> A few weeks ago Hargreaves Lansdowne emailed me to warn me about the "risk" of my portfolio.
It'll make more sense if you know that IFAs look at stocks against other asset types - and stocks are relative more risky than bonds, gilts, cash etc. Single stocks are seen as high risk, and AIM stocks even more so. So your GGP investment is classified as high risk, but then so is everything else in AIM and even in the FTSE. In my opinion, the email you got isn't about your stock choice but your asset category choice- which is always going to be high risk because that's how shares are seen against other choices in the market.
