AGENDA:

 
Opening Remarks

 
11:00 AM - 11:05 AM
  Planning for the inevitable — how people think about longevity, the psychographics of a successful retirement, and how you can help your clients be better prepared

Featuring:
Moderated by Chuck Failla, CFP, Founder & CEO, Sovereign Financial Group
Glen Franklin, ChFC® RICP®, AVP, RIA & Lead Gen Strategy, Jackson
Gal Wettstein, Senior Research Economist, Boston College
Seth Radow, Managing Director, Senior Portfolio Manager, Apollon Wealth Management

 11:05 AM - 11:50 AM 
  Longevity risk is unique among retirement planning factors — it impacts everyone, it is impossible to forecast, and it changes over time with improvements in medical science. It’s important to learn more about how your clients are thinking about longevity risk and what that means from a planning perspective. 

Meanwhile, retirement planning necessarily has a strong focus on financial outcomes. Yet, your clients may consider many other factors when determining what contributes to a successful retirement. In fact, the most prepared clients from a financial standpoint may not be the happiest overall. 

This featured panel of speakers will discuss recent research findings from two studies — one exploring longevity risk from both advisor and investor perspectives, and the other looking at the personality traits, attitudes and behaviors associated with a happy retirement. They’ll share research takeaways and describe how retirement solutions that are being increasingly adopted by RIAs can be integrated into clients’ financial plans to combat longevity risk, grow assets and protect consumers’ hard-earned savings with a guaranteed paycheck for life. 
 


Fee-based annuities have evolved and are now easier than ever for RIAs to access, deploy, and manage

11:55 AM - 12:25 PM
 

While historically shunned by RIAs due to their operational inefficiencies, annuities have gained an unfair reputation. The recent push for further digitization of fee-based annuities have opened the doors to simplifying the selling process. Given the cost-of-living crisis in North America, retirement planning has never been more difficult. The advancements and operational improvements in annuity products allow RIAs to cater to a wide variety of retirement needs. Join a panel of experts as they discuss how fee-based annuities have evolved and grown to meet the demands of the current realities.
  Closing Remarks
