Give every investment decision a purpose.
Before exploring a framework, establish what the money needs to do, when it may be needed, and how much uncertainty the household can accommodate.
Separate three questions about risk.
How does risk feel?
Discuss how market losses and uncertainty affect your willingness to remain invested.
What can the plan accommodate?
Review spending needs, time horizon, reserves, liabilities, and other sources of income.
What role does this account have?
A near-term withdrawal and a long-horizon goal may place different demands on the money.
Understand the process behind the portfolio.
From purpose to implementation
Consider account purpose, asset allocation, diversification, and tax location alongside the written planning objectives. Review how changes in household circumstances affect those decisions.
Understand the limitations
Rules-based investing still involves risk and possible loss. A framework does not remove market uncertainty or determine a suitable equity level without considering the client’s circumstances.

Questions for an investment conversation.
How are account withdrawals considered?
Discuss how spending dates, reserves, and the tax character of accounts affect investment implementation and review.
What might prompt a review?
A change in income needs, family circumstances, objectives, or ability to accept losses is a reason to revisit the plan. The approved framework explanations describe their respective investment review processes.
What should I ask about costs?
Ask for the applicable advisory, account, investment, and transaction costs, including which are included in a quoted fee and which are separate.
