In any investment portfolio, there is significant attention on investment process and investment return expectation of investor and client within a business setting (Haslem, 2010). Similarly, in the case study, Rody Wrong as an investment advisor is faced with four clients with different issues about investment under the backdrop of 2006-2009 global market challenges that affected marketing. Admittedly as a legal advisor, Wong needed to reevaluate the strategies developed by the four clients to offer detailed investment strategies for an effective outcome and investment decision-making by the clients. Similarly, in any business environment, investment advisors, similar to Rody Wrong present a significant role accommodate professional, personal, and organizational performance. Firstly, an investment advisor provides notable attention to financial planning and selling of securities for retail investors. Additionally, the investment advisor offers clients optimal allocation of financial assets, enabling them to achieve financial needs within an investment portfolio. Similarly, the investment advisor presents a mediation role accommodating the client's discrepancies between emotions and logical resonating pertaining financial strategy in investments. Furthermore, investment advisors provide investment strategies through analyzing pivotal factors such as disposable income requirements, liquidity needs, tax requirements situation, investment time, and provision of uncertainties in the investment portfolio. Therefore, similar to Rody Wong, adds value to clients portfolio for effective decision-making and possible profitability in investments by effective allocation of stock, bond, and cash in the investment portfolio.

Questionnaire profiling is a significant practice that accommodates notable pros and cons for effective adjustment to manage investment sustain for individuals and organizations. Specifically, Questionnaire profiling for an individual client in Wong's case accommodate notable attention to client-centric approaches in identifying client expansions, fiscal objectives, considerations, and their reaction towards varying market consistent in an investment portfolio. The approach accommodates significant advantages including identification of a client's behavior aspect such as prejudice, and trust, managing complexities, and articulating on the risks-taking capacity of a client. Notably, the Questionnaire profiling present admitted weaknesses in its incapability to cover all client goals and priorities which require significant adjustment for effective outcomes in any business organization and individual investment, embracing emotional and logical reasons towards investment portfolio and financial strategies. Similarly, Wong’s Company accommodates Questionnaire profiling to offer effective behavior aspect analysis and reducing complexities and clarification on client’s risk talking ability (Rodgers, 2010). In an investment policy plan, there is a need to acknowledge other considerations including short-term needs and long-term planning and investment horizon for the client's critical analysis and decision-making on investment plan and policies, accommodating internal and external environment categories.

Significantly, emotions and psychological behavioral aspects impact investment decision-making to great extent. Notably, an individual client may avoid an investment advisor viewpoint and accommodate own interpretation of the situation, embracing social media, biases, and miscommunicated rules and negative information to make personal decisions. Similarly, excessively emotional and psychological optimistic leads to poor judgment without acknowledging logical reasoning on financial strategies impacts investor’s conservation actions. Significantly, after Wong’s Questionnaire profiling application, logical, behavioral, and counseling are significant in managing motions and psychological impacts on investor’s conservative actions on investment portfolios.

In this case, Wong should have employed strategies such as logic, counseling, and behavior modification for the four clients, Miller, Swanson, The Kleins, and The Nicolas. Notably, Wong should use a persuasive approach to communicate to Miller, employing emotional counseling techniques to manage Miller’s emotional vulnerability (Rodgers, 2010). Additionally, Wong should employ logic to Swanson, The Kleins, and The Nicolas managing psychological and emotional errors which violates an individual logic in accommodating financial strategies and logical reason in investments. Thus, diversification of the client’s portfolio is necessary to manage uncertainties and obtain rerun from other less volatile sectors.
