Wealth Creation of an Individual According to Risk Appetite

Wealth Creation
In the modern financial world, wealth creation is no longer just about saving money - it’s about strategically growing wealth through investments tailored to personal financial goals and risk tolerance. An individual’s risk appetite is central to determining which investment paths are appropriate and sustainable.

Risk Appetite
Risk appetite varies from person to person based on multiple factors such as age, income, education, financial responsibilities, and personal experiences. While some investors prefer the safety of traditional instruments like fixed deposits, others are comfortable navigating the volatility of equity markets for higher potential returns. Understanding how risk appetite influences financial decisions is crucial for designing effective investment strategies. This project delves into the dynamics between an individual's willingness to take financial risk and their long-term wealth accumulation.

Wealth Creation and Risk Appetite
Wealth creation is a fundamental financial goal for every individual. However, the approach to achieving this goal varies significantly based on one’s risk appetite - a personal measure of tolerance for uncertainty and potential loss in pursuit of financial returns.

Focus on Wealth Creation
While all of us here on this forum focus on credit card aspects, it is more important to focus on wealth creation. With some tricks one can gain a few % points on credit card spends, if one aims for wealth creation, one can indeed forego these paltry % points, and gain wealth many times over.

Study on Wealth Creation Based on Risk Appetite
There have been many studies already done in the world to connect these two aspects - wealth creation and risk appetite. Both are indeed connected. There are other factors also which come into play like age, income, financial goals, etc. From various open sources (websites, books, etc) a study on the subject has been carried out.

Types of Investors
The study is structured to analyse three categories of investors: low-risk, moderate-risk, and high-risk takers. Each group exhibits distinct investment behaviours, preferences, and portfolio allocations, which directly impact wealth creation potential over time.

Contents
The study is about 45 pages long. Most of the study is sourced from open source. The same are mentioned in references and bibliography. The contents are as under:-

Key Findings
Key findings highlight the importance of aligning investment strategies with risk tolerance, life stage, and financial goals. Diversification, systematic investing, and behavioural awareness emerge as critical success factors for wealth creation. This study offers practical recommendations for investors and financial advisors to foster disciplined, informed, and goal-oriented investment decisions and to build customized wealth creation strategies based on their unique risk tolerance, with the goal of achieving financial independence. Key findings indicate that aligning investment strategies with one's risk profile is essential for sustainable wealth creation. Moreover, financial literacy and guidance play a pivotal role in helping individuals evolve their risk appetite as their financial situation matures.

Final Thoughts
Wealth creation is a dynamic journey influenced by an individual’s willingness and ability to take risk. This study affirms that a tailored, disciplined investment approach aligned with personal risk appetite and financial objectives is the most effective way to build and preserve wealth. Ultimately, investor education and professional guidance can empower individuals to make informed decisions, mitigate risks, and optimize returns in their pursuit of financial security and growth.

Conclusion
I hope this study will be of some use to all the people looking for wealth creation. The study provides basic insights and perspectives without going into the details or specifics. It is aimed at giving general and fundamental insights into wealth creation based on an investors risk appetite.

Hope this is of help to some of us. 🙂

Very nice and MUCH needed thread.
If you allow, May I share 2-3 wonderful real stories.
 
Someone known to me aggressively putting all of his savings into mutual fund from the past 12-15 years.

Since 2018 both in mutual fund and in direct equity.

Many of his stocks are 2-5-10-20-30-40 X, Obviously few are below IPO/purchase rate as well.

Holding more than 100 stocks in N500 + some Micro and penny stock as well.

Even in 2020 fall and in recent fall he is calm.

I"ll share one example -

Around 150, I asked him to book partial profit in Ola, He said it's investment for long term, "I just have one retail lot of 15k".

Now ola is at 50, much below IPO price, still he is calm, no regrets.

I don't know and don't want to know, exactly how much compounding he is doing...how much he has invested so far in equity/MF....

One thing I know is "He is really a calm investor and that thing is paying him in his wealth creation Journey"

Your friend may be correct. I was allotted Zomato retail share of 15k during ipo allotment. The share price went to 110 and I added 1100 shares at the average price of 115 based on recommendation of various big fund houses . Then, started the slide and the price went to 50. I kept calm like your friend but 60 % of your money gone. I felt bad why I did not kept the stop loss which could have saved my portfolio. Being fed up, i sold all the shares at average price of 60 and came out of the stock. I have a good risk appetite but I felt very badly. I don't want to see Zomato in my portfolio. Now, the share price went upto 290 and quoting at 260. Patience might have paid which I do not have. However, stoploss is also a good concept and you friend may not be right everytime as share market is always a puzzle.
 
Two stories are identical - not so aggressive, not so conservative, mixed approach.

Both in equity and debt.

Mainly dividend yielding, bonus, growth oriented approach in equity.

15 + years of investor in MF of equity and gold.

(Diversification in gold MF.- more than 10 X in Gold)

Prefer to do extra work and generate extra income, other than main work.(SIDE Business). Very hardworking and focused.

They do Book regular tax Free profit YOY and reinvest regularly.

Part of wealth in real estate.

Stick with their private banks from past 15 + years one is with HDFC, one is with Kotak.(Premium Banking)

Any point of time, clear of XIRR/ Compounding growth.

Sometime they have that much of energy (speaking about portfolio and plans and market commentary) difficult for me to handle.
