Brian Crowell Mayor, City of Thornton, Iowa
Published in the Pioneer Enterprise on
Thursday, December 18th, 2014.
Seek to Balance “Risk Tolerance” and “Required Risk”
Like everyone else, you have financial goals.
To help achieve these goals, you may need to invest — and when you invest, you’ll need to take on
some risk. But the more you understand this risk,
and the better you are at managing it, the greater
your potential for staying invested for the long term.
To begin with, then, take a look at these terms:
Risk tolerance — Your risk tolerance is essentially
your comfort level with taking risk. For example, if
you have a high tolerance for risk, you may be comfortable investing aggressively. Conversely, if you
tend to be risk-averse, you might lean more toward
more conservative investment vehicles that offer
greater protection of principal.
Required risk — While the term “required risk”
may sound odd, it is actually an integral component
of your ability to invest successfully. Basically, your
required risk is the level of risk necessary to help you
achieve your investment goals. The higher the return
necessary to reach those goals, the more potential risk
you’ll need to assume.
As you invest, you’ll need to balance these two aspects of risk. For example, what might happen if you
have a low risk tolerance, leading you toward “safer,” low-growth investments, but your goal
is to retire early? For most people, this goal
requires them to invest in vehicles that offer
significant growth potential, such as stocks.
And, as you know, investing in stocks entails
risk — specifically, the risk that your stocks
will lose value. So in this situation, your risk
tolerance — the fact that you are risk-averse
— is going to collide with your required risk
level, the amount of risk you are going to need
to take (by investing in stocks) to achieve your
goal of early retirement.
When such a collision occurs, you have
two choices. First, you could “stretch” your
risk tolerance and accept the need to take on
riskier investments in exchange for the growth
potential you will require. Your other choice
is to stay within your risk tolerance and ad-
just your ultimate goal — which, in this example, may
mean accepting a later retirement date.
Obviously, this is a personal decision. However,
you may have more flexibility than you might have
imagined. For instance, you might feel that you should
be risk-averse because you have seen so many fluctuations in the financial markets. But if you have many
decades to go until you retire, you actually do have
time to recover from short-term losses, which means
you may be able to reasonably handle more volatility. On the other hand, once you’re retired, you won’t
have as many years to bounce back from market
downturns, so you’ll have less “risk capacity” than
you did when you were younger.
In any case, by balancing your risk tolerance and
your required risk level — and by understanding your
risk capacity — you can be better prepared to take
the emotion out of investing. When investors let their
emotions get the better of them, they can make mistakes such as chasing “hot” stocks or selling quality
investments due to temporary price drops. By having
a clear sense of what risk really entails, however, you
may be able to avoid costly detours — and stick with
your long-term investment strategy.

Committees In Iowa House
House Democratic Leader Mark Smith of Des Moines has appointed
Representative Sharon Steckman of Mason City to several key posts for
the upcoming 2015 legislative session. Steckman was selected by her peers
to serve as assistant leader earlier this month. She was selected to serve

Administration and Rules committees.
“As a former teacher, Rep. Steckman is a strong leader for the House
Democrats and is able to work across the aisle,” said Smith. “Her experience
in the classroom will help build Iowa’s educational system to create a highly
skilled workforce here in Iowa.”
“I am honored to be chosen to be a part of the House Democrats leadership.
We have made great strides to ensuring a better future for our children,”
said Steckman. “I believe both sides can work together to improve student
achievement and expand the middle class so Iowans have the resources to
succeed.”
Representative Sharon Steckman was elected to a fourth term in the Iowa
House in November.
The 86th General Assembly will convene its first day of session on
