Deloitte, 2025Four behavioral dimensions. One complete investor picture.
FIPI® measures Zeal, Inhibition, Swag, and Conventionality — the dimensions that reveal how a client actually behaves, not just what they say they prefer.
FIPIⓇ behavioral scan
Pulse scans for four core traits as profiles come into focus.
As advisors move through setup and profile review, Pulse makes Zeal, Inhibition, Swag, and Conventionality easier to see, explain, and apply.
Drive and engagement energy.
Zeal
How actively an investor pursues financial goals — and how much momentum they expect from the advisory relationship.
Caution and risk sensitivity.
Inhibition
How much uncertainty a client can tolerate before pulling back, disengaging, or second-guessing decisions already made.
Confidence and decisiveness.
Swag
How strongly a client trusts their own judgment and how readily they act on — or push back against — advisor recommendations.
Deference to authority.
Conventionality
Comfort with established frameworks vs. openness to exploratory or non-traditional approaches to investing.
Every investor maps to a behavioral profile.
FIPI® produces nine distinct archetypes from the four dimensions. Each one tells an advisor how that client communicates, decides, and behaves when markets move.
Explore the full methodologyTrailblazer
High Zeal · High Swag
Momentum-driven and impulsive. Overestimates upside, moves before fully thinking.
Futurist
High Zeal · Moderate Conventionality
Forward-thinking and adaptable. Confident but prone to idealistic self-conflict.
Guru
High Zeal · High Inhibition
Passionate but reactive. Emotionally inconsistent when volatility spikes.
Diplomat
High Inhibition · High Conventionality
Security-first, structure-dependent. Avoids calculated risk even when it serves them.
Pulse in practice
Profile to coaching. Before the meeting starts.
When a Rainmaker completes FIPI®, Pulse converts the behavioral profile into communication guidance, objection prep, and a coaching framework — before the advisor walks into the room.

Use structured monthly summaries. Values framing and social impact context land well.
Monthly is right. Avoid frequent check-ins — urgency language triggers withdrawal.
Lead with values alignment, not performance. ESG and impact framing resonates.
Tracy Complacency. Review loops can become avoidance. Name the delay and reframe it as a decision point.
Behavioral signals. Built into every client interaction.
Every completed FIPI® profile generates a set of advisor-facing signals — specific, actionable context the advisor can apply before, during, and after the client conversation.
Matched to Zeal level.
High Zeal clients expect frequent, momentum-driven touchpoints. Low Zeal clients need space — over-contact triggers disengagement.
Balanced from Inhibition and Swag.
High Inhibition + Low Swag signals reassurance-first framing. High Swag requires evidence-led positioning — persuasion feels patronizing.
Pre-built for the profile archetype.
Each archetype reacts to market movement differently. Pulse surfaces the expected reaction pattern and the advisor response that works for that profile.
Behavioral context before the conversation.
What matters to this client, what to avoid, and what language frames are most likely to land — pulled from the profile before the advisor walks in.
Named behavioral bias per archetype.
Each profile carries a primary behavioral tendency that works against the client's own goals. Pulse names it and tells the advisor how to address it directly.
Generated from Foe and trait context.
The likely objection pattern for this client — and the framing that resolves it. Specific enough to use in the room, not a generic script.
From survey completion to client-ready next steps.
Profile first. Review second. Guide the conversation. Then act across planning, alerts, and CRM follow-up.
