Risk tolerance refers to an investor’s willingness and ability to endure potential losses within their investment portfolio. It is a personal assessment of how much volatility or downside risk an individual is comfortable with. Risk tolerance is influenced by factors such as financial goals, time horizon, investment knowledge, and individual temperament. Investors with higher risk tolerance are more comfortable with the possibility of larger fluctuations in their portfolio’s value, while those with lower risk tolerance prefer more conservative investments with lower potential for losses. Assessing risk tolerance helps investors align their investment choices with their individual comfort levels and financial objectives.
