TY - GEN N2 - We study three fundamental components of financial agency settings: Perception and communication of investment profiles, the interaction of agents? and clients? preferences, and the role of (non-)monetary incentives. The perception of investment profile terminology is very heterogeneous, resulting in substantial miscommunication between clients and agents. Financial agents show a high willingness to implement their clients? preferred investment profiles independent of monetary incentives. Agents? investments for their clients are biased by their own investment preferences.
