Working at the Speed of Instinct in Goals-Based Investing

Today we’re thinking about something people call the “speed of instinct.” When you watch Martin Tarlie and Adam Scully-Power, CIMA®, CPWA® work with firms, ask the right questions, and sharpen how we personalize goals-based portfolios, you can see how much unseen work goes into the process.

Here’s the full quote from football analyst Matt Waldman that sparked the thought:

“The best running backs, like the best improvisational musicians, process information and perform techniques at the speed of instinct. Performing at the speed of instinct means a lot of hard work has been put into practicing techniques in a variety of situations until the player doesn’t have to think about doing what he does in the moment. Just like a running back working through a 10×20 yard confine with up to 21 players moving in a variety of directions, a musician doesn’t just ‘play what he feels’ without ingraining a library of technical and conceptual information into their skill sets before they step up to the bandstand.”
