The WealthStack Podcast: Why Every Client Should Feel Like $100M with Libretto’s Jeff Coyle

The WealthStack Podcast: Why Every Client Should Feel Like $100M with Libretto’s Jeff Coyle

What if your clients could actually see how every dollar of their wealth supports their life goals, without relying on a Monte Carlo simulation or generic risk questionnaire?

In this episode of the WealthStack Podcast, host Shannon Rosic is joined by Jeff Coyle, founder and CEO of Libretto, a platform built to help advisors deliver holistic, personalized wealth strategies. Drawing on decades of experience serving ultra-high-net-worth clients, Jeff shares how Libretto takes institutional-grade planning concepts, like liability-driven investing, and makes them accessible, intuitive, and actionable for all investors.

Shannon and Jeff discuss:

  • Why traditional risk tolerance tools often miss the mark—and what to use instead
  • The role of LDI in hedging real-life client needs—not just targeting returns
  • How Libretto empowers clients to move from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance
  • Why personalization (not simulation) is the future of financial planning
