About NexGen: The next generation is comprised of new and aspiring financial planners who come from a variety of life experiences and backgrounds. Those entering the financial planning profession today do so in different ways. Some are students exploring financial planning as their potential vocation, while others are career-changers. Some are recent graduates preparing to take the CFP® examination, while others are joining firms at the ground level. The “next generation” is no longer defined by age but rather by where you are in your career.

We monitor four critical building blocks as we think about our outlook and the specific rationale for our research.  We will provide insight with an empirical perspective that assists our capital market professionals.  This “Active Insights” research will examine scenarios that we believe will most likely play out and the most sensible approach for financial success.

TOPIC #2: The Professional Referral Method: Becoming the Trusted Advisor
SPEAKER: Scott M. Tatum, CIMA, CFP®

About the presentation: In today’s challenging environment, Financial Advisors are increasingly marketing not only to clients, but also to professional intermediaries who serve as gatekeepers to wealthy families. To accommodate this shift, Financial Advisors must change their messaging from one that is valuable to one that is referable. The Professional Referral Method offers four specific strategies for executing a messaging process to this new market. This program provides instructions for creating warm introductions to professionals, then teaches how to develop a referable message, structure a presentation for an intermediary, and close a meeting for an action.

About the Speaker: Scott Tatum is the Director of the AB Advisor Institute, where he provides and helps develop consulting and training for financial advisors and key leaders at AB’s partner firms, specifically in the areas of strategic marketing, effective communications with clients, and practice-management strategies. He joined AllianceBernstein in 2008 from MFS Investment Management, where he was a regional vice president. Tatum’s three-decade career includes eight years as regional vice president at OppenheimerFunds and seven years as national sales manager at financial services firm HD Vest. He holds a BBA (cum laude) in marketing from the University of North Texas.

TOPIC #1: Strategies for the Current Tax Landscape
SPEAKER: Dave Vogel

About the presentation: The current tax environment is one of the most unique we have seen in American history. Within recent years there have been numerous legislative packages that have shaped the tax regime we are currently under. The decisions of those preparing for and already in retirement have been impacted in a major way. In this presentation we will discuss both the tax issues to avoid and the opportunities that financial professionals may want to discuss with clients and prospects.

About the Speaker: As a senior advanced markets consultant, Dave Vogel helps educate financial professionals on a variety of topics – including tax-efficient retirement, estate, and business planning strategies. Prior to joining Allianz Life Company of North America in 2013, Vogel was with ING on the Advanced markets team for several years. He also was with several brokerage firms as a producer since 2001. Vogel earned his accounting degree from Saint John’s University in Minnesota. He holds CFP, CLU, and ChFC designations, as well as FINRA Series 7, 63, and 66 securities registrations.

TOPIC #2: Driving Better Portfolio Outcomes with Low-Correlation Strategies
SPEAKER: Kris Jaenicke

About the presentation: This presentation will explore the changing investment landscape and challenges faced by the traditional asset allocation process (“Is long only, 60/40 dead?”). We will also introduce methods for adapting portfolios in the changing world, including “do’s and don’ts” when adding low correlating assets to model portfolios.

About the Speaker: Kris Jaenicke began his career in 1987 with MFS Funds and spent 15 years in the traditional “long-only” mutual fund world. Since 2002 Mr. Jaenicke has represented alternative investments ranging from private equity to hedge fund strategies. Kris is an accomplished speaker and expert on low correlating strategies.
