PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION 

Jeffrey DeHaan, CFP® Attends the Wharton School Client Psychology Executive Education Course

Clearwater Capital Partners is pleased to announce that Jeffrey DeHaan, Partner, was selected to participate in the inaugural Client Psychology course offered through a partnership between the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the Certified Financial Planner Board. Jeff spent 3 days on the University of Pennsylvania campus learning about the psychological processes involved in financial decision making from researchers at the forefront of this burgeoning field of study.

The Client Psychology course is designed to help financial advisors develop a more effective client-centered practice by drawing heavily on advances in psychology, behavioral finance, evidence-based decision making, and the human sciences to better understand the biases, behaviors, and perceptions that impact client decision making and financial well-being. Through insights based on rigorous research, experience, and interaction, participants learn from academic thought leaders to develop new methods for communicating with clients, helping them achieve their goals, dealing with potential financial stress and hardships, and making key decisions. This specially developed course takes an interdisciplinary approach that draws on the latest breakthroughs in behavioral finance, psychology, therapy and counseling, and even neuroscience.

“Continuing to develop the skills and knowledge base necessary to effectively advise clients in an ever evolving financial world has been a priority for everyone at Clearwater Capital Partners since its inception,” said John Chapman, Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer.“The caliber of resources that Wharton and the CFP Board were able to assemble made this a truly enriching experience not only for Jeff, but for the rest of the firm as we digest and implement the lessons he learned during his time in Philadelphia as we strive to provide the best outcomes for our clients.”
