Support clients with staying on plan by helping them separate daily market volatility from the stability of their personal portfolio risk profile. Increase wallet share with existing clients and differentiate your offering to win new clients. Probe and capture current client risk tolerances for use in the risk oversight process. Monitor risk across all your clients and your firm's advisers to support both client engagement and compliance objectives. Become aware when embedded portfolio risks are approaching or exceeding any individual client's individual tolerances to proactively take remedial actions.

Learning Objectives:

• Evaluate risk modeling to help clients stay on plan and minimize the impact of emotions when thinking about, and reacting to, low probability but high impact events
• Analyze a portfolio mix to better reflect the risk tolerance of a client and assess potential remedial actions
• Compare strengths and weaknesses of some commonly used risk modeling techniques
