Savant Wealth Management Releases Evidence-Based Investing Learning Center
Savant Wealth Management, a nationally recognized, fee-only wealth management firm headquartered in Rockford, IL, with locations also in Madison and Park Falls, announced it has developed a suite of multi-media education tools on the concept of Evidence-Based Investing (EBI) to help investors become more educated on the topic.
Given the rise in internet and video consumption this past year, Savant is launching this initiative to reach and help more people through virtual connections. The e-learning content features an academic white paper, blogs, and videos about the importance of using evidence and research for investments.
“In our new socially distanced world, there is still opportunity for connection by embracing technology to give people the tools they need to be more savvy investors,” said Phil Huber, Savant’s chief investment officer. “We believe EBI is a well-organized investment approach that uses historical data, research, and our collective knowledge of risk and return.”
This EBI platform helps explain why consumers should apply evidence to investing over approaches like timing the market and active stock-picking. The content is divided into bite-sized pieces, and Huber is the author of the blogs and main speaker featured in the videos, which average in length from four to eight minutes each.
