Client-Directed Investing After conducting an in-depth analysis of the client’s financial and tax situation, objectives, and risk tolerance, the Financial Professional will make recommendations on the investment program which is most appropriate for the client. Northland will monitor the client’s strategy to help ensure that it reflects changes in the financial markets and their needs. The aim of the asset allocation strategy is to diversify the client’s portfolio among various asset classes as part of an appropriate investment strategy. Diversification can help to reduce the client’s potential risk, help to make the investment performance of their portfolio less volatile, and may increase their investment return, as well.
