I
found Kathleen Gurney's book both fascinating
and illuminating. It gave me a new perspective
on the way in which individuals make and live
with investment decisions. That perspective
helped me deal with the issues faced by many
wealthy investors, and to provide them with
better advice. Understanding that decisions
are made both in the head and 'in the gut'
has proven to me to be fundamental insight.
In many ways, Dr. Gurney's work actually turned
out to be a pioneering effort in a field which
has now grown considerably. The idea of bringing
together finance and behavioral science issues
has in my view proven to be a critical development
that is now helping investment advisors serve
individual investors better.

"When
I read 'Your Money Personality' I was struck
by two things. The first was the very real
approach of the writing. Most books on personal
finance are written about money or financial
products. 'Your Money Personality' is about
people. As a result, the book is easy to read
and I could quickly identify with my own situation
and how the topic related to me personally.
The second was that the book was very action
oriented. Many 'personality profiles' are
interesting, but useless. The profiles are
clearly developed with a purpose - correcting
damaging behavior."

"Kathleen
Gurney's book drawing on her pioneering work
in financial psychology is a must read for
anyone involved in investment communications
with individuals. Furthermore, the growing
trend towards the individualization of all
retirement assets makes reading her book even
more compelling. We continue to look to her
as an idea leader in the area, and have used
her work to distinguish ourselves competitively."

insights which are well worth their time."

"We
start by giving clients the Moneymax®
questionnaire and review the report. We know,
by looking at the individual traits, if the
client wants to be involved in every decision,
or if they want the decisions made for them.
We also look to the Profile to see what kinds
of investment options the client will be more
likely to accept. In every instance where
we have used Moneymax® with a client,
it has been right on target."

"In
a recent seminar, I handed out the Moneymax®
Questionnaires and talked a little about how
important investor profiling could be. I got
nine back before we left the seminar. The
most important thing, of course, is the accuracy.
Time after time, people with whom I am reviewing
the profiles are totally agreeing with the
results. It's amazing!"

"I
have known Dr. Gurney and have used her work
for over ten years. I have always considered
her the pioneer and industry leader in the
field of Investor Psychology. Her concepts
are easy to grasp and apply, yet the simplicity
belies the depth of knowledge about a client
that a practitioner gains from her process.

For
more than five years, an integral part of
my fact-finder process has been Dr Gurney's
Moneymax® investor personality profiling
system. The survey tells me how an individual
thinks about money. That tells me al lot about
whether I'm going to have a good match and
that is valuable.

About
a month afterI gave a "Your Money Personality"
seminar, I got a call from a woman who heard
me speak. She proceeded to tell me how my
talk really hit home and made sense. She had
a very large portfolio and had been with the
same firm for quite awhile, but had been unhappy
with their service of her account for some
time. She felt that they patronized her and
they didn't deal with both her and her spouse's
individual and joint needs.I invited them
to my office and offered to do a Moneymax®
Profile on each of them. The woman turned
out to be a Safety Player and her husband
was an Entrepreneur - very different profiles
with very different needs. I took the time
to go over their individual profiles and then
their joint comparison report and showed them
how I would work with them based on their
needs, both individually and jointly.They
were so delighted with the difference in style
and communication and Immediately transferred
their $5,000,000 portfolio to me.

Moneymax®
has improved my show rate from 2.1 to maybe
as much as 5.4. People are so enthusiastic
about getting to know who they are that they
just come in to get their profile results.
I've had lots of positive results and will
be using Moneymax as far into the future as
I can see.
