Your Investor Type reflects who you are as an investor: How you pursue your investment objectives and how much risk you are prepared to take to achieve them. Determining your Investor Type is the first step on your investment journey with us. It ensures we build your portfolio to match your risk appetite and your financial circumstances.
How do we decide your Investor Type?
Understanding your Investor Type is an essential first step when investing. At JioBlackRock, we do this through a simple risk profile assessment on our app. The questionnaire collects key information about your age, income, responsibilities and personal preferences.
This helps us understand crucial factors like:
This helps us understand crucial factors like:
- 1. Income and Savings - How much of your income are you consistently able to save every month?
- 2. Time horizon - How long can you stay invested for?
- 3. Dependents and financial obligations - Do you have credit card EMIs or loans you need to regularly pay for?
- 4. Risk tolerance level - How much potential loss financially you can absorb based on your income, assets and obligations?
2. Your psychological comfort with volatility - How emotionally prepared are you to handle market ups and downs?
Together, these factors reveal your Investor Type, which will determine how we build a personalised investment plan for you. Some Investor Types include:
Guardian - Very Low Risk
As a Guardian, you prioritise safety and stability above all.
Your portfolio focuses on preserving your capital, which means we keep your investments mainly in short‑term bonds and other low‑risk instruments, with very limited exposure to the stock market.
This approach is ideal if you’re high risk‑averse and prefer steady, predictable outcomes.
Defender - Low Risk
As a Defender, you value safety but are open to taking slightly more risk than a Guardian.
Your portfolio still leans towards low‑risk investments, but with a bit more equity exposure to help your money grow steadily over time.
This is a good match if you’re looking for slow and stable growth while staying cautious.
Moderator - Moderate Risk
As a Moderator, you’re comfortable with a balanced approach.
Your portfolio includes a healthy mix of equities and bonds, aiming for steady long‑term growth without taking on excessive risk.
This suits you if you want growth but still prefer a measured, balanced style of investing.
Builder - Moderately High Risk
As a Builder, you’re willing to take on more risk in pursuit of better returns.
Your portfolio has a high share of equities, supported by some fixed‑income investments to maintain balance.
This is ideal if you’re growth‑oriented but still want a degree of stability.
Explorer - High Risk
As an Explorer, you’re comfortable riding out significant market ups and downs for the chance of high long‑term growth.
Your portfolio features high equity exposure, with only a small portion in fixed‑income for minimal stability.
This is suited for investors who believe in the long‑term potential of markets and can handle volatility.
Adventurer - Very High Risk
As an Adventurer, you actively seek aggressive growth and have a high tolerance for risk.
Your portfolio is almost entirely equity‑driven, including stocks and equity‑oriented mutual funds, helping you aim for high long‑term returns.
This suits investors who are confident, experienced, and comfortable with substantial market fluctuations.
By identifying your Investor Type, we’re able to create a personalised investment plan that truly reflects your goals and your comfort with risk. But our support doesn’t stop there.
At JioBlackRock, we monitor your portfolio every single day to ensure it continues to stay aligned with your risk level and investment objectives. And whenever markets move or your portfolio drifts away from its intended mix, we send you a nudge for rebalance it bringing it back on track.
