Advisor Inv Assumptions are defined as...

• A. Universal preferences for client
• B. Only for new clients
• C. Static defaults
• D. Individualized client preferences

Answer: (A)

Advisor investment assumptions are defined as universal preferences for clients. This means the advisor sets a common set of baseline expectations—such as expected return, volatility, inflation, and fees—that apply to every client unless the advisor overrides them with client-specific inputs. This provides a consistent starting point for modeling and comparing scenarios across clients. It isn’t limited to new clients, nor is it just static defaults, and it isn’t about applying individualized preferences by client.
