They See the FUTURE Differently

  • TA managers believe they can successfully predict when and how to trade on breaking news.
  • EB managers understand near-term market swings are unpredictable; they ignore the “noise.”

They Work on Different TIMELINES

 

  • TA managers feel a sense of urgency to make the “right” calls to beat the market.
  • EB managers assume that time is on their side; they give their clients carefully crafted Financial Plan time to grow.

 

They Are Guided by Different DETERMINANTS

 

  • TA managers act on “expert” opinions (which are vulnerable to biases, blind spots and changeable conditions).
  • EB managers are guided by peer-reviewed academic inquiry (for “steady as she goes” resolve).

 

They Define “SUCCESS” Differently

 

  • TA managers define success as outperforming others or making clients a lot of money.
  • EB managers define success as being able to help clients comfortably fund their personal financial goals without taking excessive risk.

 

They Use RISK Differently

 

  • TA managers don’t distinguish between market risks (factors that are expected to yield extra returns) and concentrated risks (which just add more risk).
  • EB managers manage market risk factors (and their expected returns) and diversify away concentrated risks.

 

They Consider COSTS Differently

 

  • TA managers focus on cleverly timed trades over the costs, commissions and taxes they incur.
  • EB managers focus on minimal trading, understanding that the costs involved are among the biggest drags on their end returns.

 

Bottom Line …

 

 EVIDENCE-BASED Wealth Managers Approach Investing Differently

 

  • TA managers try to beat the market through clever stock-picking and market-timing.
  • EB managers participate in the market to earn expected long-term returns according to time-tested academic evidence, a client’s personal goals and their individual risk tolerances.
