At Jackson Wealth Management, we believe that every investment decision should be grounded in your unique goals, financial situation, and comfort with risk. One of the most effective ways to help ensure your portfolio aligns with these factors is by completing a Risk Tolerance Assessment. This simple yet insightful step will help you understand your personal risk tolerance, providing a clear foundation for making informed investment choices.

What is a Risk Tolerance Assessment?

A Risk Tolerance Assessment is a questionnaire designed to measure your comfort level with investment risks. Through a series of questions, the assessment evaluates how you respond to different market scenarios, your investment preferences, and your financial goals. This information generates a risk score that we use to tailor your investment strategy, balancing potential growth with risk management to work toward your financial objectives.

Why Knowing Your Risk Score Matters

Your risk score serves as a guide to creating a portfolio that feels right for you. Here’s how it can help:

• Aligns Your Portfolio with Your Comfort Level
  A risk score lets us know if you’re more conservative, moderate, or aggressive in your investment approach, helping to ensure you’re comfortable with the level of risk in your portfolio.

• Helps Set Realistic Expectations
  Understanding your risk tolerance allows us to match your investment strategy with your expectations for growth and market fluctuations.

• Guides Investment Choices and Adjustments
  Your risk tolerance informs decisions about asset allocation, diversification, and adjustments over time, so your portfolio continues to support your goals as they evolve.

What to Expect in the Risk Tolerance Questionnaire

Our Risk Tolerance Assessment, provided by Advisory World, consists of six questions designed to uncover your preferences, goals, and comfort level with risk. These questions cover aspects like:

• Your reaction to market changes
• Your financial objectives and timeline
• Your preference for stability versus growth potential

The result is a personal risk score that helps us create a custom investment strategy that aligns with both your goals and comfort with risk.
