The risk landscape is rapidly evolving, and wealth managers are seeking out new solutions to measure and manage risk for their clients’ investment portfolios. This area of financial planning goes well beyond a risk tolerance number, but, is technology keeping up? 

In this episode, Shannon Rosic, director of WealthStack Content and Solutions, speaks with risk management expert, Rick Bookstaber and Govinda Quish, CEO and co-founder of Fabric, about how they differentiate themselves from other risk management tools out on the market.

Shannon, Rick and Govinda discuss:

  • Why financial advisors have evolved into a personal risk advisor
  • How the commoditization of data has changed the risk management landscape
  • The material risks that will impact individuals in 2023 and beyond 
  • How the platform provides the wealth management industry with institution-level risk management
