• The client reads numerous financial publications and follows markets closely.

• Although concerned about the current health of the global economy, the client maintains that he is a long-term investor.

选项：

A.High ability to take risk but a low willingness to take risk B.High ability to take risk and a high willingness to take risk C.Low ability to take risk but a high willingness to take risk

解释：

Solution

B is correct. The client is in a strong financial situation (stable job, no debt), has a reasonably long time horizon before needing any liquidity (10 years), and reasonable retirement spending needs relative to total assets. These factors indicate a high ability to take risk. In addition, the client’s knowledge of financial markets, experience, and focus on the long term also indicate a high willingness to take risk.

A is incorrect because the client’s investing knowledge, experience, and focus on long-term investing indicate a willingness to withstand investment risk.

C is incorrect because the client has a high ability to withstand investment risk for the reasons identified above.
