Empowering Investors with Riskalyze with Chris Quandt (Ep. 4)

Halloween is right around the corner and it’s the time of year where everything gets a little spookier, including the markets.

One way of ensuring clients feel confident about their investments and less eerie of the markets is by providing a tool like Riskalyze.

Chris discusses:

  • What Riskalyze is and how it helps measure risk tolerance 
  • How taking risks with your finances can be scarier than any 80’s horror film
  • Why every Gen Xer should know their risk number
  • His favorite childhood Halloween memories 
  • And more
