0-20 score – Conservative or Very Low Risk – Income with Capital Preservation. Designed as a longer-term accumulation account, this is considered generally the most conservative investment objective. Emphasis is placed on generation of current income with minimal risk of capital loss. Lowering the risk generally means lowering the potential income and overall return.

21-40 score – Moderate Conservative – Income with Moderate Growth. Emphasis is placed on generation of current income with a secondary focus on moderate capital growth.

41-60 score – Moderate or Medium Risk – Growth with Income. Emphasis is placed on modest capital growth with some focus on generation of current income.

61-80 score – Growth or High Risk -Growth. Emphasis is placed on achieving high long-term growth and capital appreciation. There is little focus on generation of current income.

81-100 score – Aggressive or Very High Risk -Aggressive Growth. Emphasis is placed on aggressive growth and maximum capital appreciation. No focus on generation of current income. This objective has a very high level of risk and is for investors with a longer time horizon.
