Risk Profiles: Overview

Risk Profiles help advisors bridge the gap with clients when it comes to risk tolerance and investment recommendations. YCharts enables advisors to generate scalable, data-driven proposals with risk profile information; for large firms, home offices can also implement risk profiles firmwide to save advisors time and boost client satisfaction.

 

How to Build a Risk Profile:

1. Open Risk Profiles and select 'Create New' in the upper right corner.
