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.
