What’s your investment risk tolerance?
Special to the Ledger
Risk is a normal part of
investing. If you didn’t
take on any risk, you
wouldn’t have the po
tential to achieve higher
returns. But how much
risk should you accept?
You don’t want to incur
unnecessary risk. So,
you’ll need to assess the
amount of risk you’re
comfortable taking and
then determine if this risk
level supports your ability
to achieve your long-term
goals.
Here are some of the
key factors in determin
ing your own capacity for
investment risk:
Personality - We all
have different personali
ties. And your individual
personality can certainly
affect your comfort level
with risk. If you enjoy
taking chances or push
ing yourself outside your
comfort zone in other
aspects of your life, you
could be more likely to
accept greater investment
risk, too, because you
know that greater risk
means greater potential
reward. Conversely, high
er-risk investments also
carry greater potential for
volatility, including steep
short-term declines.
Time - Risk toler
ance can change over
time. When you are
first starting out in your
career, with decades to go
until you retire, you may
feel comfortable with a
certain degree of invest
ment risk, knowing you
have time to potentially
overcome the inevitable
downturns in the finan
cial markets. But as you
near retirement, you
might consider lowering
your risk level and invest
ing more conservatively,
because once you do re
tire, you’ll likely have to
start withdrawing money
from your retirement
accounts, which means
you may need to liquidate
some investments - and,
ideally, you won’t want
to have large fluctuations
in value at that time.
However, even during
retirement, you may want
your portfolio to include
some growth-oriented
investments to help keep
you ahead of inflation.
Type of goal - You
might have different risk
tolerances for different
goals. For example, if you
know you need a specific
amount for a particular
goal in two years - such
as buying a new
car or taking
an overseas
vacation - you
may want to put
away money
in a low-risk,
liquid vehicle.
This type of in
vestment might
not have much
growth poten
tial, but for this goal,
you are less interested
in achieving a high rate
of return than you are in
being reasonably sure the
money will be there when
you need it. So, in this
instance, you may have
quite a low tolerance for
risk. But for a long-term
goal, such as a com
fortable retirement, you
may be prepared to take
more risk in the hopes of
greater returns, given the
longer time horizon.
By understanding your
risk tolerance and know
ing how it can change
over time and under dif
ferent circumstances, you
can be better prepared to
face investment volatility.
And there are certain
ly things you can do to
mitigate risk. By owning
a variety of investments
- domestic and in
ternational stocks,
bonds, mutual
funds, govern
ment securities
and so on - you
can reduce the
impact of market
volatility on your
portfolio. (Keep
in mind, though,
that diversification
can’t prevent all losses or
guarantee profits.)
In any case, the big
gest risk of all is simply
not investing. If you are
going to achieve your
financial goals, you need
to invest for them. By
understanding your own
risk tolerance, and by
making wise choices
along the way, you can
stick with an investment
strategy that can work for
you in the long run.
