    YOUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

    Based on your overall financial goals, which of the following best describes your investment:

    Capital Appreciation: Maximize long-term returns while accepting the likelihood of short- term losses in my account. Recommended minimum is over five years.Capital Appreciation plus some Income: Accept some market risk but cushion losses in market declines. Recommended minimum investment period is over five years.Current Income: Generate current income while limiting losses to principal. Recommended minimum investment period is three to five years.Capital Preservation: Preserve capital while seeking growth at a rate equal to inflation. Recommended minimum investment period is three to five years.

    RISK TOLERANCE

    Given your tolerance for risk and understanding that investments fluctuate in value, which of the following statements would best describe your reaction if the value of your portfolio were to decline by 5% - 10% over a short period of time:

    Extremely Concerned: I cannot accept even temporary loss of principal. But I recognize the need for my investments to grow. I am willing to sacrifice higher returns and liquidity in exchange for safety of principal.Concerned: But I recognize that short-term losses are a normal investment risk, and I can tolerate one or two quarters of negative returns.Somewhat Concerned: But I am more interested in my total return over a three to five year period.Not Concerned: I am primarily interested in achieving my long-term investment goals.

    Where would you rate yourself on this scale:

    1 - Minimize losses and I am willing to take less return5 - A balanced investment mix with fluctuations and growth of assets10 - Maximum accumulation of assets regardless of short term fluctuations

    Check the box that you feel best describes you:

    I would rather accept a lower rate of return than subject my investment to short-term volatility.I invest for long-term growth, but would be concerned about a temporary decline.I invest for long-term growth and understand that there are changes due to market fluctuations.I am willing to accept some day-to-day fluctuations in the value of my investment in exchange for a higher potential return over the long run.I am a growth oriented long-term investor seeking a maximum return on my investments.If the amount of my income I received were unaffected, it would not bother me to see fluctuations.

    TIME HORIZON

    What is the shortest length of time you are able to commit to investing these assets without liquidating a substantial portion (buying a house, college education, starting a business)? Historically, the longer the time horizon, the more predictable the overall return becomes since short-term fluctuations tend to cancel each other out. (Note: If you are planning for retirement at 65 and you are 55, your time horizon would include 20 years in retirement for a total of 30 years.)
