Risk appetite

Risk Appetite Check

Take the quick risk appetite check first.

Answer eight plain-English questions. If you already entered account values, the quiz will use your real numbers so the tradeoffs feel more real.

If your invested accounts went from $100,000 to $90,000, what would you most likely do? If your account went from $100,000 to $75,000, how would that feel? How long before you need meaningful withdrawals? Which statement feels most like you? If your account dropped by $25,000, how often would you check it? If the market had a rough year right after you retired, what would you be willing to do? If safer investments earned less but bounced around less, what would you choose? Investment experience:
