During the GFunds application process, you will be required to take the Risk Profile Questionnaire.
The Risk Profile Questionnaire (RPQ) will determine your risk profile as an investor:
| Risk Profile | Description |
| Conservative | Willing to accept lower returns for a higher degree of liquidity or stability |
| Moderate | Willing to endure short-term loss for the prospect of better long-term growth opportunities |
| Aggressive | Willing to risk more money for the possibility of better returns |
Note: Once completed, you cannot retake the Risk Profile Questionnaire (RPQ) nor change your Risk Profile/Risk Appetite on GFunds until after three years or if you are prompted.
Your Risk Profile/Risk Appetite serves as a guide for investing in different funds. All funds include a Risk Rating that identifies the fund's level of risk. You can still invest in funds that have a Risk Rating higher than your Risk Profile/Risk Appetite. There will only be a waiver prompt on the GCash app that you have to confirm when placing a buy order.
Here are the questions you will encounter in the Risk Profile Questionnaire:
| Question | Definition |
| What is your net worth? (approximate) | Your net worth is the total value of your assets (savings account, checking account, investments, etc.) minus your total debts (mortgage payments, car loans, etc.). |
| What is the source of your funds? | Your source of funds is where your money for investing will come from. If the source of your funds is not stated, kindly specify under the “Others” checkbox. |
