Most advisors effectively handle the money question. Few are adept at handling the emotion question.

While most financial advisors hold themselves out as "retirement planners," the reality is, retirement is a dying concept and will be gone as the boomer generation ages out. Today's leading advisors understand that the traditional 3-stage model of life--education, work, retirement--is giving way to a non-linear multi-stage lifestyle where people will cycle in and out of education, work, leisure, recreation, sabbatical, gig economy, and encore careers. And this new cyclical lifestyle will require significant changes in the nature of financial planning and the role of "saving for retirement."

Join ROL Advisor Co-Founders, Mitch Anthony, and Steve Sanduski, on Thursday, April 6, 2023, at 2 PM ET for a conversation on helping clients chart their own retirement course on their terms.

Smaller companies have long been looked to for their attractive return potential and this market tends to be less efficient as there is typically less information available on these companies. Morningstar helps investors address these hurdles and target this market segment with confidence.

Large-cap U.S. companies dominate investor portfolios despite the fact that there are far more small- and mid-cap (SMID cap) companies in the market

Financial professionals today are faced with many important topics to address with their clients. Some are more challenging than others, such as addressing the planning needs of women and communicating with them in a meaningful way. Our new client-facing seminar titled “Women, Wealth, and Wisdom: The Who, What, And Why Of Growing Your Client Base”, is designed to elevate the conversations you are having with women clients and prospects.

This is not the typical Women and Investing webinar you may have seen in the past. And, it is not investment education! Instead, it focuses on financial planning issues that we face at various stages of life. We accomplish that by offering 8 different case studies which will each have at least one correlated checklist/worksheet.

We begin the presentation by discussing the progress women have made in politics, business, education, earning power, and wealth. Then we move on to the case studies which have worksheets/checklists on the following topics:

First Time Home Buyer (w/Financial literacy checklist and First-time home buyer checklist)
Business Owner (with Business owner checklist)
Newly Widowed (With Executor checklist)
Newly Divorced (with Newly divorced checklist and Preparing for divorce checklist)
Caring for Aging Parents (with Longevity planning checklist)
Estate Planning (with Estate planning checklist)
Nearing Retirement (with Retirement readiness checklist)
Leaving a legacy -strategic philanthropy (with Philanthropy worksheet & checklist)

Key takeaway #1 – This is a fresh approach for client seminars directed at women and digs deeper into real-life issues than what you may have seen in the past

Key takeaway #2 – You can incorporate these checklists and worksheets into your financial planning/wealth management process

Key takeaway #3 – The worksheets and checklists are all fillable pdfs making it easy for you to use them with your clients and prospects

Russ Prince

Executive Director of Private Wealth magazine & Chief Content Officer for High-Net-Worth Genius

Ultimate Rainmaker is NOT for advisors who want to earn a little more. Ultimate Rainmaker is for advisors who want to earn 2x or 3x more. It’s for advisors who want a $1 million annual income or greater.Referrals are the most effective way for almost all advisors to find new wealthy clients. Referrals from other professionals—accountants and attorneys—regularly result in new high-quality wealthy clients. You’re probably well aware of this fact.

How effective are you at getting wealthy or ultra-wealthy or even super-rich referrals from accountants and attorneys? Most advisors are not very effective.

Ultimate Rainmaker is an empirically derived, time-tested methodology for building a steady stream of new wealthy clients for advisory practices. If you master Ultimate Rainmaker, the results are usually game-changing for the wealthy, for the accountants and attorneys you decide to work with, and for your advisory practice.

