Speaking Engagements
Ryan Layton, CFA is a frequent speaker at trust and wealth management conferences across the country, covering a number of topics including behavioral finance, alternative investments, investment management outsourcing, and the Prudent Investor Rule. His engaging and interactive presentation on Behavioral Finance explores some of the research that has been conducted in this fascinating field that is becoming increasingly utilized in the investment management industry. He discusses how our brains work and the ways we make decisions. He also outlines some of the frequent behavioral pitfalls investors make and the effect they can have on investment returns. The hope is that by being cognizant of the common behavioral mistakes we are prone to making we will be better equipped to avoid falling prey to them.
