(e.g., retirement, income, wealth growth) 📉 How comfortable are they with short-term market declines? 💰 What is their net worth and liquidity position? 📊 Do you use a risk scoring system (e.g., 1–10 scale, conservative/moderate/aggressive)? 🔁 When was their last risk profile review, and should we track changes over time? 💡 Tip: If unsure, default to a 3-tier risk category (Conservative / Moderate / Aggressive) with a profile review every 12 months. 💡 F – Format of Output The client risk profile record should include: | Client Name | Age | Time Horizon | Risk Tolerance | Risk Capacity | Risk Score/Category | Investment Objective | Recommended Allocation | Last Reviewed | Advisor Notes | Optional fields: Behavioral Considerations, Spouse/Partner Risk Alignment, Compliance Notes, Review Frequency Output format: Exportable to CRM, PDF, or advisory software Includes summary dashboard and flags for review Suitable for client records, audits, and investment committee review 🧠 T – Think Like a Fiduciary + Behavioral Advisor ✔️ Align recommended portfolios with both tolerance and capacity ✔️ Reassess risk after major life events or market shifts ✔️ Track drift between client comfort and portfolio volatility ✔️ Add insights to help guide advisor discussions Sample notes: 🔍 Risk score of 3 (Moderate) — prefers growth but panicked in 2020 downturn ⚠️ High capacity, low tolerance — consider more diversified income strategy ✅ Reviewed Q1 2025 — no change in score, added ESG preference note