• One 1-hour live online group event

• More than 4 hours of educational videos

• Please go to hnwgenius.com to see the list of videos

• The educational videos are available on February 15, 2023, and for the following 4 months

In this masterclass, the following are some of the concepts and processes you will LEARN…

• How the wealthy—and more so the very wealthy—usually select advisors

• Who is the best kind of professional to work with

• How to identify accountants and attorneys who would make good advocates for your advisory practices

• Why it’s YOUR decision which accountant or attorney will refer you to their wealthy clients

• How to get more wealthy clients from your clients and why this will help you get more wealthy client referrals from accountants and attorneys

• How to become the expert the wealthy want and how you can help accountants and attorneys become thought leaders

• How to develop a deep understanding of the accountant’s or attorney’s practice

• How to get new wealthy client referrals in the very first meeting with an accountant or attorney

• How to get buy-in from accountants and attorneys

• How to leverage the Law of Reciprocity

• How to help accountants and attorneys become wealthier and never send them a referral

This masterclass is designed for technically capable advisors as well as senior management of advisory firms focused on substantially growing their businesses by developing a pipeline of new wealthy, ultra-wealthy, and super-rich clients.

The Great Wealth Transfer has begun, with trillions of dollars expected to pass hands from the baby boomers to their adult children over the next two decades. Yet how millennials expect that wealth to be invested and put to work often contrasts with their parents’ and grandparents’ views, giving rise to a lack of interest or frustration among some next-gen inheritors.

In this panel discussion, we will explore how the increasingly popular ESG investing (Environmental, Social and Governance, otherwise known as responsible investing) can help bridge the gap between generations, and what advisors can do to successfully facilitate wealth transfer discussions.

Many believe the dreams associated with the tech and telecom bubble more than 20 years ago are turning into reality today; yet disruptive innovation strategies like the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) have been crushed recently, apparently by fears of another tech and telecom bust. In fact, the decline over the last 15 months has been more severe than the decline following the Nasdaq peak on March 10, 2000.

Best Practices for Evaluating a Private Real Estate Fund Manager

Featuring

Michael Episcope

Co-CEO

Origin Investments

Since the beginning of the year, stocks and bonds have been under immense selling pressure due to rising inflation and increasing concerns over a potential recession. In a traditional 60/40 portfolio, bonds have historically played an important role in generating stable income and reducing risk, while stocks seek to deliver growth and capital appreciation. However, the rapid onset of inflation has caused the lure of the 60/40 portfolio to crumble and has forced many advisors to look to alternative asset classes such as private real estate to help achieve their clients’ financial goals. Today, more advisors than ever are considering private real estate for their clients’ portfolios in search of the inflation-protected returns, passive income and public market diversification that a private real estate investment offers.

Prudently entering into a new alternative asset class like private real estate can be both challenging and a heavy lift for advisors and requires careful research and due diligence. With a host of investment strategies, structures and managers out there, finding the real estate manager and strategy that is the best fit for your clients is key for successful execution.

In this webinar, Origin investments Co-CEO Michael Episcope will provide an overview of the different ways to invest in private real estate, how to avoid unforeseen landmines and how to evaluate the best options and managers available. He will discuss the differences between operators and crowdfunding platforms; syndications and funds; fees and reporting structures; and incentive mechanisms that ensure alignment between managers and investors.

Conscious Endeavors

Demand for ESG Investing is Surging. Since the 1990s, the movement among investors to “vote with their wallets” in support of companies that are making a positive impact has taken off. Today, with more than $35 trillion in assets worldwide, fund managers are broadly using ESG criteria to identify both risks and opportunities. In spite of growing demand, many advisors are still hesitant to talk to clients about ESG investing. One reason for this is the perception that doing good comes at a cost of earning competitive returns.

Financial Advisor Magazine is excited to help change this narrative through our upcoming webinar featuring Boston Common Asset Management, Conscious Endeavors and Magnifi by TIFIN. Join our virtual panel for an interactive discussion about:

How advisors can fulfill a dual mandate of financial return and social change

Many investors have never experienced the extensive risks and destructive portfolio impact that high inflation inflicts. Investors last faced inflation risk in the early-to-mid 2000s with the most notable bout of inflation occurring in the 1970s.

