Risk Profiles

Risk profiles.

We grade portfolios on a scale from RG2 (Cautious) to RG5 (Adventurous). Every Quorum portfolio maps to a defined risk grade.

Our five risk grades.

Grade Profile Equity % Investment term Portfolios
RG1 Not served — too cautious for model portfolios 0–15% Capital preservation
RG2 Cautious 15–30% 5+ years Quorum Core RG2
RG3 Balanced 30–60% 7+ years Core RG3 · Core RG3 Ethical · Income & Growth · Ethical Income
RG4 Growth 60–80% 10+ years Quorum Core RG4
RG5 Adventurous 80–100% 10+ years Quorum Core RG5

How we calibrate risk.

Our committee reviews risk-grade boundaries annually and after major market events.

01

Volatility targets

Each grade has a target volatility range. The committee monitors actual portfolio volatility monthly.

02

Drawdown estimates

We publish indicative maximum drawdown estimates for each grade under normal and stressed conditions.

03

ATR alignment

Grades are designed to align with standard adviser ATR questionnaire outputs.

04

Annual review

Grade boundaries and portfolio construction are reviewed by the full committee every year.
