I'm not sure how to answer your question other than I selected a moderately aggressive "growth" portfolio based on my age, number of years remaining to retirement and "risk tolerance" (for me, I consider myself "moderate).
I have a small investor edge account through CIBC which I use for my share awards and to invest on my own in companies I find interesting (we're talking <$10k in capital). My current portfolio consists of a couple small O&G companies, a royalties land company, a potash company, two rail related companies and a tech company. Over the past 2 years I've only averaged 6.67% ROR.
