VIDEO: Gauging Your Risk Tolerance: Building a Portfolio for Financial Independence

April 2, 2024

I get questions all the time from clients who want to understand risk tolerance. Questions like:  “What are the different types of investment risk?” “How much risk is just right?” and “How much risk is too much?” While those are all good questions, the truth is that investment risk tolerance is unique for each individual; it’s not possible to answer those questions in general terms. 

As a wealth-management professional, the real issue for me is how to help you, while you’re accumulating wealth, also match your risk tolerance with your individual financial goals.

Please watch this short video as I talk about how to manage your portfolio by balancing the amount of investment risk you take on with the unique return you want to achieve.
