Low cost investment providers such as Vanguard have commoditized investing, pushing wealth managers to broaden their scope to deliver value. When “S&P and chill” effectively summarizes a sensible approach to wealth building, what more is there for advisors to do? Just as Warren Buffett’s advice “be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful” is easy in concept, difficult in application, so is optimal wealth management.

Growing advice practices have embraced all aspects of managing wealth using a holistic life coaching approach. Effective Advisors understand that there are just some needs the “S&P and chill” approach cannot address and seek to fulfill qualitative human needs.
