What is a Workshop?

• A. A budgeting feature
• B. A group of investment portfolios
• C. A tax form
• D. Client enters prelim information on topics they are interested in

Answer: (D)

A workshop is a collaborative intake session where the client shares initial information about the topics they’re interested in, so the advisor can tailor the planning process. It’s about gathering prelim data—like goals, concerns, timeframes, and areas to focus on—before diving into detailed analysis. This helps set the agenda, align expectations, and prepare personalized questions or scenarios for the planning session. It’s not a budgeting feature, a group of investment portfolios, or a tax form, which are different tools or documents used for other purposes. For example, a client might indicate they want to explore retirement planning, education funding, and risk tolerance during a workshop, guiding the advisor on what to cover and how to structure the plan.
