Your attitude to investment risk isn’t set in stone. Life changes, goals shift, markets evolve. Whether you’re approaching retirement, have received a windfall, or are simply re-evaluating your priorities, it’s natural for your appetite for risk to change over time. Is your current investment approach still the right fit for your future? 

Risk isn’t about being reckless. It’s about positioning your portfolio in a way that supports your life journey, through inevitable ups and downs, with confidence. That’s why it’s important to distinguish between risk tolerance (how much risk feels comfortable) and risk capacity (how much risk you can afford based on your goals and circumstances). Good advice balances both. 

Still, even the most seasoned investors can fall prey to behavioural biases. Fear of loss, overreacting to market headlines, or focusing too heavily on recent events (known as recency bias) can lead to costly decisions. Many investors let emotion, rather than strategy, shape their actions.
