New Issue of Investments & Wealth Monitor Focuses on Behavioral Finance and the Mind of the Client
Denver, CO (PRWEB) July 14, 2017 -- The May/June issue of Investment Management Consultants Association® (IMCA®) Investments & Wealth Monitor spotlights the burgeoning field of behavioral finance. Gain knowledge into the psychology of decision-making with articles from some of the leading thought leaders in the field of behavioral economics. Understanding that everyone is subject to the forces of behavioral finance and how to work with those forces to clients’ advantage can greatly enhance the advisor-client relationship.
“This relatively new, evolving field uses research in psychology to explain why we, as investors, act in ways that may seem irrational,” writes David Koulish, CPWA®, CFP®, and chairman of the Investments & Wealth Monitor Editorial Advisory Board (editor’s note, May/June 2017 issue). “Behavioral finance is about understanding and overcoming biases that affect human decision-making, because often an emotional decision today, although comfortable, may work against long-term success.”
