Agenda

1:00 pm

Welcome

1:10 pm

Becoming a Forward-Thinking Advisor
Lawrence Miles, Author and Principal, AdvicePeriod

As traditional wealth management service models are rendered obsolete, asset gathering alone is no longer a strategy for success.   Wealthy clients expect better tools of engagement, seek instant access to information, technology-enabled solutions and excellent, individualized service – all at a competitive price. 

You already know this, but what changes are you implementing in your firm to embrace such clients?

In his book It's That Simple: How to Build the Professional Service Firm of the Future, Larry Miles, wealth management executive, author and executive coach, discusses his model for the “forward-thinking advisor.” In this highly interactive session, Larry will engage with attendees on his strategies for driving growth at his firm, AdvicePeriod.  He shares insights about building a team and a culture, building a business (and, no, it’s not by focusing on AUM), and leveraging technology to enhance the advisor-client experience.

Hire, Train, and Retain Your Most Valuable Asset: YOUR People
Beverly D. Flaxington, Author and Co-Founder, The Collaborative

Today’s hyper-competitive market for talent, combined with secular workforce shifts, demands a different approach to the recruiting, hiring and employee development processes.

In this session, Beverly seamlessly picks up where Larry leaves off.  She drills down on strategies for:

  • Hiring - When and how to select the right person for YOUR team;
  • Onboarding – Why it’s so important and how to make sure you’re doing it the right way;
  • Retention - what matters to team members, the importance of teambuilding and how best to do this, using the SHIFT® Model to guide team members to success.

Beverly will take attendees through interactive discussions on how business leaders and teams can identify and reach their human capital goals. You will work in teams to identify obstacles, goals, and solutions in hiring, training, and retaining talent at family wealth firms.

Advisory Research Investment Management, headquartered in Chicago, was founded in 1974. Our primary goal is to help our clients achieve their investment objectives through sustainable long-term returns. We began as a U.S. value equity boutique focused mainly on high net-worth individuals. Since that time we have grown our asset base, expanded our client base to family offices, endowments, foundations, as well as intermediaries, and branched out into other active management approaches.

Over time we have embraced a philosophy throughout our strategies: actively different. This goal means we concentrate on markets off the beaten path—that offer diversification alongside a core portfolio. It also means we use our deep experience to craft highly differentiated portfolios within these areas. We believe that, within inefficient markets, well-designed, carefully researched portfolios standing apart from benchmark indexes work best to deliver outperformance to our clients. Academic research supports this perspective.

Our U.S. Value team invests across market cap ranges that emphasize strong balance sheets as well as the possibility of positive transformation. This investment team also offers a Strategic Income portfolio melding different asset classes to create total return with income. Our MLP & Energy Infrastructure team, based in St. Louis, employs two differentiated approaches within this income-producing energy niche and has the longest track record in this space*. We also have an Energy Fund that works within the changing environment brought on by the ability to extract energy from shale resources located in the U.S. Our International team explores undervalued smaller companies outside the U.S., including an emerging markets portfolio. Our U.S. Growth team uses a systematic, time-tested approach to find those companies best poised to benefit from the thematic forces changing our economy. Our Global team uses a strategy emphasizing sustainable dividends from sturdy, high-quality companies around the world.

We believe our newest offering blazes a new trail. Our Partners Fund is a value portfolio holding between 5-15 high-conviction holdings. We actively engage with company management teams in order to encourage actions that will unlock value. We think of this strategy as a private equity approach in public equity markets.

We deliver these distinct investment opportunities through differentiated processes, specialized products, efficient operations, and high touch client service.

Advisory Research, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Piper Jaffray Companies.
