the tax implications.

6 How would you describe your current financial situation?

I’m in the red. I often spend more than I earn. I get into debt and have trouble paying it off.
I’m in the red. I often spend more than I earn but have no trouble paying off my debts.
Balanced budget. It takes a lot of effort, but I manage not to spend more than I earn.
Balanced budget. I spend pretty much what I earn. I could save if I had to.
Budget surplus. I spend less than I earn. I have money to invest.

Your financial situation, including your assets and liabilities as well as the amount and stability of your income, is important to determine the losses you can afford to take on your investments. Moreover, if this investment represents a significant portion of your assets, you should be especially cautious with it.

Balanced or surplus budget...

Before investing, it’s important not to spend more than you earn. Being in the red could force you to dip into your investments to make ends meet, which could limit your financial ability to make higher-risk investments.

7 In the future, can one or more of the following events affect your budget balance AND require you to use a large part of your investments sooner than expected?

If you have an emergency fund or enough insurance to cover these situations, do not check any boxes. Otherwise, check all that apply:

Unstable income

Could unstable income force you to spend more than you earn at times? Will you need your investments when this happens?

Birth of a child

It is said that raising a child to age 18 costs about $180,000, or about $10,000 per year. Obviously, the cost varies greatly from one family to the next. Will you soon have to use your investment to provide for your children?

Buying a home

Buying a home brings expenses such as moving, notarial fees, welcome tax, municipal and school taxes, snow removal, renovations, electricity and others. Do you think you will soon need your investment to finance the purchase of a home?

Marriage/union

Marriage or other forms of union have legal or moral implications that can sometimes affect your finances. For example, what will happen if your spouse loses his or her job or becomes disabled?

Divorce/separation

Is a divorce or separation foreseeable? A separation or divorce could have major financial implications. Will you have to pay alimony? Will you have to buy another home or move to an apartment? Would you be able to handle a divorce or separation without dipping into your investment?

Long-term disability

Would you be able to deal with a long-term disability? Disability insurance could give you the coverage you need. Your ability to earn a living is possibly your biggest financial asset.

Retirement

When you retire, your income usually goes down but the decrease is generally offset in part by investment income or a pension plan. Do you foresee having to retire sooner than expected and having to cash in your investments?

Losing your job

The drop in income resulting from losing your job may force you to cash in some of your investments. Do you think you might lose your job in the near future?

Unexpected home repair expenses

Do you have insurance that protects you financially? For example, fire, theft, water damage or liability for damage caused to another person can be very costly. A home can also sometimes require unexpected repairs that are expensive.

Unexpected transportation expenses

Do you have insurance protection for automobile claims, in the event of an accident or theft, for example? A vehicle can also sometimes require unexpected, expensive repairs and may sometimes have to be replaced.

Poor health or high-risk activities

Could poor health prevent you from working? Do you think you will have to dip into your savings to obtain health or home care? Do you practise high-risk sports like skydiving? Do you have a shorter life expectancy?

An emergency fund is money that is easily accessible without borrowing.

Ideally, it should be enough to cover at least three months of expenses. Without a safety net, you may have to cash in your investments before maturity and this would greatly limit the type of investments suitable for you.

8 To achieve my financial goals, this portfolio...

Must generate the expected return.

For example, if you live on your investment income and cannot afford to have it go down significantly. Another example: This portfolio is used to fund part of your children’s education and you’ve calculated that a 2% annual return would allow you to achieve your goals. You therefore do not want to take any unnecessary risks.
Must always maintain its value.

You cannot afford to see your investment lose value, even temporarily.
Must at least maintain its value (the invested principal) over the investment horizon.

You have no specific goal in terms of returns but you don’t want to lose the money invested. Still, so long as you don’t need the principal, the returns can fluctuate. For example, the principal could temporarily lose value.
Must generate a certain return, although it can be lower than expected.

For example, you live or will be living on your investment income, but this income is a lot more than you need. You are therefore prepared to tolerate a decrease in this income and in the market value of your portfolio.le.
Can fluctuate a lot without affecting my plans. You have a long-term goal.

If the returns are lower than expected, you can simply wait for a better time to sell or you can make do with less.

9 If your investments dropped in value, how long would you be willing to wait for your portfolio to regain its initial value?

Less than three months
Three to six months
Six months to a year
One year to three years
More than three years

Some types of investments are very volatile.

Sometimes, even a diversified portfolio can lose value and take several years to recover. Are you prepared to wait and to see the value of your investments fall below what you paid?

