Many clients have only a vague sense of how much risk they can tolerate in their investment portfolio. We use a validated risk measurement tool to work through your personal risk profile and take the guesswork out of this critical planning element. The use of the risk measurement tool is balanced with your personal situation, needs and experiences that are discussed in our planning sessions. This helps determine your individual risk profile, which is then carefully reviewed and updated over the years to make sure that your plan is in line with your risk tolerance. Your personal profile will provide us with an ongoing benchmark for how much expected risk can be put into the investment portfolio and what the proportional expected return range can be.
