How investors get risk wrong
Hire a wealth manager, and one of their first tasks will be to work out your attitude to risk. If you are not sure exactly what this means, the questions are unlikely to help.
They range from the inane (“How do you think a friend who knows you well would describe your attitude to taking financial risks?“) to the baffling (“Many television programs now have a welter of fast whizzing images. Do you find these a: interesting; b: irritating; or c: amusing, but they distract from the message of the program?”).
