The Jensen couple is engaged in a joint financial planning process but is experiencing significant conflict regarding their portfolio allocation. Mr. Jensen prefers a high-equity growth strategy, while Mrs. Jensen expresses anxiety over any potential loss of principal.

Which structural approach is most appropriate for a fiduciary to recommend to address this behavioral discrepancy?

  1. Calculate the weighted average of their two risk tolerance scores and implement the resulting midpoint allocation.
  2. Segregate the portfolio into specific, purpose-based sleeves with separate owners and distinct risk profiles.
  3. Weight the allocation toward Mrs. Jensen's preferences to ensure the portfolio remains within the family's overall risk capacity.
  4. Recommend the purchase of a variable annuity with a guaranteed minimum income benefit to provide growth potential with a floor.
