Understanding Questionnaire Results
A completed questionnaire returns a suggested risk profile (for example, Moderate). It also provides a breakdown of the following:
Summary: includes the asset allocation breakdown for that profile.

Scatter Plot: shows where the result falls relative to the efficient frontier.

Stress Test: shows how the profile would have performed during past periods of market turbulence.

Upside Downside: review the best and worst monthly returns of the profile.

Responses: allows you to view the exact responses your client gave to each question asked.

Compare: allows you to weigh the suggested profile against another candidate side by side. If you assign a different risk profile than the one the questionnaire suggested, you'll be asked to add a short note why, this is saved permanently to the client's risk history as an override.
