In an extreme case, you might be deciding if you&#8217;ll take friends up on their offer to go bungee jumping. Less severe, maybe you&#8217;re deciding whether to hop on your bike or into your car to head to the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every conscious or subconscious action comes with some level of risk. And each time, you determine what&#8217;s right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what does risk mean when it comes to investing? From stocks to bonds, and everything in between \u2013 every investment also comes with risk. Generally, the higher the potential return, the higher the risk. To know what&#8217;s right for you, you need to determine your risk tolerance, which really means how comfortable you are with risk and with not knowing how much you will earn or lose on your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand your own tolerance for risk, there are a few key questions you can ask yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list default is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>How comfortable would you be with market volatility?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p class=\"is-style-default default\">How might you react to seeing your investments drop in value?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Are you someone who embraces investment risk because it opens the door to more opportunity, or are you more risk averse \u2013 and likely to lose sleep when the market loses ground?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How risk tolerance changes the way you invest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk tolerance relates to your willingness to take on risk to achieve your goals. It&#8217;s based on your beliefs, your personality and your investment experience. Think of it as your mental and emotional ability to handle possible investment losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you are more comfortable with risk, you may choose investments that offer faster growth and higher potential returns \u2013 even if it means your holdings may lose value at times. If you&#8217;re a risk-averse investor, the opposite is true. You might opt for investments that aim to &#8216;defend&#8217; your investments against losses \u2013 even if it means the possibility of lower returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/GAM_chart_defensive-growth-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51045\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: RBC Global Asset Management<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How risk capacity changes the way you invest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk capacity is not based on your feelings about risk. It&#8217;s not even based on any specific investment. Instead, it relates to how much risk you can afford to take. And that has to do with your financial situation, as well as your age and the time you have to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"table-swipe wp-block-rbc-responsive-table-block\"><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Risk Tolerance<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Risk Capacity<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Your willingness to take risk<\/td><td>Your ability to absorb the impact of investment losses as you pursue higher potential returns<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reflects your personality, your beliefs and your investment experience<\/td><td>Varies with your age, income and net worth<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mar-t-hlf\">Here are some examples of questions you can ask yourself to determine how potential losses would affect your ability to reach your financial goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list default is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Are you saving for your child\u2019s education? How many years before they finish high school? Will you have time to make up any losses if you take more risk as an investor?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p class=\"is-style-default default\">Are you close to retiring? How much have you saved? How will it affect your plans if your retirement fund drops 5 or 10 per cent in value before you retire?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Is time on your side? Do you have many years to invest? Or will you need to take money out of your investment account soon<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The importance of time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Time is an important consideration for risk capacity for a number of reasons, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list default is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>The longer you have to invest, the more time you have to make up for any losses along the way. Over time, markets generally recover from losses. So, if you have a long-term goal, such as saving for retirement, you may have a larger capacity to take on risk in your portfolio.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p class=\"is-style-default default\">But, you may not be able to tolerate that level of day-to-day movement even if your financial situation and time horizon say you can. You might still opt for a lower-risk option that matches your tolerance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>The opposite is true if you have a shorter time to invest. Let\u2019s say you have a nearer-term goal of buying a home in the next year. You now have less time to make up for any losses, so you can\u2019t afford to see any significant drops in your investments. In this case, you may want to opt for more conservative, low-risk investments \u2013 even if you think you could handle the emotions that come with losses.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally the investments you choose are in line with your risk tolerance and your risk capacity. If not, you may take on more risk than you can afford \u2013 or sit in safety to such a degree that your savings grow too slowly. Either way, you may find it more challenging to reach your financial goals. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to understand your own approach to risk and how it affects you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about what level of risk is right for you, check out the helpful questionnaires about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcgam.com\/en\/ca\/learn-plan\/investment-basics\/how-do-you-think-about-risk-as-an-investor\/detail#risk-tolerance-quiz-label-wrapper\">risk tolerance<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcgam.com\/en\/ca\/learn-plan\/investment-basics\/how-do-you-think-about-risk-as-an-investor\/detail#risk-capacity-quiz-label-wrapper\">risk capacity<\/a> from RBC Global Asset Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapsee83b2a73\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapsee83b2a73\" data-dig-id=\"LP-75027-e83b2a73\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Disclaimers\"><span>Disclaimers<\/span><span>Disclaimers<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapsee83b2a73\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px\">Investment advice is provided by Royal Mutual Funds Inc.
