Your Investment Future: What to Expect and How to Plan For It

There are a number of recent investment industry research studies highlighting emerging trends with implications for how investors, professionals and firms may need to respond to the evolving environment. This presentation will include key highlights and observations from these surveys, and a discussion of their ramifications. The objective is to shape a framework for what investors can expect, how it may impact their approach to investing and, for those who choose to hire professional advisers, some key aspects of how to zero in on identifying and evaluating specific services of value.

You will learn…
  • Emerging trends in the investment industry and their implications
  • What changes may be appropriate for you to consider in your personal investment process, in view of changing trends
  • If you engage an industry professional, who to hire, for what, and how to evaluate their services
