2. If you're planning to invest, you need to know whether
you are prepared to risk all or just a very small proportion
of your money. How much risk are you willing to take?

3. You should ensure that you only invest what you can afford
to lose and have savings to cover any short to medium term
needs. As an absolute minimum, you should look to hold at
least 3 months earnings in a savings account that offers
immediate access, in case of an unforeseen emergency.
You should also think about making full use of any annual
tax allowances when investing if applicable.

4. You need to understand your attitude to risk - which can be
determined by your circumstances, age, goals and other factors -
as this will help you decide what type of investments you make.
A general rule is that the more risk you’re prepared to take, the
higher the potential returns could be. The downside is that any
losses are potentially greater. If you want more security – in other
words you want to take a more cautious approach – your returns
are likely to be lower.

5. .
Of course there will be people who are unwilling to take any risk
with their money. If that’s you, you’re better off putting your cash
into savings. But you should be aware that inflation can eat into
the value of your money.
Look at it like this - if inflation is 3% and your savings interest is 1%,
that means in a few years' time your money will buy less than it
does now. The opposite can happen, of course, where interest
rates are higher than inflation – and that works in your favour.

6. Think about risk in two ways
Your ability or capacity to take risk.
This is all about your financial circumstances and goals. If you
have more wealth and can invest over longer periods, you may be
more able to accept a higher degree of risk
Your attitude or willingness.
This is more of a mental approach. Some people may not be able
to sleep at night at the thought that their investment can fall in
value rather than rise.
The risk profiles in part 2 may help you identify what sort of
investor you are. If you cannot wait call me now...
