risk level changed

Hi

My risk level was changed from medium to cautious medium on my ISA investor last October, without me knowing.

I am now uping my regular payment into this and want to change some to medium and some to medium-adventurous

do you think i lost out a lot with the cautious medium or was it a good thing with the market?

    Did the investments change when your risk profile changed? If not - then no.

    Yes - the portfolio percentages changed as per the risk level

    I was still paying in £275 a month (worth £9k)

    Now upping to the £333

    It is hard to quantify this without knowing the percentages prior to and after the switch.

    Obviously the basic rule of the thumb is more risk-more return so a simple answer would be yes, however the degree to which cannot be determined though.
