Since bottoming out in March 2009, the S&P 500 and the stock market, in general, have gone on a bull market run. No one can predict when that will end or when the next big downturn will occur, but investors can make a choice about how they want their money managed.
The options are fairly simple: 1) “Buy and hold” strategies that most certainly will decline significantly in the next stock market crash or 2) “active money management” where managers are managing risk first in their strategies.

Most consumers have no idea of the true risk of their investments in the stock market. Our RIA uses OnPointe Risk Analyzer to score the risk of a consumer’s current portfolio. We then compare that score to the client’s personal risk score to see if they are in “alignment.” Most will NOT be in alignment at which time we’ll look at our model portfolios to determine which ones are in alignment and will be more suitable for the client (in an effort to help them achieve better risk-adjusted returns).
