Becoming a Behavioral Advisor; Delivering Superior Portfolio Performance for Your Clients
Douglas A. Lennick, CFP®, and Charles F. Wachendorfer
Financial advice is based primarily on Nobel Prize-winning
modern portfolio theory. All learnings related to asset allocation, efficient frontier and modern portfolios remain important. However, all are based on the premise that investors
and consumers make rational decisions without bias and
essentially will trade-off decisions based on risk and reward
potential. Behavioral advice involves the integration of traditional finance, behavioral finance and neuroscience. People
are more averse to loss than originally thought, and that
loss tolerance is dynamic, not static. As a result more time
should be spent focusing on loss tolerance than risk tolerance. Walk-away with knowledge and tools to enhance the
effectiveness of your financial planning advice by explicitly
adding the concepts of behavioral advice.
