About the Course

Introduction

This webinar will examine how inflation, Federal Reserve policy, debt levels, tax law direction, and geopolitical developments are reshaping the financial landscape and directly influencing planning decisions. Our panel of experienced investment professionals will connect economic trends with real world portfolio strategies, highlighting how changing market dynamics, interest rate volatility, and evolving investment structures are affecting both business owners and individual clients.

Description

As traditional planning assumptions are challenged, including the breakdown of the 60/40 portfolio model and increased market volatility, understanding how advisers are adapting asset allocations, incorporating ETFs, and using hedging techniques to manage risk is key. Clients are making high-stakes decisions involving Roth conversions, business sales, debt management, and investment repositioning, while shifting tax policy and economic conditions continually alter outcomes.

Listen as our panel explains how today's economic uncertainty is influencing decisions made from investment shifts and Roth conversions to debt strategies and business exits—and provides practical insight into how to evaluate these choices through both a market and tax lens.
