Risk tolerance measures your willingness and ability to handle a loss in the value of your investments. It often changes as you age or your life changes. Understanding your risk tolerance can help you choose your investments, prepare for market changes and help save you a lot of stress.
It’s easy to feel confident in your investment strategy when the market is performing well, but the reality is that the market moves up and down in cycles over time. That’s why it’s important to understand your risk tolerance – because it helps you decide how much risk you take.
