Every advisor knows how important it is to respect the perspectives of their clients and to avoid emotionally charged conversations about religious or political topics. In spite of an advisor's best efforts, there are going to be times when a client will want to discuss their political views and will want to discover what their advisor thinks about the political narrative of the day. In this fast-paced conversation, Ken and Scott explore the 3 different perspectives that clients can have about political disagreements, and how to avoid the two types of personalities that cannot tolerate their advisor having a different opinion from theirs. Ken offers practical guidance about how to navigate general conversations about politics to preserve the client's feeling of trust and respect and to protect the relationship from unnecessary stress. He also provides tactics for how to defuse a situation where the client insists on finding out the advisor's personal opinion about a political topic.

For almost two decades, financial advisor fees have been under pressure. Factors such as clients expecting discounts, skeptical next-gen clients and anxious competitors willing to do anything to secure a new client make it difficult to set attractive fees. But slashing fees isn't the answer—it's time to shift the conversation. In this episode, we discusses how to position your value so clients see your worth—without asking for a discount.   Additional resources: https://info.alliancebernstein.com/2025-Q1-ABAI-WEBCAST.html?partnerref=ABPodcast   Also in this episode, the AllianceBernstein Digital Coach – see practice management solutions for advisor success: abfunds.com/go/digitalcoach   DISCLAIMER Note to All Readers: The information contained here reflects the views of AllianceBernstein L.P. or its affiliates and sources it believes are reliable as of the date of this podcast.

It takes time for trust, perception of value and feelings of confidence to  develop within a client. Observations over time have revealed that trust, confidence and value reach their highest point about 3 years into a relationship between an advisor and a client. Unfortunately, most advisors are in such a rush to “close” a new relationship they set the price of their services before the client has had any meaningful experiences with the advisor. In this deep dive, Ken and Scott look at how an advisor can curate experiences intentionally to accelerate the trust-building process.

For years advisors have been taught the importance of closing a  prospective client quickly – if possible, during the first meeting. On closer look advisors will have much more success if they slow down, take their time and give the client time to fully appreciate what the advisor has to offer. There has always been a dynamic tension for advisors between  taking the time to build trust in a new relationship and getting the client to sign on the dotted line. Especially when new clients seem scarce, advisors can feel a compelling need to get the new relationship started, even if it means offering a steep discount. In this fast-paced conversation, Ken and Scott explore how the thoughtful advisor can manage the first few meetings with a client to provide powerful experiences that build trust, reveal value and stimulate strong feelings of confidence. The program includes specific strategies that advisors can use to create meaningful experiences for clients in the first few meetings.

Market volatility continues to threaten the advisor-client relationship. At the end of the day, the advisor's role is not just about managing a client's wealth—it's helping navigate experiences and surprises. In this episode, ABAI's Ken Haman explains why the main reason clients hire an advisor is to manage their own emotions. He'll also dive into how advisors can go beyond wealth management to empower clients' financial futures. In addition, exploring the emotional impact of advisor interactions and how they influence client experiences—both expected and unexpected, and mastering the art of reducing client anxiety, boosting confidence and navigating volatility   Also in this episode, the AllianceBernstein Digital Coach – see practice management solutions for advisor success: abfunds.com/go/digitalcoach DISCLAIMER Note to All Readers: The information contained here reflects the views of AllianceBernstein L.P. or its affiliates and sources it believes are reliable as of the date of this podcast.

Many advisors feel a compelling need to discount their fees in order to seal the deal with a new client. As a result, average fees across the industry have been steadily dropping for years. In this fast paced episode, Scott and Ken look at the psychological dynamics that cause advisors to automatically assume they need to discount their fees, and then explore what they can do differently in the first few meetings that will support charging a premium fee for premium services.

Jose Antonio Esteban, CEO de IronIA Fintech, nos trae a Capital Intereconomía las novedades que tiene la compañía con Alliancebernstein. Con ellos tienen dos nuevos fondos de promoción. Lo más llamativo, como nos cuenta nuestro invitado, es que “con nuestros nuevos fondos con Alliancebernstein puedes tener tres meses de IronIA gratis”. AB Growth y Ab Emerging son los códigos y están totalmente disponibles para los clientes nuevos. Con 30 euros, que es la inversión inicial, puedes acceder a estos dos fondos y acceder a esta promoción. No hay que mantener la inversión pero desde la compañía sí que recomiendan mantener esta inversión ya que como dice Jose Antonio Esteban, “la mejor forma de conocer un fondo es mantener esta inversión”. Sobre el tema de las retrocesiones, Jose Antonio Esteban nos indica que cuando alguien dice que invierte gratis en un fondo no tiene en cuenta que pierde a largo plazo en la rentabilidad.

Private credit is getting squeezed by excess demand for limited deals, but AllianceBernstein says it will continue to pay more than publicly traded debt. “Even as base rates have come in, that premium remains fairly persistent,” said Matthew Bass, the firm’s head of private alternatives. “If the premium gets too small, then as an investor, you’re going to start to question: ‘Why am I locking my capital up?’,” Bass tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s Tolu Alamutu in the latest Credit Edge podcast. Bass and Alamutu also discuss recovery in commercial real estate, asset-based finance opportunities by sector and the advent of exchange-traded funds for private debt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
