Advanced Behavioral Portfolio Design Workshop



Bridging the gap between inspiration and implementation

There is an ever-increasing amount of information available about behavioral finance and abundant evidence of the average investor’s poor ability to navigate markets. Yet, the advisory community has produced limited guidance for advisors who wish to curb biases and improve investor decision making.

This course distills a wealth of information about investor behavior into practical tools and processes. The intended outcome is to train advisors to implement investor behavioral considerations when building portfolios, create greater client understanding and deeper client relationships, and improve competitive differentiation.
