Michael's brief to Saywell

Margaret and David have both emailed asking about moving to cash after the AI bubble headlines. No change for either. Neither of them needs to sell anything. Draft my replies.

To: Margaret Ellison · You don’t need to sell anything

Steady and reassuring

Reassurance first

Hi Margaret, It’s good to hear from you. A question like this deserves to be taken seriously, and I’m glad you asked. The most important thing first: your income for the next three years is already set aside, in steady investments that don’t depend on the stock market. So I’m not recommending any change. You are right, we talked about this when we set the plan up. Markets fall, and we made sure a fall would not affect your income. Your investments are spread across far more than the technology companies in the news. I’ll call you Thursday so we can talk it through properly. You’re on track, Margaret, and my job is to keep it that way. Michael

To: David Okafor · Cash question: my recommendation and the reasoning

Analytical and direct

Reasoning first

Hi David, Short answer: no, I don’t recommend moving to cash. Here’s the reasoning. Your concern is legitimate. AI valuations are stretched and index concentration is real. But neither tells us when a decline starts. Moving to cash trades one known risk for two unknowns: when to get out, and when to get back in. Your investments are spread well beyond US mega-cap tech, and your rebalancing bands exist for exactly this: if concentration pushes a holding outside its agreed range, we trim it. That’s a rule, not a judgment call made under pressure. I’ll send your current allocation against its target ranges so you can run the analysis yourself. The risk you’re pointing at is real. Cash just isn’t the right tool for it. Michael

Same question. Same recommendation. Two different emails. Both sound like Michael.

Illustration with made-up clients.

The invisible mistake.

Experienced advisors know that when they talk to a client face to face or on the phone, they can tell how the interaction is going. The advisor sees the client’s face change and hears the client hesitate. If something worries the client, it can be caught in the moment and the conversation adjusted. With years of experience, this becomes so instinctive it barely registers.

An email gives the advisor none of that feedback. It is written, sent and read out of sight. There is no way to know whether the client will take it as helpful or pushy. Clear or cold. Nothing can be softened halfway through because the advisor is not there when it is read.

So the advisor does the only thing possible. Before sending anything, the email is read and reread. A sentence is changed, then changed back. Is it too direct, too long or too blunt? An assistant may be asked to look it over, or a generic AI tool asked to make it sound warmer.

To: Ruth Calloway · Subject: About our recommendation

The email has been rewritten.

Shortened.

Started again. Still not ready to press Send.

“I don’t want this to come across the wrong way.”

“I need them to understand why.”

“I need them to act.”

“I want it to sound like me.”

And after pressing Send, the advisor rarely finds out how it was received. A client won’t call to say an email felt cold or that something in it rubbed them the wrong way. Some clients just take a little longer to reply. Others don’t act on the request. And after a while, the odd client stops replying at all.

Every email an advisor sends a client is quietly impacting the relationship, one way or the other. Most clients who leave an advisor don’t leave over the advice. They leave because, somewhere along the way, they stopped feeling understood. They stopped feeling like a priority.

That’s why experienced advisors think so carefully before sending some emails. They are right to.

Generic AI writes average emails.
Good advisors make judgment calls.

How can I say this better?

Should I lead with reassurance, or get straight to the point?

Should I explain more, or less?

Should I challenge them, or encourage them?

Should I send an email, or pick up the phone?

Some advisors try generic AI tools like ChatGPT. They type in the situation, ask it to make the email warmer, or shorter, or more professional. What comes back doesn’t sound like them. It’s too enthusiastic, full of words they’d never use, or it just reads like a robot wrote it. So they end up rewriting it anyway. And then there’s the quiet discomfort about where a client’s details just went, and what the AI company will do with them. The client’s name. What they hold. What they are worried about. Typed into a personal AI account where, unless someone has changed a setting, those conversations may be used to train the model.

The judgment calls you’re making, about this client, this situation, this wording, are the real work. They’re what experienced advisors do every day.

Because your clients chose you. Not ChatGPT.
