Your investor profile
How you decide to allocate your assets is the very heart of your financial strategy. It is therefore important that
you take the time to determine what type of investor you are before deciding how best to allocate your assets.
The first step is to fill out Your Investor Profile. This document will help you evaluate many elements to consider
when investing, such as your investment goals, investment horizon, your tolerance to risk and your knowledge
of investments. The answers you provide will allow you to determine the investor profile (Prudent, Moderate,
Balanced, Growth or Aggressive) that best meets your goals and most accurately reflects your attitude toward risk.
We recommend that you review your investor profile periodically or whenever changes take place in your personal
or financial situation.

The Importance of Good Asset Allocation
One of the factors that has the most influence on the return generated by your portfolio is its asset allocation. Therefore, when you establish the distribution
of assets in your contract, it is very important to choose a combination of income and equity that corresponds to your investor profile and risk tolerance level.
You must also take into account any other investments you may have elsewhere.
