Enhancing our risk profiler
 
Helping you understand your customers attitude to risk

Our Risk Profiler allows you to identify your clients’ attitude to risk by answering 10 simple questions. In April we improved our risk profiler to include 7 potential client risk rating outcomes. Improvements to the tool include a more detailed results screen with the goal, the experience and the expectations of your customer, based on the answers to the 10 questions given, as well as sample investment mix’s for each of the risk ratings.

There are 2 versions of the Risk Profiler Tool available to you and your clients. Simply click on the links below to access

We've also updated the hard copy of the risk profiler to reflect these enhancements. This can be downloaded by clicking here.

Aviva moves to ESMA risk rating scale
 
New fund guide, understanding our risk ratings sales aid and understanding securities lending sales aid
We have changed how we risk rate our funds. Our funds risk ratings are now broadly in line with guidelines recommended by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). The ratings are based on a scale of 1 to 7 with 1 being the lowest and 7 the highest.

Fund and market highlights
Markets relatively stagnant in April
  • The markets kicked of the second quarter with relatively benign performance.  The US and emerging markets ended April around the same level they started it.
  • The Q1 earnings season has started in Europe and the US. In the US, nearly 70% of companies who have reported so far have beaten earnings expectations. Whilst earnings have surprised on the upside by 5.2% (Source: JP Morgan).  Despite a better economic backdrop, In Europe earnings have continued to contract. 
  • Our fund performance broadly reflected this benign environment.
