I have known Tony Davidow professionally for 20-plus years and know him to be a thought leader on the topics of goals-based investing, alternative investments, ESG, and behavioral finance. I think this book is an essential reference source for any advisor who wants to better understand the current and future states of wealth management for high-net-worth families.

Scott Welch, CIMA, Board Member of the Investments & Wealth Institute

I am seeing a growing number of institutional investors evolve their portfolios, moving assets into foreign markets, seeking to enhance the yield in their fixed-income portfolio, and increasing allocations to alternative investments, such as private equity, real assets, and hedge funds. As high- net-worth investors and their advisors seek to upgrade their portfolios and emulate the success of institutional investors, Goals-Based Investing provides the rationale and road map to facilitate the journey.

True leaders do way more than just effectively leadthey educate, they motivate, and they lay a strong foundation for others to succeed in their footsteps. In the decade plus that Ive personally experienced the leadership of Tony Davidow, he has embraced every one of these traits of leadership in the financial advisory universe. His new book is a fantastic, concise blueprint for how advisors need to evolvea must-read for every A-list advisor.

Kevin Snchez, CIMA, CPWA, CFP, former Chair, Investments & Wealth Institute

The wealth management industry is undergoing a secular shift from product to advice. In this context, Tony Davidow captures the evolution of the advisor/client dialogue as it has moved beyond the money to a host of noninvestment needs. Goals-Based Investing is equally useful for investors who are often confused by their choices of products and advisors and for advisors who need to deliver much more than investment returns to meet their clients idiosyncratic objectives.

Tony Davidow was my original teacher and mentor on all things investing as I was coming up in financial services. He taught by showing, not just telling. He does not talk down to the retail investor. Yet he manages to help them meaningfully elevate their understanding of investing and leverage its benefits to help meet their goals.
