"The Shifting Advice Landscape (and how to succeed in it)"

In a world where consumers can order transportation, movies, and even groceries online, how will they choose to receive financial advice? And what will those preferences mean for the individuals and traditional financial companies who wish to provide that advice? Bill McNabb, chairman and former CEO of the Vanguard Group, will show attendees how dramatically the landscape of financial advice has transformed in just a few decades. From modes of delivery to models of compensation, he will explain why firms that provide planning and advice can’t afford to stand still. Most importantly, he will share Vanguard’s perspective on how financial advice professionals can best position themselves for the future.
