Quantifying Your Risk Tolerance

Properly assessing your risk tolerance is one of the most vital factors in our financial planning process. Itโ€™s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Simply using your age to determine how aggressive or conservative you should be with your investment portfolio isnโ€™t the best strategy. We use an objective tool called Nitrogen to help provide clarity.

Nitrogen allows us to accurately pinpoint your acceptable level of risk, and in our experience weโ€™ve found the tool offers an unparalleled level of accuracy. By completing a 5-minute questionnaire, Nitrogen takes portfolio size, financial goals, and what youโ€™re willing to risk for potential gains and assigns you a unique risk number. We use that objective number to construct a portfolio well-aligned with your risk preferences.
