RISK
A risk level 2 investor should be prepared to accept annual returns somewhere within the range of a -5.47% loss and a 11.59% gain — returns within this range would be expected 95% of the time. It should be remembered that there is a 5% chance that risk level 2 portfolios will experience an annual return outside this range — this means an investor may experience losses greater than -5.47% or gains greater than 11.59% at some point(s) during their investment in one year.
