When markets turn, the investors who fare best are not always the boldest. They are often the ones whose portfolios were built around a clear understanding of how much loss they could genuinely afford. That understanding, known as risk capacity, helps shape sound investment decisions. 

The Bongiorno Group’s Head of Wealth, Maddison Price, joins Ricky Caldow, Director, to explore how capacity differs from tolerance and why time horizon sits at the heart of it. 

Capacity, not comfort, should set the boundaries of any investment strategy. By matching investments to their intended timeframe and holding enough in reserve to ride out a downturn, investors can avoid being forced to sell at the worst possible time. Tolerance then determines where within those boundaries they choose to sit.
