NASHVILLE, September 27, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Benjamin N. Ward Professor of Economics at the University of California at Berkeley, Shachar Kariv, Ph.D. (http://eml.berkeley.edu/~kariv), will deliver an educational master class at the 2017 FPA Annual Conference in Nashville, on Monday, Oct. 2, at 3 p.m. In The Overdue Marriage of Goals-based Planning and Behavioral Economics, sponsored by technology firm Capital Preferences, creators of the TrueProfile system, Professor Kariv will discuss ways to improve goals-based planning by introducing scientific methods of client understanding.
“Deeper client understanding is the only sustainable advantage for today’s advice givers,” said Capital Preferences CEO and Founder Bernard Del Rey. “Positive disruption that empowers the best advisors is the key to professionalizing our industry and achieving better client outcomes. Professor Kariv and his colleagues in behavioral economics and decision science have broken new ground, explaining how advisers can better understand clients and find suitable solutions for them, ushering in advice in the age of the consumer.”
Planners know that clients' actions speak louder than words when it comes to understanding true risk and loss tolerance and the compromises that can be made in planning to hit a client's goals. Professor Kariv will show how sophisticated behavioral economics theory and application are married in a simple client experience, exposing their true profile and priorities, and 'rate' of goal compromise. These are the insights advisors need to take risk assessment and goals-based planning to the next level.

“Planners know that clients’ actions speak louder than words when it comes to understanding true risk and loss tolerance and the compromises that can be made in planning to hit a client’s goals,” Del Rey continued. “Professor Kariv will help financial planning professionals and investment advisors understand how clients make tradeoffs with risk and goals and why having statistical confidence in your client diagnostics matters now more than ever. The difference in his work is that sophisticated behavioral economics theory and application are married in a simple experience for the client, exposing their true profile and priorities and ‘rate’ of goal compromise. These are the insights advisors need to take risk assessment and goals based planning to the next level.”
