Investment Process

Investing with a purpose
It can be hard to get somewhere if you don’t know where you’re going. This is similar to those who don’t know how much they need to have saved and just focus on returns. Returns are tied to risk. If you are taking too much risk, you may not end up where you need to be when it comes time for retirement or for a large purchase.

Custom solutions to meet your investing needs
Townsend Financial Life Management creates investment solutions to meet your specific risk and returns characteristics for that account. Through the use of strategic diversification, alternative investment strategies, tactical overlays, and option strategies, Townsend Financial Life is able to build a portfolio to meet your needs.

Your tolerance to risk
A risk profile is designed to measure how you feel about risk at that point in time. Reaction to loss is an emotional response that can cause you to make bad decisions. A risk questionnaire along with your financial profile helps us to give the best recommendation to meet your risk tolerance, as well as risk capacity.
Asset allocation and diversification do not assure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment loss. As with any investment strategy, there is the possibility of profitability as well as loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. Certain complex options strategies carry additional risk.

Covered calls provide downside protection only to the extent of the premium received and limit upside potential to the strike price plus premium received.
