Overview
Your Money, Your ResponsibilityInvestment Philosophy
When it comes to investing, it is important to understand the concept of risk. Before determining how to invest your portfolio, you must have already answered the following questions:
– How much risk do I need to take in order to satisfy my goals?
– How much risk can I emotionally tolerate?
– How much risk can I financially afford to take?
– How much risk am I currently taking?
It is not possible to make effective investment decisions without having a clear picture of your own risk profile. Risk capacity and Risk Required are both elements of your rick profile that can be measured, calculated and monitored with time. Embedded into our culture at Lionshare Partners is a mindset of education – teaching out clients about all of financial planning and investments. We believe this approach creates an element of partnership that is very productive when striving to reach a common goal – your financial success.