For more information, refer to the calculator How long will it take for my investments to recover?

10

None ($0).

* This amount takes into account the information entered in question 1.

Your ability to tolerate a drop in the value of your portfolio is an important factor in determining your investor profile. In general, you should consider tolerating more risk in order to obtain higher potential returns. However, you should be aware that the higher the potential returns, the greater the risk of significant losses.

Headlines – Stock Market Crash!

“The crisis could be worse than the Great Depression of 1929,”
cautions a well-known expert.

With stock markets plunging 30% in just a few months, the expert recommends that investors exercise caution. In his view, a number of factors suggest that the markets will continue falling, maybe even more than 50%.

“An unprecedented global recession is looming, with major economic slowdowns observed in several countries. Some countries have crippling debt that they will never be able to repay. Their bankruptcy will be costly and send ripples around the world.”

11

I would sell the rest of my investment to avoid losing more money.
I would sell some of my investment to protect some of my capital.
I would hold on to my investment in the hopes of getting a better return in the future.
I would view the lower prices as a buying opportunity and increase my holdings.

* These amounts take into account the information entered in questions 1 and 2.

12 Investments that offer high returns are usually high risk. The charts below show the annual hypothetical return (annual gains and losses) of 5 different investment portfolios over a 10-year period. With which of the following investment portfolios would you be most comfortable?

Portfolio A

Portfolio A is very conservative. However, it only offers very modest returns.

Portfolio B

Portfolio B offers better potential returns than portfolio A. However, the returns fluctuate and are not guaranteed. Some years show slight losses.

Portfolio C

Portfolio C is more volatile than portfolio B but offers higher potential returns. To invest in this portfolio, you have to be able to tolerate losses of more than 10%. However, in some years, the returns can be high.

Portfolio D

Portfolio D is high risk. When financial markets perform poorly, investors can lose a lot of money. However, in the long run, investors may be rewarded because this portfolio offers higher returns than portfolios A, B and C.

Portfolio E

Portfolio E offers the best of both worlds. It is actively managed, and the manager successfully foresees bull and bear markets. As a result, the portfolio never lost money and outperforms all the other portfolios presented.

Helpful resources

In any case, remember that this tool is meant to give you insight into your investor profile and should not replace a consultation with an authorized representative. It therefore does not make a formal recommendation but simply gives you an idea of the type of investor you are. Don’t hesitate to contact an authorized representative to obtain more accurate results. You can provide him with more information to help him get to know you better by completing the Summary of your personal and financial situation. To check whether a representative is authorized to sell you financial products and services, call the Autorité des marchés financiers at 1-877-525-0337 or refer to the Register of firms and individuals authorized to practise.

If you have debts

Should you consider paying them off before investing? Talk it over with a representative.

Diversification is important!

Diversification means not placing all your money in one investment or type of investment. It is also important not to invest too much money in the company or industry in which you work. Although you probably know a lot about the company or industry in which you work, the fact is you’ve already invested your biggest asset in it: your future earnings.

Avoid investment fraud

Remember that there is no such thing as an investment that generates high returns without ever declining in value. If this type of financial product existed, we would all invest in it. If someone offers you this type of return WITHOUT any risk, be skeptical! Beware of something that’s too good to be true. For more information on fraud, refer to the guide Red-flagging Financial Fraud.

N.B.

Don’t be surprised if the investor profile questionnaire used by your representative is not the same as this one. This tool is designed to educate investors.

Caution:

This investor profile was determined based on the information provided. The profile varies according to the information given and the user is responsible for the answers shown. Be aware of the fees associated with your investments. Find out whether fees apply if you have to sell your investments. Your investor profile can change over time and should be reviewed if your situation changes, for example, the birth of a child, the beginning or end of a marriage or common-law relationship, and retirement.c.

Limitations of the tool:

This investor profile questionnaire does not deal with products in the exempt market. It also does not deal with borrowing to invest, owning your own company or investing in real estate. It does not factor in tax implications.

This questionnaire is essentially designed to help you better understand yourself as an investor and to give you a general idea of your investor profile. It is intended to complement, not replace, a proper assessment by an authorized representative. A questionnaire is only one part of the process of getting to know your client. No information in the questions is intended as advice about any particular investment product or class of investment product, and should not be used for this purpose. This tool does not make recommendations regarding the buying or selling of securities.

Caution for representatives

This questionnaire is designed to help consumers better understand themselves as investors. However, your job is still to get to know your clients well and this form does not replace a proper assessment of whether the profile is appropriate for them.
