What Type of Investor Are You?

With an IAble account, you have choices: you can place your money in the IAble Checking Account Option, one of the asset allocation options or both. Ask yourself these three questions to help decide what is best for you.

1. What is my savings goal?

• Am I saving for a larger, more expensive item, like a wheelchair or wheelchair accessible vehicle, that may require a longer savings timeline?

• Am I hoping to use these funds to pay for a stable and ongoing expense, such as rent or health and wellness activities, that require easy access to funds at a certain time each month?

• Am I wanting to use some of the funds to save for a larger item and some to cover ongoing monthly expenses?

2. When will I need the money?

• What qualified disability expenses do I need to pay for today, tomorrow, next week or next month? These are called short-term expenses.

• What qualified disability expenses do I want to save for down the road, perhaps in one to three years? These are called medium-term expenses.

• What qualified disability expenses do I want to save for in the longer-term, over the next four years or more? These are called long-term expenses.

When thinking of savings, think about your short-term, medium-term and long-term disability-related expenses. This can help you decide whether the Checking Account Option, the asset allocation options or a mix is right for your IAble account.

3. What is my risk tolerance?

When investing, risk tolerance is the degree to which you are comfortable with your money fluctuating with the changes in the market.

• Someone with a low risk tolerance would most likely invest in conservative options where there is little to no fluctuation in the initial investment and earnings. This would aim to ensure the initial investment is preserved and often results in very little interest earned.

• Someone with a moderate risk tolerance would most likely invest in more moderate or growth options, where investments take a balanced approach and often invest in an almost equal combination of stocks (more likely to fluctuate with the stock market) and bonds (more stable). This would aim to provide moderate current income with moderate interest earned.

• Someone with a high risk tolerance would most likely invest in more aggressive options, where the potential for higher returns (more money made on the initial investment) outweighs the risk of losing money. This would aim to provide more money earned in interest, but could also result in a loss of money (including the initial investment) depending on market conditions.

With these questions in mind, which of the descriptions below best represent your goals and comfort with risk?

Your goals and risk tolerance are most likely aggressive if…

If you would like to:

• Save for a larger, more expensive item (such as a wheelchair)

• Save over a longer period of time

You think:

• Market fluctuations are not a big deal

• The potential for higher returns outweighs the risk of losing money

• Stocks may be better than bonds and short-term investments because they have the potential to earn more interest

Your goals and risk tolerance are most likely moderate if…

You would like to:

• Pay for ongoing, stable expenses (such as rent or health and wellness activities) AND potentially save for a larger, more expensive item (such as a wheelchair)

• Maintain the money you place in your account but also have the potential to earn moderate interest

You think:

• An almost equal mixture of stocks and bonds is more comfortable than mostly stocks or mostly bonds

• You can tolerate small market fluctuations

Your goals and risk tolerance are most likely conservative if…

You would like to:

• Primarily pay for ongoing, stable expenses (such as monthly rent or health and wellness activities)

• Maintain the money you place in your account, even if it means your account may not earn much interest

You think:

• Bonds and short-term investments may be better than stocks because they are less likely to fluctuate with the market

Match your investment choices with your needs, your timing and your risk tolerance.
