How well do you understand financial risk? On the face of it, it might seem obvious. If you invest in emerging markets, then it\u2019s very high risk. Your investments could fluctuate wildly, and you could lose everything. On the other hand, if you keep your money in National Savings, it\u2019s very low risk, since the government guarantees your capital. So once you know how tolerant you are of the risk of losing capital, should you simply choose investments with the corresponding balance of risk versus reward? Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is \u201cno\u201d.<\/p>\n

The kind of risk we just described is what usually comes to mind when we think of financial risk. When investments fluctuate, it\u2019s known as \u201cvolatility\u201d. An investment with high volatility is riskier than an investment with low volatility. We\u2019re talking about short-term risk here. Over the long term, a risky investment may perform better than a safer one, but you might have to tolerate a very bumpy ride.<\/p>\n

Long Term Financial Risk<\/h2>\n

\"bankrupt\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at things a different way. Suppose you invest \u00a310,000 today, and plan to leave it to grow for 20 years. After this time, you know that you\u2019ll need to withdraw at least \u00a320,000 so you can pay off your mortgage debt. So you need to double your money. If you fail, no matter by how small an amount, you\u2019ll lose your home. (Yes, I know that’s a bit harsh, but it’s just an example!) Let\u2019s say that you have to choose between these two possible investments:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A fixed term National Savings bond that generates 3.5% compound interest per year.<\/li>\n
  2. A unit trust investment in stocks and shares that has a 50-50 chance of at least doubling your money in 20 years, but a 1-in-4 chance of you ending up with less money that you started.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The first choice will produce approximately \u00a319,900 after 20 years, which is \u00a3100 short of your target. It therefore has no chance at all of achieving your goal. But as an investment it has no risk at all of losing capital.<\/p>\n

    The second choice is clearly the right one, no matter what your attitude to short-term risk is. You’d have a 50-50 chance of losing your home. But with the first choice you\u2019d be certain to lose your home. The long-term risk of the second choice is less (much, much less) than that of the first choice.<\/p>\n

    Spending Risk<\/h2>\n

    \"flexibility\"<\/p>\n

    As we\u2019ve seen, a good decision from a short-term risk perspective might be a bad one for long-term risk. Is that the end of the story? No, there\u2019s more. Let\u2019s say you\u2019re a retiree whose income is derived from drawing down on your investments. Then you might hope to set a level of spending that would be comfortable if continued for the rest of your life, adjusted each year for inflation. Depending on the kind of investments you hold, let\u2019s say that at the start you estimate the risk of going broke to be 5%. Now let\u2019s say that your investments lose 10% of their value in the first year. Your risk of running out have money will have certainly increased. So you have a choice:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. You could hope that over time your investments will recover, and continue spending at the same level.<\/li>\n
    2. Or you could adjust your spending downwards, so that the risk of going broke by sticking to that level is once again 5%.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      By following a strategy of always adjusting your spending, you may be able to reduce your risk of going broke to zero, or to very close to zero. But there\u2019s a cost, in that you\u2019d have to be willing to tolerate fluctuating spending. So by consciously following the second strategy, you\u2019re converting the long-term risk of going broke into a continuous risk of having to vary your spending. For many people, being more flexible in their spending is preferable to living with the risk of going broke.<\/p>\n

      It\u2019s not quite so black and white though. There\u2019s likely a minimum level below which your spending mustn\u2019t drop. This limits the extent to which you can adjust your spending, so you may not be able to completely eliminate the risk of going broke.<\/p>\n

      Juggling Financial Risk<\/h2>\n

      \"juggle-financial-risk\"<\/p>\n

      We\u2019ve identified three different types of financial risk:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Short-term risk of investment fluctuations.<\/li>\n
      2. Long-term risk of going broke.<\/li>\n
      3. Spending risk \u2013 having to be flexible in our spending patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        As a retiree, can you eliminate all of these risks? Yes, by buying a lifetime annuity with index-linked payments. But the income you get from an annuity may not meet your spending aspirations, especially with annuity rates as low as they currently are. Also the annuity will die with you, so there\u2019s normally no legacy. And there\u2019s always the slight risk that the insurance company paying the annuity will go bust.<\/p>\n

        There\u2019s a trade-off to be made between tolerance of the different types of risk and the amount you\u2019re hoping to spend. How you juggle these risks depends very much upon your own attitudes. For example, there\u2019s no point following a strategy that involves high risk investments if you\u2019re likely to panic-sell when the market drops, even if this strategy is the best one for reducing long-term risk. And there\u2019s no point deciding to be flexible in your spending if in practice you\u2019re unable to control your spending impulses. You need to select a strategy that\u2019s both objectively sensible and<\/em> that\u2019s achievable for you to stick to.<\/p>\n

        Conclusion<\/h2>\n

        Maybe you\u2019re fortunate enough to have all your retirement spending needs met by a defined benefit pension. If not, you\u2019re going to have to juggle risk against reward, and juggle different types of risks against each other. This is a complex task, which needs help from a qualified financial adviser.<\/p>\n

        EvolveMyRetirement\u00ae, the Intelligent Financial Calculator<\/a>, has built-in rules that help it juggle risk against reward, based upon your stated attitudes and preferences. This can give you an excellent indication of your best strategy, and help set your expectations before taking matters further with your financial adviser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
