In English we are not interested in the motivation or preference of investors, simply in what they are looking for: low, medium or high risk investors. The other answers here are simply losing themselves in over literal translations.

Low risk threshold investors


Explanation:
I don't think 'propensión' is redundant in English, and in this context I'd translate it by "threshold."

disagree  Edward Tully: This does not exist as a compound noun in this (or any other) context.//What is your answer if not a compound noun? I really can't believe that it's an attempt at anything else.//Nice attitude, have a nice day.
4 hrs
  -> At least it makes an attempt, the only attempt on view so far, to translate"propensión" .And since when, and on whose say so must it be a" compound noun" anyway?.//You obviously haven't understood my question. Forget it.

risk-averse investors


Explanation:
I think its referring to the attitude of the investors towards risk, not their level of risk, so risk-averse is more accurate and sounds better. In my experience its the most used term.

That is, the fund is directed towards / intended for investors who prefer a low level of risk, they are risk-averse. Not investors who would represent a low risk to the entity managing the fund, which is what an especially literal reading of "directed at low risk investors" says to me.

agree  Charles Davis: Yes

agree  Simon Bruni: Also

disagree  Oliver Toogood: No.It's based on a false assumption.//That low risk investors are averse to investing. They aren't per se, they just need greater security (of calculated return) before actually parting with their hard-earned.
1 hr
  -> Exactly - they are averse to risk, not investing. They need greater security in their investments, hence in economic and financial circles they are referred to as risk-averse.

those who prefer low-risk investments


Explanation:
Wordier, but doesn't have the potentially negative connotation that "risk-averse" does. Agree with others that "low-risk investors" is not quite specific enough.

Or: "Investors who prefer a low level of risk" (not as idiomatic, IMO).

agree  Gad Kohenov: +
1 hr
  -> many thanks! ;-)
agree  Simon Bruni: yep, this is the simplest (and therefore the best) way of saying it. I would hyphenate (low-risk investor) to avoid confusion with short people who invest in risk ;)
4 hrs
  -> many thanks! ;-)
agree  Maria-Jose Pastor
4 hrs
  -> many thanks! ;-)
disagree  Oliver Toogood: Interesting logic from Simon there,who thinks that the lowest common denominator by definition produces the highest yield in terms of end-user benefits.I don't.Nor do I think this is the correct translation of the question asked.//Poppycock logic @1day11h
4 hrs
  -> It is, however, the standard term in the insurance industry.//Glad to see the asker recognised the right answer; sorry you couldn't justify either your answer or your disagree with mine and have had to resort to insults.
