Produktbeschreibung

Improving client outcomes with goals-based investing Financial advisors stand at a crossroads. One path is grounded in traditional investing. Advisors who remain on this route face numerous hazards that impair their clients' long-term wealth and endanger advisory viability. The other path requires practitioners to adapt by embracing technology and goals-based solutions. Choosing the right road is vital for sustaining and growing advisory businesses in the years ahead.

The Smart Financial Advisor is a must-have guide for advisors who desire to differentiate and grow their practices amid commoditization, fee compression, and increasing regulatory requirements. Martin skillfully combines captivating stories, compelling research, and practical applications to show how you can embark on this path, engaging clients and improving their outcomes along the way.
