#75. How credible are the purported benefits of financial advice?

The Mind Money Spectrum Podcast

Methodology on studies on the tangible and intangible benefits of working with a financial advisor.
In this episode, Aaron and Trishul examine research that tries to quantify the value of financial advice. High client retention rates imply that clients are happy. But how do you measure the value of advice? Past studies may have overstated the behavior gap. But recent studies provide additional insights beyond this singular metric. So don't forget about asset allocation, rebalancing, asset location, and tax-efficient investing. And beyond investing, perhaps it's the benefits from sound financial planning that make the biggest impact on happiness and well-being.
