Our most recent issue of Worth Considering highlighted the importance of having a good understanding of your own risk tolerance. Risk tolerance is a subjective issue that will change over time but it can still be very useful to occasionally measure it. By knowing what our risk tolerance is, we can do a better job as investors.
As promised, we have attached a detailed risk tolerance evaluation tool. The questions contained in it should help you find your personal score. This Questionnaire isn’t perfect but by taking 15 minutes or so to complete it, you will do yourself and us a great service.
Many of the people receiving this have been with us for many years and over time attitudes about risk can change. This form gives us an updated view of your situation and will help us to do a better job for you.
We find that sometimes clients can be more or less risk tolerant than they my think. Hopefully this process will help you understand your own investment aptitude more clearly.
As noted in the instructions, this is a “fillable” document that you can complete and then email back to us as an attachment. If you have any questions about it, don’t hesitate to contact us.
