No investment is 100% secure. However, at Henson Crisp we assess your personal attitude to risk and work accordingly towards the investment goals for you and your family. If you are risk-averse, we will invest in safer assets such as bonds, gilts and cash deposits. If you prefer, and are able to accept risks in the hope of superior growth, we can invest accordingly in assets such as growth shares, Enterprise Investment Schemes or Venture Capital Trusts.
It is important to note that peoples’ ability to accept risk (their capacity for loss) can change over time. At our review meetings, we reappraise your risk profile and if there are any changes, we recommend rebalancing your portfolio.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protects customers of financial services firms that have failed. If a company you’ve been dealing with has failed and can’t pay claims against it, the FSCS can step in to pay compensation. For more information, visit the FSCS website.
