New investments tool separates speculators into 8 categories

Thu, 12 Apr 2007

All people looking for investments can apparently be classified into one of eight distinct categories.

That is the premise of a new investments profiling tool now available on the official website of investments specialists Fidelity International.

The programme invites visitors to answer a series of questions designed to calculate the level of risk they are comfortable with and what returns they are looking for.

It then uses this financing information to propose a range of investments funds from the financial services provider that are deemed most appropriate for the needs of the individual investor.

Richard Wastcoat, UK managing director of the investments giant, explained the principle behind the investments profiling tool.

"We are making our asset allocation expertise much more accessible to self-directed investors faced with the difficult decision of where to invest," he said.

"We are now bringing Fidelity's asset allocation expertise to everyone."

Earlier this week, Tim Rees, UK equities manager for investments group Clerical Medical, commented on the outlook for investments in the UK equities market.

While acknowledging that market values have been fluctuating recently, Mr Rees argued that UK shares remain "good value" since domestic companies continue to record strong profit margins.
