AccuProfile® is our practical behavioral finance module. It breaks down the investor behavior into the following aspects:
- Investor type, such as passive investor, trend follower, contrarian and so on.
- Behavioral biases, including loss aversion, overconfidence, and herding.
- Financial IQ, testing investor’s knowledge in compounding, diversification, market timing and more.
Using mini-questionnaires, AccuProfile® provides a systematic way to use behavioral finance to help you know your clients deeply and to help your clients understand themselves better. Watch demo video.
All behavioral factors are rolled into the Behavioral Risk Index™, a single number that indicates the tendency of irrational investment behavior for a client.
We also have a special tool to better protect baby boomer clients. Click here for details.
