Risk Tolerance

What is Risk Tolerance?

How much loss an investor is willing and able to accept in pursuit of returns.

Understanding Risk Tolerance

Risk tolerance combines willingness (how losses feel) and capacity (how much loss your finances can absorb).

It guides asset allocation: lower tolerance usually means more bonds and cash.
