Model Portfolios

Conservative Portfolio Overview

As a conservative investor, you want to grow your assets overall, but you’re more concerned with the risk of losing your principal investment. You may not be comfortable with a lot of ‘ups and downs’ in the value of your assets. As such, you’ll typically hold a greater proportion of ‘safer’ investments, such as bonds or GICs, and a lower proportion of ‘risky’ investments, like stocks.
