Risky Business: Dynamics at play in risk assessments and risk mapping

NextWealth’s Risky Business report forms part of our Adviser Tech Stack series. Financial advisers and planners employ varied methods to help clients comprehend investment risk, capacity for loss, sequencing risk, and the risk of not achieving financial goals. Some firms merely reference risk discussions in meeting notes, while others dedicate entire meetings to the topic. Tools such as attitude to risk questionnaires (ATRQs) and cash flow modelling are integral, especially for clients entering or in retirement, supported by tailored conversations.
