Business:Investing
In this episode, we explore an unrefined, yet accurate, approach to determining your risk tolerance.
Beyond traditional risk tolerance questionnaires that often fluctuate with market conditions, we introduce two key criteria:
Freak Out Number - Discover how to assess your decline tolerance in dollar terms, examining at what point you'd feel the need to make significant changes to your portfolio. We address the impact of market fluctuations on risk perception and why it's essential to cut the 'freak out number' in half during turbulent times.
Required Growth as Dictated by Your Financial Plan - Understand the importance of aligning your portfolio's risk level with your retirement income plan. Find out why a well-funded plan might allow for a lower-risk approach, while a distribution-heavy plan may require a different strategy.
