Risk/return relationship explained:

Below are the different levels of risk explained to help you when you select your funds.

Cautious
Deposit and money market investments where capital is at low risk even if it means giving up potential growth. These funds generally provide a steady increase and easy access.  These funds are categorised as below-average risk funds.

Cautious/Medium
A balance of investments offering some security with potential for long-term growth/income. The value can go up and down.

Medium
A balance of investments offering a wide spread of investment with the potential for long-term growth/income. The value can go up and down.

Medium/Adventurous
Offering a narrower spread of investment in such areas as UK shares and international shares, the value of the funds can go up and down and potentially by greater amounts than the funds in the medium category.

Adventurous
Looking to maximise the potential returns from investments in stocks and shares, these funds involve a significantly higher risk. The ups and downs will potentially be more severe and frequent than the approaches described above.
