What is a Client Review?
A client review meeting is the cornerstone of the wealth management relationship. Typically held quarterly or semi-annually, it is a structured conversation where the advisor and client review portfolio performance, discuss life changes, address concerns, and plan next steps. The meeting is as much about relationship management as it is about numbers — clients want to feel heard, understood, and confident that their financial life is on track. Preparation is everything. An advisor who walks in knowing the client’s performance, allocation drift, upcoming life events, and proactive recommendations demonstrates competence and care. An advisor who fumbles through numbers loses trust.Command
