Risk Tolerance for Ball Corporation Employees

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Ball Corporation Ball Corporation's healthcare coverage is primarily provided through Aetna, a well-established insurer known for a range of healthcare plans tailored to meet the diverse needs of employees. Brief Overview of Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As we look ahead to 2026, Ball Corporation employees should prepare for significant healthcare cost increases, with many anticipating premium hikes of over 60% in some states. This alarming trend is largely attributed to rising medical expenses, the potential expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies, and aggressive actions from major insurers. Without congressional intervention to extend these vital subsidies, more than 22 million individuals could face an average increase of 75% in out-of-pocket costs, straining budgets and limiting access to essential healthcare services. It's crucial for employees to proactively plan for these developments to mitigate financial impacts in the coming year. Click here to learn more

The world of investing is very subjective--the investment plan that’s right for you depends largely upon the level of comfort that you have when it comes to risk. We'd like our clients from Ball Corporation to remember that you can’t completely avoid risk when it comes to investing, but it's possible for you to manage it.

There are two aspects of risk tolerance for Ball Corporation employees to consider: (1) the capacity of your investment plan itself to absorb losses, and (2) how comfortable you are personally with risk. The first aspect can be quantified--the more flexibility your investment plan has when it comes to potential loss, the more risk your plan can tolerate. For example, as we’ve discussed, a long investment time horizon may allow you to take on more risk than a short time horizon.

The second aspect, how comfortable you are personally with risk, is more of an emotional measure, and depends on many factors, including your objectives, life stage, personality, and investment experience. Some investors are comfortable with a high degree of risk, while others can tolerate only minimal risk. Individual risk tolerance is an important factor for Ball Corporation employees in deciding which individual investments are appropriate for them, as well as how their investment dollars should be allocated among different investment classes.
