Discover Your Risk Number with 
Everyone Has a Risk Number®
- Do You Know Yours?
When it comes to your finances, Risk and Reward hang on a delicate balance. We encourage you to check out this complimentary Risk Analysis Questionnaire, where your risk tolerance behaviors are gauged by hypothetical market events and how you may react to them. This may help you to determine if your portfolio's risk exposure is still allocated in accordance with your current needs.
Upon completion, you will receive a Risk Number® between 1 and 99. The scale is simple: 1 = most conservative, willing to take on least amount of risk; 99 = willing to take on significant, most amount of risk.
You do not need to be a 4PWT client to access this powerful tool.

What is the function of a Risk Number®?
A Risk Number® is an objective way to quantitatively measure an investor's true risk tolerance and the amount of risk present in a particular investment portfolio.
You will be designated a Risk Number® proportional to how you respond to the Risk Questionnaire. This estimated Risk Number® will be presented to you for review once you have completed the questionnaire.
What is a GPA and what does it do?
It is a quantitative expression of the efficiency of an investment, strategy, or portfolio with respect to how much return is realized or expected per unit of risk.
