How do you determine someone's risk profile and asset allocation? Some people would not know themselves all too well and may think they're aggressive or conservative when they're not. ?

This is a pretty good question. While there is no blanket rule, i suggest trying out the Risk profile calculation tools available on the 3 various robo advisors.

​

Use that as a guage of how much you would invest And what kind of investor you are before committing.

​

If i remember correctly, it is a tool where you can input your current age, and there are a series of questions which allow you to guage how confident you are, your investment horizon, whether you will choose to sell if there is a portfolio drawdown etc.

​

from there, you would be able to understand the model portfolio (mix of bonds and equities) at the end so you figure it out.

​

would recommend autowealth.sg for this tool, i think they have a pretty comprehensive one!

​

Hope that is useful! Cheers!
