Advisory Questions

Frequently Asked Questions on PMS Risk Profiling

Risk profiling is the structured assessment of an investor's financial situation, emotional risk tolerance (ability to stomach drawdowns), risk capacity (financial ability to absorb losses), investment objectives, and time horizon to determine the most suitable PMS strategy.
Because PMS involves concentrated, high-conviction portfolios. Aligning the strategy with your emotional comfort and financial capacity prevents panic-selling during temporary market drawdowns.
No. A high-risk, small-cap PMS can experience 25-40% temporary drawdowns during broader market corrections, making it unsuitable for investors with near-term liquidity requirements.
Yes. Changes in income, wealth scale, family commitments, or retirement timelines can shift your risk capacity and require rebalancing your PMS portfolio allocations.
No. Risk profiling does not guarantee returns or eliminate equity market risks; its purpose is to ensure that the risks taken are prudent, intentional, and appropriate for your financial situation.
No. Past performance only reflects how a strategy navigated the previous market phase. Without matching the strategy's risk profile to your own, you risk entering at market peaks with mismatched volatility expectations.
