Focus of Client Conversations

  • Talk about what clients CAN control
  • Message lets clients know you are equipped to help & plan for this new future - future full of uncertainty
  • More about what is right for their future goals, not portfolio performance

Market Performance

  • What the markets do and which investments are best, don't have much of an impact on portfolio performance
  • More than 85% of portfolio growth depends on savings and behavior - more than asset allocation, investment selection and market timing combined!
