EQUITIES PORTFOLIO. This investment objective is considered by investors with a long-term investment horizon, who are able to tolerate several back-to-back years of negative returns. This is the highest risk profile, and therefore may provide highest return/ loss potential. Desire for long term growth outweighs the desire for short term capital preservation. The portfolio asset mix for an aggressive growth portfolio might be: Cash: 5-10%; Bonds: 20%; Shares: 80%.
