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®, host and UCLA Professor Hal Hershfield examines this divide to find insights that may help advisors and investors make better financial decisions.

There are plenty of logical reasons to devote some of our current wealth to future generations, such as supporting a better future for your family or society, the potential for estate tax benefits, and simply a common desire to build a legacy that endures beyond our lives. But tradeoffs abound when it comes to making such legacy decisions—not the least of which is how much do I want or need for myself today versus how much am I willing to give others for the future.
Our choices may also be influenced by tendencies of human behavior or even our experience and feelings about legacy decisions of past generations. Do I feel like they were generous towards me, or selfish? Might that drive how I think about my own choices?
On this episode of The Behavioral Divide, presented by Avantis Investors®, host Hal Hershfield speaks with Duke University Professor Kimberly Wade-Benzoni, an expert in intergenerational decision making, and Matt Hall, Co-Founder and CEO of Hill Investment Group, to examine what we can learn from both the academic research and real-world advisor-to-client experience to help us make better financial legacy decisions.
