Universal Investment Objective The goal of any investment portfolio should be to achieve the highest return for an acceptable amount of risk.
Identifying Constraints: Personal Risk Tolerance Where is Your Pain Point? • How much loss are you willing to accept in any given 12 month period? %
Identifying Constraints: Time Horizon • Investment returns become less volatile over time. The longer the time horizon, the less short term risk affects the account. • The account is an endowment which is considered “long term” however, • Drawdown policy of 5% requires a short term focus.
