Moderate Risk Tolerance
Moderate risk tolerance refers to an investor’s willingness to assume a moderate level of risk in pursuit of their financial goals. These investors are not as risk-averse as conservative investors, but they are also not as aggressive as high-risk investors. Moderate risk investors are willing to take on some volatility in their portfolio in exchange for the potential for higher returns, but they also want to maintain a level of stability and security.
Understanding the Moderate Investor
