  • Press Release: JMU and Good Wealth Management Hold ‘Investment Challenge’ Competition for Business Students  (HARRISONBURG, Va., November 12, 2012) – To introduce students to the principles of client-centered financial advice, James Madison University’s (JMU) College of Business and Good Wealth Management – Investment Consultants are sponsoring the “Financial Planning & Investment Challenge” for the second consecutive year.
    Eight teams, each comprised of four JMU College of Business students, are designing, implementing, and monitoring an investment strategy for a fictitious client who represents a real-life scenario. This year, the client is defined as a healthy, 58-year-old widow who is concerned about her financial well-being following the death of her husband. She requires monthly income for life and has inherited $1 million in life insurance and has $300,000 in retirement savings.
    “The fictitious client represents the profile of a growing segment of new clients seeking advice at Good Wealth Management,” says Daniel Uribe, vice president of Good Wealth Management. “A widow needs to rediscover herself personally and financially. Naturally she has numerous concerns such as retirement planning, tax issues and a potential decline in her standard of living. Thus, the students we are mentoring must clearly understand the client’s fears and dreams before they even talk about a traditional portfolio of stocks and bonds. It’s not about pitching a product anymore; future advisors need to learn that the industry has changed and they must listen to their clients’ anxieties.” Continue Reading.