Over the last several months, the inflation debate has evolved from whether there would be any inflation at all to how high and how long it will last. With the first part of the debate seemingly settled and the answers to the magnitude and duration questions pointing toward higher and persistent, the need for investors to reconsider their portfolio exposures has taken on even more importance.

Join David Schassler, Portfolio Manager and Head of Quantitative Investment Solutions, for an examination of current inflation drivers and how to adapt allocations using real assets, including gold, commodities, and natural resources equities, to offset its potentially detrimental effects.

In this upcoming webcast, topics will include:

But to take full advantage of this unprecedented opportunity, advisors will have to deeply understand what younger investors are likely to demand in a financial advisor. Counting on your clients’ children to stay the course and invest the way their parents did is a likely recipe for disappointment. And new clients will also be driven more by expectations around personalization and technology, and less by loyalty or legacy models.

Your future Ideal Clients are people with money who are currently doing business with other advisors.

Advisors know growing their practice depends on optimal tax management — fully 80% of investors expect their advisors to minimize their taxes. But the vast majority of advisors conduct tax-loss harvesting only at year's end, missing out on major opportunities, and nearly half rely on less-than-optimal tools like email and spreadsheets to monitor portfolio performance. This “optimization gap” leads many advisors to worry they could lose clients due to a lack of effective tax management.

This supply and demand imbalance is expected to continue, creating unprecedented opportunities for investors looking to generate outsized returns by investing in multifamily ground-up development.

In this webinar, Origin Investments Co-CEO David Scherer will discuss the tailwinds in the current market environment that have Origin bullish on multifamily development, such as increased rent growth, rising inflation and shortage in housing supply. He’ll also discuss how private multifamily real estate benefits an investor’s portfolio and why an increasing number of advisors are allocating their clients’ portfolios to private real estate.

Accurately predicting price inflation is one of the most important prerequisites for predicting the outlook for the stock and bond markets. A bad inflation forecast almost certainly will result in bad investment choices in all the major financial markets.

In this video webinar, legendary Wall Street economist and investment strategist Dr. Ed Yardeni reviews the history of inflation. He assesses the various measures that are used to track both prices and wages and examines various inflation models--including the war & peace paradigm, the Phillips curve (cost push), the output gap (demand pull), monetary velocity, productivity, and the Age Wave. Dr. Ed also discusses deflationary forces and the Fed’s inflation targeting approach.

Advising Clients Through The Controllable Factors And Uncontrollable Risks Of A Retirement Spending Plan

Complimentary Webcast

February 8 | 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET

Video replay will be available soon.

Featuring


Schyler Adams, CFP Financial Technology Field Director	Mark Paulson VP, Hedge Business Development

A critical element of a successful retirement spending plan is creating consistent and sustainable income. When creating a plan there are four main variables you can control: the client’s retirement age, pre-retirement contributions, retirement income amount, and the asset allocation of the portfolio. After identifying a spending plan based on what clients can control, the plan is still exposed to four major uncontrollable risks: longevity, market returns, inflation, and portfolio shocks.

This session uses Monte Carlo analysis to help you better understand the impact of changing the factors clients can control as well as how sensitive the portfolio may be to uncontrollable risks. Additionally, we’ll evaluate the efficacy of adding a registered indexed linked annuity (RILA) with guaranteed lifetime income through an income benefit rider that is available for an additional cost to a traditional equity and bond portfolio to help clients better handle the uncontrollable risks they will face in retirement.

In this course we will:

Discuss factors you can help clients control when advising them on their retirement plans and how each recommendation affects the plan’s chance of success.
Discuss uncontrollable factors and how big of an impact they can have on an overall retirement plan
Show recommended retirement portfolios which include a RILA with the opportunity for increasing income available through a rider for an additional rider fee which can improve outcomes when facing the uncertainty of retirement.

This innovation transforms how you find more “advisor alpha” and manage income streams for your pre-retiree and retired clients.

