To help you gain insight into how other advisors are facing the challenges of the markets and their practices, we survey financial advisors on a quarterly basis for their opinions on their practice, clients, products, and their plans to allocate among different asset classes. We share the results of this survey along with our own perspective in the Financial Professional Outlook. This quarter, Russell collected the opinions of 313 financial advisors working for 132 national, regional and independent advisory firms nationwide on topics like market sentiment, volatility, advisor views for 2012 and more.
