The Permanent Wealth Podcast 03: Adrian Johnson – Partner at Permanent Wealth Partners.
Adrian Johnson – Partner at Permanent Wealth Partners.
Please join Adrian & myself for a discussion on the most misunderstood word in finance today – Risk.
We dig deep into risk and try to unpick why it matters and the most common misconceptions around it.
Risk has a lot of pre-conceptions and actually is difficult for most people to think about. We want to try and remove the difficulty around the conversation.
We discuss:
- The dangers of the default strategy for most financial firms where a simple questionnaire determines your investment strategy
- The 3 specific tools we use when thinking about investment risk
- The debilitating downside version of risk and how you can easily protect yourself from it.
- Some simple mitigation techniques that can add significant value to your lifetime wealth
I hope you enjoy this discussion.
