The study shows that untrained people invited to negotiate financial transactions with another party naturally tend to adopt a strong stance, one that can be perceived as predatory, whereas those with training in negotiation adopt somewhat of a more conciliatory attitude. The important implication of such findings is that portfolio managers who attempt to maximize their client’s wealth in an unrestricted manner may well, consciously or not, turn against the very interests of those clients by using techniques that minimize perceived predation.TOPIC: In wealth management ER -
