Today, there are various mechanisms to determine your risk profile, including simulation tools that can define it with just a few simple questions. However, there is nothing like knowing yourself. We introduce you to Juan, Marta, and Macarena, examples of the quintessential investment profiles. With whom do you identify the most?
Juan is 64 years old, lives in Málaga with his wife, and is about to retire. He owns two properties, one that he uses as his primary residence and another that he rents out.
He has 100,000 euros that he has diligently saved over the years in his bank. His children are already in the workforce, and his main financial goal is to ensure his savings do not lose purchasing power so he can live comfortably in retiremen.
Juan has never invested in the stock market; he placed his savings in a deposit account recommended by his bank. However, he would like to achieve a bit more return over a longer period than what deposits offer. Juan is afraid of losing his money and prefers to earn less return rather than suffer a decline in his savings.

She lives with her parents and has an average monthly expense of 200€ on entertainment and another 150€ on her car payment. Macarena has a high savings capacity; she knows she is young and has her whole life ahead of her, so she can afford to start planning to buy a house in 10 or 15 years.