Advisors who take control of the retirement conversation early are highly successful at retaining clients through the spend-down or withdrawal phase. Many advisors avoid the conversation about retirement because they use the incorrect platform to handle clients' decumulation needs during the withdrawal phase. Advisors who proactively discuss the retirement needs of their clients with the right platform have a secret weapon. They use technology to take control of the retirement conversation and help efficiently serve the unique needs of Boomer clients.

With the internet becoming increasingly affordable and accessible, billions of people in the developing world are now leapfrogging traditional consumption patterns and starting to consume online for the first time. The result of this rising middle-class consumer wave has transformed economies and produced new internet giants equal to or larger than their U.S. counterparts. While the Emerging Market internet and ecommerce story has been largely focused on China thus far, the story is evolving and accelerating to companies and consumers in India, Southeast Asia, South America and Africa.

Kevin will delve into the greater influence of this new consumer wave and the fundamental changes taking place in developing economies beyond China, their preference for online services and shopping via the smartphone and how Gen-Z will drive the next wave of this growing digital revolution.

The Pitfalls Of Hedged Equity—What Every Advisor Should Ask

Complimentary Inside Alternative Investments Conference Webcast

November 3 | 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET

Click here to view the video replay.

Featuring

Wayne Ferbert - Managing Director, Alpha DNA Investment Management

The Hedged Equity investment category continues to gain in popularity as investors look to lock in gains from all-time market highs while still participating in the equity markets. But hedging comes at a cost as nothing on Wall Street is free. The tactics used by Wall Street to pay for these hedges will vary by strategy. Despite varying tactics, the industry has one common characteristic: low upside capture due to the drag of the hedge. In this webcast, we will explore the tactics these strategies deploy and how the strategies can (and do) go wrong in the Hedged Equity portfolios resulting in low upside capture.

We take a deep dive on the 25 largest Hedged Equity mutual funds and identify which tactics are deployed and which managers disclose the win/loss results of these tactics. In other words, which managers are transparent about whether they are adding value to the portfolio with these tactics. When the advisor is done with this webcast, he/she will be ready to ask the tough questions of any Hedged Equity manager to perform a proper due diligence.

We will end the webcast with a profile of Alpha DNA’s Hedged Equity solutions and how Alpha DNA is utilizing machine learning and alternative data analytics to build a better mouse trap for Hedged Equity investors. Alpha DNA has one of the best upside captures in this space so they are uniquely qualified to profile these tactics for investors.

¹Source: NCREIF as of 1978-2020. Private real estate is represented by the NCREIF Open-End Diversified Core (ODCE) Index, an equal weighted, time weighted index representing a blended portfolio of institutional-quality real estate funds reported net of management and advisory fees (with the exception of the private real estate income data shown, which is reported gross of management and advisory fees). The term core typically reflects lower risk investment strategies, utilizing low leverage and generally represented by equity ownership positions in stable U.S. operating properties. Funds are weighted equally, regardless of size. While funds used in this index have characteristics that differ from net asset value (NAV) REITs (including differing management fees), Black Creek Group’s management believes that the NCREIF ODCE Index is an appropriate and accepted index for the purpose of evaluating returns on investments in NAV REITs.

A massive amount of money is set to change hands over the next several years, peaking in 2030, according to some estimates. Even before we reach that tipping point, Gen X and Millennials are projected to control just under 50% of the wealth in the US. But how they expect that wealth to be invested and put to work often contrasts with their parents’ and grandparents’ views – giving rise to frustration among some Next-Gen inheritors and sometimes a general apathy toward the wealth that will be entrusted to them. In this session, advisors, wealth planners and investment professionals will explore how the increasingly popular ESG investing, otherwise known as responsible investing, can bridge the gap between generations. Panelists will also provide ideas on what advisors can do to successfully facilitate wealth transfer discussions.

