The Certificate in
Applied Behavioral Finance

Understanding behavioral finance is fast becoming an essential element to being an effective advisor. Making better decisions – and helping clients avoid “decision errors” – adds quantifiable value and differentiation. In fact, numerous studies identify “Behavioral Coaching” as a critical element of an advisor’s value. But no programs actually translate behavioral finance from the science to actual application… UNTIL NOW.

The Certificate in Applied Behavioral Finance combines three key elements that ensure advisors can apply the concepts of behavioral finance.

“Based on a Vanguard study of actual client behavior, …suggests that the discipline and guidance that an advisor might provide through behavioral coaching could be the largest potential value-add of the tools available to advisors. In addition, Vanguard research and other academic studies have concluded that behavioral coaching can add 1% to 2% in net return.”
