Powerful Strategies for Managing Money with ETFs
Monday, November 9 • 8:30 am – 11:30 am
Since market selection accounts for more than 90% of investment performance, why is it that most advisors spend relatively little time and resources managing markets exposure? Jack Ablin, chief investment officer of Harris Private Bank, and Tom McManus, chief investment officer, Wells Fargo Advisors, will lay out their approach for selecting markets.
In this session, you will learn their investment outlooks, strategies they recommend using ETFs, the ETF product suites to deploy, when it’s not optimal to use ETFs and tax consequences, as well as the pitfalls and opportunities.
These two veteran strategists have seen all kinds of markets in their illustrious careers, and they can help you find the best opportunities today, evaluate the level of risk in today’s environment, identify valuable circuit breakers to avoid excessive losses, and help you put it all together to make it work for your practice. For the first time ever at the Financial Advisor Symposium, these two renowned strategists have agreed to share their winning strategies—don’t miss it!
 Attendees will receive an autographed copy of Jack Ablin’s new book, Reading Minds and Markets: Minimizing Risk and Maximizing Returns in a Volatile Global Marketplace.
This session has been approved for 3.5 CE credits by the CFP Board of Standards.

Senior Suitability: Regulations, Problems and Solutions
Monday, November 9 • 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
When the Securities Exchange Commission, FINRA, and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) all focus on the importance of senior suitability issues, it's time for financial advisors and insurance professionals to gather as much understanding about bullet-proofing their practices as soon as possible.
This session, taught by Michael Zmistowski, president of First Gulf Advisors, Inc., is based on working with senior investors in an ethical, respectful, and informed manner that exceeds state insurance training as well as SEC/FINRA’s Mary Schapiro’s statements regarding age and life-stage factors.
In this session, you will learn:
| • |
The impact of NAIC/FINRA’s new definitions |
| • |
Balancing client needs with appropriate products and services |
| • |
Aging issues – identifying capacity |
| • |
Policies and procedures to protect senior investors |
| • |
Updates on senior designation accreditation marketing |
| • |
Real-life protection documentations |
| • |
(In)appropriate use of alternative investments |
| • |
Fiduciary considerations |
This session has been approved for either 3 hours of general CE credits or 2 CE credits towards the code of ethics requirement by the CFP Board of Standards. It also meets the “Senior Suitability” continuing education requirement now mandated by the State of Florida and other states.
