The sentiment in this article is not new, but does continue to beg the question…am I in the right place doing the best thing I can to gain business?

<h1 ="entry-title">Frustrated by Losses, Americans Re-Assess Advisors</h1> <h2 ="entry-subtitle"><em></em></h2> <div ="author">By Donna Mitchell</div> <div ="published-date"><abbr ="published">June 17, 2009</abbr></div> <div ="entry-"> <div id="verticalspacer">¦</div>Ninety percent of

American investors are frustrated about financial losses in the past
year, according to “Make the Move,” a survey by the Charles Schwab
Corp. released today. That’s no surprise, but this is: Instead of
blaming their financial advisors entirely for their situation, the
respondents to this online survey say they are dealing with their
losses by adopting more disciplined money management routines for the
year ahead.

A majority of participants in survey, 76%, say they are only somewhat confident that they receive sound guidance from their investment professionals. And they are willing to cut and run: 25% of respondents are considering changing financial services firms or advisors. Thirty-two percent of investors want better fee structures; 32% desire better advice and 29% want more proactive contact from their advisors.

 “Investors are seeking a genuine partner they can trust to help them plan for the long term,” said Andy Gill, a senior vice president at Charles Schwab. “They are understandably frustrated by the last year and have responded by expecting more from the experts they turn to for guidance.”

They also expect more from themselves, according to the survey, which was conducted from June 4 to June 8. Fifty-one percent of investors said they now review their finances at lease once a day, up from the 27% who kept up that routine in 2008. Forty-six percent say they pay closer attention to how much money they have invested or saved; 45% have set stricter budgets for themselves or their households; 38% pay closer attention to financial market movements and 23% say they will keep closer tabs on their financial services providers.

As for why investors might leave their current financial services provider, 48% say they questioned the firm’s financial stability. Forty-seven percent of respondents might consider a move because of the cost of services, and 42% of participants would leave because of the performance of their investments.

That article misses the target IMHO.



No one had a clue on the severity on the drop, and equally the rise back. The only discipline is sticking with the strategy since a majority of all equity funds suffered the same fate.



As far as checking their portfolio once a day, that is inherently dangerous. This is a dangerous step toward a “day trading” mentality, and that is the last thing clients need to do. Imagine another 10% drop, and 10% rise. Clients with a longer term strategy would be largely ignore that move. I can’t say the same for daily stat checkers.



Watching the financial news channels is no better than pulling the one arm bandit at Vegas.
