Risk tolerance is an investor’s ability to remain invested during downward market cycles in exchange for a potential return.
Within the initial review, we help you understand your risk threshold. We do this by deploying a Value at Risk (VaR) Analysis that helps us quantify attitudes toward financial uncertainty, specifically one’s emotional tolerance with respect to the magnitude and speed of potential investment loss.
This analysis produces a VaR Score that is indexed on a scale from conservative to aggressive. The VaR Score can help us determine if the current portfolio aligns with your risk tolerance and provides insight as to whether changes to that portfolio are needed.
At Firm Foundation Wealth Advisors, we believe the value of retirement planning isn’t found in a single account, investment, or product—it is found in the power of coordination.
Our process begins by establishing your foundation. By utilizing The Three Income Engines, we help design structured income strategies to cover day-to-day living expenses, seek stability through volatile market conditions, and capture growth-oriented investments designed to help preserve purchasing power. This keeps your assets working for you in a tax-efficient manner that preserves wealth and designed to help keep you funded for both planned goals and unexpected opportunities.
With your foundation set, we then address The Five Pillars of Retirement—ensuring your income, investments, taxes, healthcare, and legacy are fully aligned. By coordinating these elements into a single, cohesive strategy, we aim to help you transition into retirement with confidence, knowing your plan is built around your goals, your values, and your life.
