The first six months of 2022 have served as a stark reminder that market outlooks can quickly shift. Advisors who want to retain business must now prepare clients for the possibility of greater volatility, abiding inflation and muted returns. And clients have many reasons to be skeptical of change. Financial advisors (FAs) who don’t have these conversations now risk having painful discussions with disappointed investors.

Register today to hear AllianceBernstein Advisor Institute's (ABAI's) Ken Haman discuss key insights about human decision-making and research in behavioral finance to look at the practical challenges of managing client trust during uncertain times. Specifically, Ken will drill into:

• How to move a client past a negative market experience to make an investment decision now
• Why clients can be triggered by negative information and avoid these discussions despite the need to take action to improve future outcomes
• A six-step conversation model that FAs can use to motivate clients to take action
