The purpose of this questionnaire is to help investors get a better idea of their risk sensitivity (or tolerance) in order to guide them toward the appropriate investment solutions. Indeed, how investors behave when faced with uncertainty is a critical factor to consider when analysing savings patterns. This is because risk-taking determines potential yield.
Using a simple questionnaire, the simulator determines an investor profile that is built in accordance with the work of the PSE⁽¹⁾ savings research unit. This profile places investors on a scale that describes their risk tolerance.
