Gus Krafve - Financial Advisor in Springfield, MO | Ameriprise Financial

Price fluctuations of securities are a normal part of a full market cycle, so it's important to put them into perspective to stay on track with your financial goals. During market swings, you can be confident that the Ameriprise Investment Research Group and I are carefully watching the markets.

If you have specific questions or concerns, let’s work together to review your financial goals, risk tolerance and asset allocation strategy. I am here to help you to navigate these fluctuations and help ensure that you are well-positioned to achieve your financial goals.

No matter what the market may bring, I can help you feel more confident, connected and in control of your financial life.

When it comes to investing, risk and reward go hand in hand. The higher the risk, the higher the potential return, but also the greater the risk of loss.

Risk tolerance refers to your ability to endure market volatility. All investments come with some level of risk so it's important to be aware of how much volatility you can tolerate. How risk tolerant you are is important, because it is one of the basic factors in determining an appropriate investment strategy for you. Your risk tolerance can affect both the types of investments you own and the way you choose to diversify your portfolio.

Read more about risk tolerance and take the 5-question quiz to help you assess your own tolerance for risk. Then contact me to discuss your portfolio and how it meets your needs and risk tolerance.
