Risk versus return

This option has a significant emphasis on growth assets with the aim of achieving higher returns, together with some lower-risk defensive assets to reduce the short-term risks associated with growth assets. The value may vary significantly up or down over the short term. A negative annual return is anticipated on average 4-6 times every 20 years but negative returns may be more or less frequent.
