Today’s guest is JD Gardner, CIO & Founder of Aptus Capital Advisors, which provides risk-managed strategies designed to help clients stay invested through market cycles.

Today’s episode has an overarching theme that can be summarized by a quote from JD himself: "A strategy's return is much less important than an investor's return while exposed to the strategy." JD explains how they provide solutions to help bridge the behavioral gap and use options provide investors with income and downside protection so investors don’t capitulate at the exact wrong time. JD also spends some time discussing the OCIO part of the business and lessons working with advisors in that capacity.