Broaching the topic of impact investing for the first time can be intimidating: You don’t want to imply there is something wrong with a client’s current portfolio or seem judgmental by pointing out a lack of ESG investments. But if you don’t bring it up, you could miss an opportunity to deliver something clients truly desire.

As bonds continue to generate low yields and equity markets at all-time highs, there is a significant risk-gap in portfolios, especially for retirees and pre-retirees. Structured Notes can fill this gap by increasing yield while preserving risk targets. In addition, these strategies can establish protection on equities without compromising growth. Used by private bankers for their ultra-wealthy clients, structured notes have been a slow and inefficient market, with no transparency, little liquidity, high fees and even higher investment minimums.

In this session, Jason Barsema, Co-Founder and President of Halo Investing will show how technology can be used to simplify Structured Notes with instant and competitive pricing, customizable terms, transparent fees, secondary liquidity, post-trade life-cycle management and investment minimums as low as $1,000. He’ll also show how Structured Notes fit into portfolios and how financial advisors can use this unique asset-class to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.

During this session, advisors will learn how Structured Notes can be used to:

Generate higher yields
Manage volatility
Establish protection in portfolios
Create a buffer against the sequence of returns risk

Of the many risks to one’s financial well-being, it’s clear that Alzheimer’s, dementia and other forms of cognitive decline rank at the top of the list. Not only is there a financial impact to the person affected by the disease, but there’s also a significant impact on their caregivers – especially on women caregivers. In this session, Angie will share key findings from an RBC Wealth Management-U.S. survey that uncovers just how financially devastating dementia can be on individuals, families and caregivers. And through her art, Nancy Carlson will share her experiences as a caregiver following her husband’s dementia diagnoses.

How To Put Your Client's Life At The Center Of The Conversation

Steve Sanduski, CFP^®
Co-Founder, ROL Advisor

Financial services professionals around the world are experiencing a historic inflection point in our industry. Ever-increasing regulation, heightened scrutiny, and eroded value propositions have collided and exposed just how similar most financial advisors’ services are. Toss in the accelerating pace of technological change and the generational-defining effects of Covid-19 and we have a perfect storm of disruption for the unprepared advisor.

The only value-proposition that can withstand the earthquake happening in our industry is the one that puts the client’s life at the center of the conversation.

Life-centered planning is a discovery process focusing on who the client is instead of the assets he or she has. By using this revolutionary model, advisors can demonstrate to clients how every aspect of their lives has an impact on their wealth-building or wealth-protecting process.

In this two-part educational event, industry veteran and coach Steve Sanduski, CFP® facilitates a conversation with life-centered planning pioneers Mitch Anthony and Paul Armson, authors of the new book, Life Centered Financial Planning: Helping Your Clients Get a Greater Return on Life.

In this exclusive conversation, you’ll learn:

What matters most to clients
Why a strong financial plan is much more than simply accumulating as much money as possible
How to build a business model that is good for everyone involved: the financial advisor, clients, and the organization
How to move from being a commodity to repositioning yourself as your client’s trusted advisor
And much more

Morley Ivers - President of OS33

The future of work is here… and here to stay. Today’s financial advisor is working remotely using personal (BYOD) devices and expects flexible any-device access to the apps and data necessary to get the job done.

This do-anything-anywhere-anyhow expectation fails to protect sensitive company data and creates new technology challenges for regulated financial services firms posing increasingly unacceptable business risks including data breaches, regulatory actions, damage to brand/reputation and loss of revenue.

With 72% of companies citing data leakage/loss as the top security concern related to BYOD, CEOs, CISOs, CCOs and technology leaders are caught between a rock and a hard place. How do these executives enable advisor flexibility without compromising security and FINRA compliance in 2021 and beyond?

Join Morley Ivers, President of OS33, to review the steps that over 400 financial services firms have already taken with Workplace to gain the visibility and control needed to mitigate the risks associated with BYOD and remote work while bolstering advisor productivity.
