Clients can avoid the temptation to change their investment strategy by envisioning the market’s ups and downs before they occur

Many investors hurt their long-term results by making a series of emotional decisions in response to the latest crisis or hot trend, e.g. geopolitical worries, cryptocurrencies, or Fed moves. They think changing their portfolio will help them avoid losing money or make a quick gain.

She combines her experience as a professional poker player with some of the most advanced thinking on decision-making that integrates psychology, economics, and neuroscience.

Then, when clients experience market scenarios in the future that tempt them to change their strategy, they’ll be more prepared and more likely to stick to their plan, not calling you in a panic.
