Behavioral Coaching –Understanding & Improving Investor Behavior
For decades the financial industry has focused on reducing portfolio volatility, but has ignored the problem of behavioral volatility. This presentation introduces the concept of proactively coaching clients to help them improve their decisions. This presentation will cover several common influencers of investor behavior. Attendees will learn how emotions and cognitive shortcuts encourage investors to act contrary to their long-term goals. Several “coaching” concepts will be taught, and attendees will learn what they can do to help their clients make more thoughtful, deliberate decisions despite the urges to do the contrary.
- Learn how mental shortcuts influence poor investment decisions
- Learn how emotions “protect us” while hijacking our ability to analyze situations
- Implement takeaways shared in presentation to “coach” clients to think more deliberately (less knee jerk reactions) about their financial decisions

Retirement Plan Design Opportunities for Small Businesses
In this discussion, we’ll cover what type of retirement plan is most appropriate for different types of small businesses, the advantages of retirement plans and which types of businesses are eligible to set up these plans. After going into more detail on businesses with and without employees and the types of plans (Profit-Sharing, Tiered 401(k), Cash Balance Plan, etc.) that may work best for these types of businesses, we conclude the presentation with year-end actions steps. These action steps include what should be done with an existing money purchase plan, what business owners who would like to contribute more than $55,000 into a plan should consider moving forward, and how SIMPLE IRAs should be reviewed to see if a Safe Harbor 401(k) might be more beneficial.
