HOW IT WORKS

The GWP three-step process is what determines which portfolio is right for you based on your individual goals, investment timeline and your risk preference.
Here's how it works:

1. Determine your goals.
 You’ll choose from three primary goal options:

  • Retirement: You want to potentially grow your account for retirement
  • Major purchase: You want to save and invest for a home, vehicle, vacation or more
  • General investing: You don’t have a specific goal in mind, but you want to start investing for the future

2. Determine your investment horizon
If you’re investing for retirement or a major purchase, your investment time frame will be the key factor in determining your initial portfolio allocations

3.  Evaluate your risk preference
You’ll answer a series of risk preference questions, either online or with your advisor. This will clarify if you prefer:

  • Taking on more risk, which means you’ll receive more equity exposure in your portfolio
  • Taking on less risk, which means you’ll receive more fixed income exposure in your portfolio
  • A mixed approach, which means you’ll receive a balanced mix of equity and fixed income in your portfolio
