👉What are the top concerns of the affluent right now? 1. Current political environment 2. Inflation 3. Impact of 2024 election 👉What about for Americans overall, at all income levels? 1. Inflation 2. Current political environment 3. Possible economic recession I know many financial advisors try to stay far away from sharing anything at ALL political. But yet it's best practice to be the voice of reason talking with clients about their top concerns. 🤓 Chart from Edelman Financial Engines latest "Wealth in America" Report. there are SO many good data points in this years issue - everything from the most contentious topics that come up with helping families with estate planning (and how to deal with it) to what content/topics clients most want to hear from advisors about. I highly recommend checking it out. If you struggle with finding the right balance of how to talk with clients about timely topics like these - then FMG 's "Do It For Me" marketing program is worth checking out. Every month you get a calendar that shows you what emails, blog posts and social posts are planned to go out on your behalf (and all of these types of topics are addressed) And when timely news breaks, the team adds in pieces to address it so you don't have to stop what you're doing and write something. How are you talking about these things with your clients? Susan Theder Sean Brown #wealthmanagement #financialplanning #investmentmanagement

I just have to add that they (affluent boomers and Gen X) are concerned for their millennial and genZ children regarding housing, transportation and putting food on the table. Maybe that’s part of the inflationary concerns but more granular.

I’ve prepared a brief video, sharing it with the world, titled “The Presidential Election: Why Your Portfolio Couldn’t Care Less”

Yes! Top concerns wrapped into a timely communication (email, video) is where advisors will experience true engagement while quickly deepening their relationships with their clients. Loved that we got to touch on the importance of email marketing on our webinar last week. 💪🏼 Thank you for sharing this graphic!

Thanks for sharing insights from Edelman Financial Engines' latest report. Understanding clients' top concerns, such as inflation and election impacts, is vital. While avoiding direct politics, focusing on economic trends helps

I’ve done financial advising for 35 plus years and these have ALWAYS been concerns of the affluent. Nothing new. What is new is when I was at Walmart the other day two “non affluent” couples talking about how they couldn’t afford basic staples for their family to eat.

This is really timely. I've been wanting to discuss these topics in my newsletter, but hesitated as I dislike talking about politics. As much as I dislike it, it's obvious that these are top of mind for our clients and need to be addressed. Thanks for sharing Samantha Russell!
