Everyone we work with will have a different comfort level when it comes to risk, which we account for when building a plan. But what does it mean when someone tells us they are risk averse?
The empirical answer is that person believes they can’t tolerate many short or intermediate losses in their investment account, but that might not actually be the case in actuality. A lot of times people don’t want to be as risk averse when the economy is expanding at the market is chugging upwards. But when things begin to reverse, it’s fascinating to watch how people change their risk profile.
