Our Approach

"We work to keep what you have worked so hard to achieve."

At Financial Resources Group, we operate as independent financial advisors. This independence allows us to provide advice based on our clients’ individual financial situations, goals, and risk tolerance. We are not obligated to a specific company. Fortunately, this means we are free to choose the products and services that we think are best for you, rather than what any “company” requires us to sell you. 

The Rule of 100

Financial Resources Group believes asset allocation plays a critical role in your retirement portfolio. We believe investors should focus more on avoiding loss of principal in retirement. You see, they do not have the time to replace money lost if there is a market downturn.

For many years, a widely used rule of thumb for financial professionals and investors to simplify asset allocation was the rule of 100. What is the Rule of 100? It states that an investor’s risk tolerance should be based on their age. Therefore, as you get older, the percentage of your money kept safe should be your age. For example, a 70-year-old should have 70% of their investments in accounts where they’ll stay protected. The other 30%, meanwhile, can be kept in more “risky” investments. This rule is a helpful starting point for asset allocations.

WHAT IS YOUR RISK TOLERANCE?

I am 60 years old. 100 - (minus) 60 = 40. I have a 40% Risk Tolerance:
Risk Tolerance 40%
