The risk perception matrix includes a familiarity index, an association index, and a sensitivity index, wherein each index indicates a relative weight of corresponding parameters for the client's perception of risk. The system identifies one or more investment recommendations for the client from a pool of potential investments based on the risk perception matrix for the client, and presents the recommendations based at least on association parameters capturing subjects of personal relevance to the client. After receiving an acceptance or rejection for each of the one or more investment recommendation, the system updates the familiarity index, the association index, and/or the sensitivity index based on the accepted invention recommendations and rejected investment recommendations.
