Riskalyze Tool

·March 31, 2023

Did you know our firm utilizes Riskalyze, the world’s first risk alignment platform, which mathematically pinpoints how much risk investors want, how much risk they currently have in their portfolio, and how much risk they need to take to reach their goals?

Built on a Nobel Prize-winning framework, Riskalyze quantifies the semantics of the financial advice industry, replacing confusing and subjective terms like “moderately conservative” and “moderately aggressive” with the Risk Number ® , a number between 1 and 99 that pinpoints a client’s exact comfort zone for downside risk and potential upside gain with a 95% Probability Range. Advisors then build an investment portfolio to match the client’s Risk Number and chart a clearly defined path to achieving the client’s goals.

Each client has a Risk Number for their overall portfolio as well as for each account we manage. We can also include their outside portfolios, like a 401k, if we have access to those holdings in our planning software. The integration with Emoney has been valuable in viewing the big picture when it comes to portfolio risk.

If you would like to take the risk questionnaire, please reach out and we will send you a link. If you would like to review your personal risk score, we are happy to share the results and discuss with you.

Riskalyze was twice named one of the world’s ten most innovative companies in finance by Fast Company Magazine and has appeared twice on the Forbes FinTech50 list.

“Successful long-term financial outcomes are built by investors making one good short term decision at a time, and that only happens when great advisors equip them to do so,” said Aaron Klein, CEO at Riskalyze.

About Riskalyze:

Riskalyze is the company that invented the Risk Number ® , which powers the world’s first Risk Alignment Platform and was built on top of a Nobel Prize-winning academic framework.
