5 Saint Paul Minneapolis Waseca, Minn. Seneca, Ill. The Value of Behavioral Financial Planning Advice. The chart below illustrates that the average investor -- when left to his/her own devices -- not only underperforms the stock market in general, but underperforms his/her own investments by a significant margin. Source: Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior by Dalbar, Inc. (March 2011) and Lipper. Dalbar computed the "average stock fund investor" returns by using industry cash flow reports from the Investment Company Institute. The "average stock fund return" figures represent the average return for all funds listed in Lipper s U.S. Diversified Equity fund classification model. Dalbar also measured the behavior of a "systematic equity" and "asset allocation" investor. The annualized return for these investor types was 3.6% and 2.6% respectively over the time frame measured. All Dalbar returns were computed using the S&P 500Æ Index. Returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. This is just one reason why we believe that the dominant determinant of long-term, real-life investment outcomes isn t investment performance, it s investor behavior. Helping our clients manage their own emotions and investment behavior is our mission. Richard F.
