No. 6 What is the Most Exciting?

  • Funds Shutdown
  • Product Failures

 

No. 10 The Ones that Have the Highest Returns (probably highest risks)

Portfolio Projection

Example of High Risk Products:

  • Equities
  • Emerging Market Debts
  • Leverage Structured Notes
  • Margin Trading
  • Options & Futures

 

No. 11 What You Need

Private Banker

Providing great financial advice is important, but what if you are the best advisor whilst your job is at risk?  What if your firm is on the verge of collapsing the next month?  What if your promotion is at stake?

Should you place your needs first or do you do:

  1. What Clients Need
  2. What is the Most Popular
  3. What Your Company Needs
  4. What Your Financial Institution Recommends
  5. What Your Peers are Doing
  6. What is the Most Exciting?
  7. What is the Easiest to Sell?
  8. Recommending What Clients Have Done Before
  9. Advising the Safest Product
  10. The ones that have the highest returns (probably highest risks)
  11. What You Need

Don’t know which strategy to choose? You can pick a few and you should end up building a diversified portfolio for clients and meet the most common financial needs of clients.
