Managing your investment risk

Jen Lancaster True Bearing

When it comes to managing your wealth, don’t risk it by going it alone and, instead, engage the services of an expert.

Whether you are investing for the long term or are accumulating your wealth ahead of retirement, all investments carry a certain degree of risk.

Some present higher stakes than others, with a higher potential upside counterbalanced by a greater chance of significant losses.

High-risk investments provide a larger percentage chance of under-performance, lost capital or a permanent loss of value, but often with a greater chance of significant growth.

Low-risk investments are safer and more secure, meaning they are more likely to perform in line with expectations.

This ensures a lower chance of failure, but also a lesser likelihood of significant growth.

At True Bearing we pride ourselves on putting you, our client, first, and creating your plan before we even look at products.

We know you have worked hard to earn the money you are looking to invest, and we will make sure we recommend a long-term approach to help that money grow over time.

Being independent helps as it means we aren’t tied to just one or two solutions to present to you.

We also pride ourselves on our knowledge in the world of sustainable, ethical, impact and socially responsible investments and are happy to walk you through the differences.

The value of investments may fluctuate in price or value and you may get back less than the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a guide to the future.
