Anxiety Adjusted Returns

  • Thu 11 Mar 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
    • Greg B Davies, PhD, Oxford Risk

In all decisions poor decisions arise from the tension between the ‘sensible’ decision for long-term financial needs, and the ‘emotionally comfortable’ decision in the short term. This need for emotional comfort means that investors continually deviate from good financial decisions, at the cost of financial returns - for investments this can cost on average 3% per year over time (and this is without considering other financial decisions: savings, debt, insurance etc.). Improving decision-making requires moving towards a better trade-off between optimal and comfortable… finding a cheaper way of buying the emotional comfort that we all need. There are many ways of narrowing the gap, making investors more comfortable with better investment solutions … but to do this well requires understand each individual investor's unique financial personality. This has particular resonance in regard to both Covid, and the rise in retail day-trading … both exacerbate the emotional component of decision making and raise the chances of very costly bad decisions. Decision prosthetics can help guide people more consistently to better decisions.

Planning for the next generation using Pensions

Since the introduction of pension freedoms and the increased flexibility and choice open to clients and whom can benefit from their remaining pension pot, this has become even more important when planning how wealth is cascaded. However, there are things that can be done today with pensions to help spread the wealth at an earlier point in time whilst providing valuable tax savings for your clients. The session will examine ways of using pensions contributions to benefit others along with considerations around the lifetime allowances and the outcomes of the recent Staveley case with respect to pension transfers within two years of death.
