One of the rst conversations between an adviser and their client focuses on how the client hopes to invest their money. Central to this conversation are two key issues: investment objective and investment risk. Any investment strategy must incorporate these two, often con icting, issues. For example: an individual might want to plan for a secure retirement, however, they are reluctant to take any signi cant investment risk. Different people react differently to risk, and some have a strong bias against taking risk. The client might inform the adviser they do not want their portfolio to suffer any losses during any year in the future. An automatic conclusion could be for the adviser to recommend 100 per cent of the client's portfolio be invested in Government of Canada bonds. Bonds are safe and there is little chance there will be a negative return on any year in the future. But does an all-bond portfolio make sense?
