I was pleased to find an essay today on this topic by Jean L.P. Brunel, titled <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cfapubs.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.2469\/cp.v29.n1.7\">Goals-Based Wealth Management in Practice<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Wealth management processes have not always been responsive to individual clients\u2019 priorities and modes of thinking. A model is presented and evaluated that uses goals-based wealth management concepts to generate module-built portfolios, each of which is driven by a client\u2019s expressed goals. This model allows for a high degree of flexibility and responsiveness to client needs with a practical level of standardization.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m a fan of the module-based approach to implementation, however:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>GenSpring uses four sets of goals-focused modules in creating portfolios:<br \/>\n1. Tax aware with nontraditional strategies,<br \/>\n2. Tax agnostic with nontraditional strategies,<br \/>\n3. Tax aware with only traditional strategies, and<br \/>\n4. Tax agnostic with only traditional strategies.<\/p>\n<p><b>Goals-Focused Modules.<\/b> Each of the four sets consists of nine modules that address all the categories of a client family\u2019s needs. The modules are contiguous, but each module must be sufficiently different to distinguish it from the others. Each module must also be optimal within the constraints created by inevitable trade-offs while leaving room for flexibility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<table border='1'>\n<tr>\n<td
