What to Tell Clients When the Market Tanks - a podcast by Dan Cuprill, CFP

Nearly every investor has some amount of exsposure to the stock market, and that likely means clients have questions when things start to drag. That's to be expected in this current investing environment so what should you be telling people that want to know how to react?

On this episode of the Profitable Advisor, Dan will tell you how he approaches the conversation with clients and what key points he likes to get across to those that are worried.

If history is any guide, we'll find our ways to navigate these choppy waters. We always have and we always will, but that doesn't mean there's not some pain and discomfort along the way.

The number one concern we have as advisors is protecting clients. Sure, there might be negative returns that happen year to year. But what we're worried about is making sure you don't run out of money in retirement and the returns in the short-term aren't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

If you struggle at all with having these conversations or just want to hear how other advisors handle bad markets, check out this episode and keep an ear out for the key points below.
