About the Presentation

What is Biagnostics?
Biagnostics is a framework to help advisors incorporate behavioral finance into their practices. The proprietary process is designed to create an emotionally and financially customized client experience by addressing the two main factors that add layers of complexity to client investing decisions:

• Behavioral biases 
• Generational/life-stage challenges

For each client, the factors are unique. But with Biagnostics, advisors can use the principles of behavioral finance to identify and help mitigate potential biases and trip wires in order to build better client experiences.

The Biagnostics Experience
Biagnostics merges two key areas for advisor success: the emotional experience clients want and the financial results they need to help achieve their long-term goals.

The Benefits of Biagnostics

• Cements client relationships - Establishes a framework for meaningful, ongoing conversations
• Supports fiduciary responsibility - Illustrates going the extra mile to act in clients’ best interests
• Improves outcomes - Creates the potential for better investment results and greater emotional satisfaction
• Adds tangible value - Demonstrates value that can never be automated
