Financial risk and behavioral decision-making involve understanding various categories of risk and how human emotions and cognitive biases influence financial choices.
Although we speak broadly about FERS, in this program, we abandon FERS-specific topics to introduce the concept of behavioral financial decision-making. Successful retirement planning depends on the choices we make at each intersection. Do we get in our way? According to statistics, undoubtedly so.
This Online CPE Course provides in-depth information on the various types of risk and details how our lens for viewing risk may co-opt the true risk of our decisions. Participants will learn how their financial decision-making strategies work and how they can be strengthened. We continue to build each participant's FERS retirement puzzle; this course adds additional pieces to the puzzle.
FERS, however, does not cover military personnel or employees of state or local governments. Employees under FERS receive retirement benefits from three sources: the basic benefit plan, Social Security, and the Thrift Savings Plan, or TSP.
Join us for an enlightening webinar experience that promises to deepen your understanding of financial risk, enhance your decision-making skills, and empower you to build a secure financial future.
