Assessments

Driven By Behavioral Psychology

Have you ever filled out a risk profile questionnaire whenever opening an investment account? You should have! But it was more than likely just a simple set of questions about your age, income, and investable assets. In years past, the risk tolerance question had investors select Low, Medium, or High. What do most people select? Most just select Medium. That's very basic and does little to assist your advisor in recommending a personalized solution.

79 Financial’s process includes proper risk evaluation based on behavioral psychology. Don't worry, we’re not going to pull out the couch and ask questions about your childhood. But we will use assessments to help us both discover more about your money mindset and how you view and respond to risk.

Risk Profile

The Investor Profile was built based upon the science of psychometrics, the science of measuring unseen characteristics. Using a competency modeling approach, the Investor Profile provides details on your investing personality. Knowing your composure, confidence, and attitudes towards market movements helps us guide you into an allocation that best meets your risk tolerance yet also projects an acceptable probability in achieving future goals.

Financial Perspectives

This assessment provides a quick, yet in-depth, understanding of financial attitudes and outlook in several different areas, such as investing, budgeting, and spending.
