Risk Profiling is used to establish a customer’s attitude to investment risk (relates to pensions and investments); Advisors use automated calculators which calculate the customers attitude to various levels of risk having answered a series of questions.

We may also use personal information to calculate customer’s level of affordability using an automated system or to provide a quote for insurance to calculate how much the cover will cost (i.e. to calculate a premium).
