Financial decisions are endlessly complicated. There’s a huge body of academic literature that tries to study them to look for answers on how to improve decision making while a broad industry of financial advisors also work with investors every day on decisions that affect their financial futures. But there exists a divide between the two. On The Behavioral Divide presented by Avantis Investors®, UCLA Professor Hal Hershfield examines this divide to find insights that may help advisors and investors make better financial decisions.

Age is a topic many prefer to avoid. But, when it comes to financial decisions, age may be something we should be thinking about. Age can certainly play a role at different stages of our financial journey. On this episode, we look to the literature as well as speak with a long-tenured financial advisor to gain a firmer grasp on how exactly the choices we make are affected by age and understand what types of mistakes we are prone to both earlier and later in life.
Our first discussion is with Duke University Professor Greg Samanez-Larkin—one of the world’s experts on how financial decisions change as we age. Greg speaks to his own research along with other breakthrough studies on this topic of aging. Greg highlights where younger and older adults tend to face the greatest challenges and what we might be able to do to overcome them.
We also speak with financial advisor and founder of Constitution Wealth, Christopher Van Slyke, CFP. Christopher speaks to what he’s observed among his client base along, in particular speaking to the value of experience and the difficulties that come with addressing cognitive decline.
If you enjoy the show, please let us know by giving our series a five-star rating. We’d also love to hear from you on this topic of age and financial decision making. To join in on the discussion, send us a note at BehavioralDivide@AvantisInvestors.com.
