Show Notes

This week on Retirement Results, we tackle a critical question: how would your portfolio respond if the market dropped tomorrow?

As you move closer to retirement, managing risk becomes just as important as generating returns. Ford Stokes and Sam Davis explain why understanding your true exposure to market volatility is essential and how stress-testing your retirement plan can reveal vulnerabilities before they become costly mistakes.

The discussion focuses on minimizing unnecessary risk, protecting income, and aligning your investment strategy with your timeline. Because when you are approaching or living in retirement, you do not have the same margin for recovery that younger investors may have.

At Active Wealth, we believe retirement planning should be proactive, measured, and built to withstand uncertainty — not dependent on market optimism.
