Risk Assessment Tool

Riskalyze is the world’s number 1 risk assessment software which helps set clear expectations regarding investment choices. Instead of assigning generic risk tolerance terms such as aggressive or conservative, Riskalyze provides a specific quantitative Risk Number® to each investor. They take a scientific approach backed by Nobel Prize winning research, to objectively determine an investor’s risk tolerance and quantify suitability for investment vehicles.


Too often clients don’t understand how their objectives relate to their expected and actual returns. Establishing investment return expectations using risk instead of average rates of return results in better informed and happier clients. Clients are able to update their Risk Number, check balances and view goal progress.


BENEFIT TO YOU: Using Riskalyze allows us to more effectively evaluate your risk tolerance and personal investment preferences to make recommendations that meet your needs.
