Raluca Filip, CFA: Helping Investors Navigate Risk, Volatility, and Second Thoughts

Market volatility and relentless news cycles can cause even confident investors to second-guess their risk tolerance. Raluca Filip, CFA, joins guest host Cathy Scott to explore why clients hesitate, reverse decisions, or suddenly reassess their appetite for risk — and how advisors can respond in those pivotal moments. Drawing on her work with financial professionals, Filip explains the psychology behind shifting risk perceptions, particularly among investors shaped by prolonged bull markets. She highlights the gap between imagining a downturn and actually living through one, and why traditional risk questionnaires often fall short when emotions take hold. The conversation offers practical strategies to help advisors guide clients through hesitation and emotional reversals, support better decision-making under pressure, and strengthen long-term trust in the advisory relationship.
