Risk Preferences

Risk Preferences

Before making any investment decisions, it is critical to determine risk preferences.

You have probably heard the popular idiom: "the greater the risk, the greater the reward." This concept is part of an acclaimed financial theory coined the risk-reward concept.

The idea behind the risk-reward tradeoff - the more an investor holds onto a high-risk asset the higher the potential return.

There are two key caveats here -

This is a potential reward, not a sure thing, which means that there is an inherent risk in this scenario. “All or nothing” might come to mind because this too is a potential outcome.
Not every investor has an appetite for high-risk frameworks. Risk-averse investors also make for savvy investors, especially in the long term. Think of Aesop's timeless fable “slow and steady wins the race.”

The bottom line is that investors should determine their risk preferences before they begin investing.

Investors need to be able to withstand the ramifications of said risk. A mismatch between their risk level and portfolio investments can completely disrupt their financial plan.

For example -

An investor with low-risk tolerance invests in the high-risk asset, Bitcoin (BTC), in November 2021 at $67,582/share. The same investor reaches July 2022 and is concerned about BTC price, presently trading at $21,464. If the investor chooses to liquidate their position, their return on investment would be -68.25%, representing a loss of $46,123 per share.
Why might they do this?
Perhaps they believe that BTC will continue to plummet further, extending their loss, or they want to buy a car and need to liquidate to make the car purchase. Regardless, the investor sells their position in July 2022. According to the numbers above, BTC was an unprofitable investment decision for this individual. It turns out that this particular investor required a lower-risk asset as they are either risk-averse or have a less flexible and shorter investing horizon.

Investors should consider their investing horizon (how long can they hold their position in the face of market volatility) based on their investment goals and financial reality.

Stocks and crypto assets are considered high-risk investments. There is a clear consensus in this regard within the investing community. While stocks have the highest average rate of return among financial products there is never a guarantee of profit.

Real estate, on the other hand, is considered by investors one of the most low-risk investments. Investor sentiment could also contend that real estate is subject to more risk than the bonds and money market, consequently requiring a thorough cost-benefit analysis.

The Takeaway -

A diversified and thoughtfully managed real estate portfolio can be low risk. And comparatively, real estate and housing, in particular, are considered lower risk relative to equities or crypto asset heavy portfolios.

Landa Holdings, Inc. ("Landa Holdings") operates the www.landa.app website (the "Site") and the mobile-based app (the "App"). Landa Holdings serves as manager to Landa App LLC and Landa App 2 LLC. From time to time, Landa Holdings may organize limited liability companies or series limited liability companies, such as Landa App LLC and Landa App 2 LLC, and will raise funds for these entities through the App by relying on offerings exempt from registration requirements pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Regulation A”). Such companies shall be collectively referred to herein as “Landa App”.

Neither Landa Holdings nor Landa App is a broker-dealer or an investment advisor. All securities-related activity is conducted through Dalmore Group LLC (“Dalmore”), a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA/SIPC, located at 525 Green Place, Woodmere, NY 11598. You can review the brokercheck for Dalmore. Banking services are provided by Evolve Bank & Trust, Member FDIC. By opening a custody account on the App, you agree to Evolve Bank & Trust’s Custodial Agreement.

All securities (“Shares”) are being offered by one or more series (“Series”) registered under Landa App. Investing in securities involves risks, and there is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investments such as those offered by Landa App are speculative and involve substantial risks to consider before investing, outlined in the respective offering materials and including, but not limited to, illiquidity, lack of diversification, and complete loss of capital. An investment in an offering constitutes only an investment in a particular Series and not in Landa Holdings, Landa App, or any of the underlying asset(s). investors should carefully review the risks located in the respective offering materials for a more comprehensive discussion of risks.

You should speak with your financial advisor, accountant, and/or attorney when evaluating any offering of securities. Neither Landa Holdings, Landa App, nor Dalmore makes any recommendations or provides advice about investments, and no communication, through this website or in any other medium, should be construed as a recommendation for any security offered on or off this investment platform. Nothing in this material should be construed as investment or tax advice, or a solicitation or offer, or a recommendation to buy or sell any securities. The Site and/or the App may make forward-looking statements. You should not rely on these statements but should carefully evaluate the offering materials in assessing any investment opportunity, including the complete set of risk factors that are provided as part of the offering circular for your consideration. We urge you to review the applicable offering circular, available here.

Landa Holdings intends to conduct a securities offering by each Series registered under Landa App pursuant to Regulation A. From time to time, Landa App will seek to qualify additional Series offerings of securities under Regulation A. For offerings that have not yet been qualified, no money or other consideration is being solicited and, if sent in response, will not be accepted. No offer to buy Shares of a particular offering can be accepted, and no part of the purchase price can be received until an offering statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to that Series has been qualified by the SEC. Any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of acceptance given after the date of qualification by the SEC. An indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.

Investment overviews contained on the Site and/or the App contain summaries of the purpose and the principal business terms of the investment opportunities. Such summaries are intended for informational purposes only and do not purport to be complete, and each is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed discussions contained in the applicable offering circular filed with the SEC. Neither Landa Holdings nor Landa App offers refunds after an investment has been made. Please review the relevant offering materials and subscription documentation for more information.

All Shares will be issued in electronic form only and will not be listed or quoted on any securities exchange. We expect that after a Series’ offering has concluded, the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System, or PPEX ATS (the “Secondary Trading Platform”), which is registered with the SEC and operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“North Capital”), will be a venue available for the resale of such Shares through Dalmore, as a broker-dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, any such resale of Shares will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Series’ Operating Agreement, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Shares will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Shares to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Shares indefinitely.
