Totum Risk
Risk Tolerance, Portfolio Analytics, & Proposal Generation
Company Overview
Totum is the only online risk tolerance solution that helps advisors understand how much risk their clients can take based on their life situation (risk capacity). With Totum, advisors can easily customize how they engage with their clients and have in-depth discussions about their Risk Preferences, Risk Capacity and Portfolio Risk.
Totum’s AI capabilities continuously update the risk capacity score based on a person or household’s life situation… similar to a credit score. Any time the portfolio drifts outside of the two scores the advisor is alerted.
Totum’s frontend is user-friendly and its backend uses AI, block chain technology, and quantitative models based on academic algorithms to score risk capacity, risk preference, and the client’s current portfolio. The information is presented in a format that makes it easy for advisors to review with their clients and make accurate portfolio selections.
