Risk tolerance is one of the biggest factors in your investment decision process. Tony talks about how to decide how much risk to take depending on your circumstances, goals and individual comfort level when it comes to risk.KEY TAKEAWAYS
Consider how you would feel if your investments lost money in the short term. If this makes you anxious, you may be significantly risk averse. If you are comfortable with this circumstance, however, you may be able to take on more risk.Understanding if you are comfortable with volatility or stability and slower growth will help you decide which investments to make and over what time period.There is no such thing as a no risk investment but manage it by diversifying over the long term.BEST MOMENTS‘Your potential returns available from different kinds of investment and the risk involved change over time as a result of economic, political and regulatory developments.’ ‘Volatility is a measure of how much prices fluctuate over time. Investments that are more volatile have bigger ups and downs in value, while less volatile investments will have slower steadier price increases.’‘An interest rate risk is a particular risk for bond holders. We all have our own individual risk tolerance, and it's important to establish what that is.’VALUABLE RESOURCESTony Talks Wealth - https://omny.fm/shows/tony-talks-wealth  Sign Up Now For Exclusive Tony Talks Wealth Content at https://www.patreon.com/TTWealth  ABOUT THE HOSTTony Thomas is a published author, one of the top financial advisers in the UK voted for by his clients, the first Chartered Financial Planner in the UK, Independent Financial Adviser, Mentor, Trainer.

Tony talks about how to make the most of your pension pot so you can get back to dreaming about your retirement and not dreading it. Many people are feeling financial pressure at the moment, and it can be difficult to consider the future, but even with current conditions there are ways you can maximise your pension opportunities. 
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When offered the opportunity to join a workplace pension it is always a good idea to do so due to the contributions they make. You also get extra money from the government in your tax payments on any contributions you make. The state pension will not cover everything. Keep on track of all your pension plans. It is important to have a retirement lifestyle in mind so you have an idea of how much money you will require.        
BEST MOMENTS
‘Your employer's contribution on top of that which at the very least must be equivalent to three percent of your earnings.’ 
‘Each time you defer paying into a pension plan you miss out on the extra boost of tax relief from the government.’ 
‘It’s important to remember that the state pension won’t be available until your late sixties.’
