About This Course

In the old days investment advisors sought to get their clients to take the most risk they could tolerate – “risk tolerance” meant maximum risk. This evolved into limiting risk to what is required to achieve objectives, but the evolution is incomplete. 60/40 stocks/bonds remains the pat solution, but it is not right for many investors, especially baby boomers.
