How we risk profile funds

Dynamic Planner’s research uses information sourced directly from asset managers, product providers and investment platforms. Risk profiling is based on your holdings, trading and tactics, to provide you and your clients with the most thorough assessment of expected risk and reward available.

Dynamic Planner’s powerful, forward-looking asset risk model has consistently delivered over its 19 year history, performing within expected value at risk targets through periods of elevated market risk, including the 2008 financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. It is built on academic principles and overseen by Dynamic Planner’s Investment Committee, which includes internal and external specialists. The Committee meets each quarter to assess and review the benchmark asset allocations for the 1-10 Dynamic Planner risk profiles.
