Overlooked Gap in Financial Advice
Presented by Candance Jennings, LUTCF, CPRIA, President, Candace Jennings Consulting The industry is experiencing a strong fee compression driven by an acceleration of asset flows into low-fee passive products. This is further compounded by the rise of robo-advice, i.e. the use of automation and digital techniques, which is profoundly impacting clients' views of who financial advisors are, and what they should be paid. Given these pressures, FAs need to look for ways to continue to provide value to their clients and justify their fees. In addition, clients are expressing a desire for FAs to manage their entire financial picture, not just their investments. Ina recent Oliver Wyman survey, 85% of successful families stated that it is of significant importance that their financial advisors act as "quarterbacks" to help them navigate all of their financial matters. These clients view their financial needs as complex and global in nature, and may also want their FAs to partner with experts in other areas to assess and address their specific needs. Learning Objectives:
With over 25 years of experience in the Private Client insurance market, Candace has expertise in meeting the complex and often unique insurance needs of affluent and emerging wealth clients. She has a consultative approach that goes beyond a typical insurance process. By understanding as much as possible about her clients, she can help them to not only understand and address the potential risks to their wealth and lifestyle but also to provide an array of solutions. Candace built an agency that became a significant part of the Lake Oswego community and was respected for its high-quality delivery of services. Over a short period of time, Candace and her team became experts in the Private Client and Family Office space. The company was acquired by Woodruff Sawyer in 2011 with the intent to expand those services. Candace stayed on as Vice President of the Private Client division until October 2014 at which time she left Woodruff Sawyer to spend time with her aging parents and enjoy a brief sabbatical. Candace is a long-time resident of Lake Oswego, Oregon. She attended Lake Oswego High School and graduated from the University of Oregon. She holds licenses in Property and Casualty, Life and Health as well as Consulting. She is also a Life Underwriters Training Council Fellowship (LUTCF) and has recently completed the Certified Private Risk Insurance Advisor (CPRIA) designation. She is a founding member of the Private Risk Management Association (PRMA.) Along with her business activities she enjoys participating in many community activities. Candace is married to her husband, Gil; they enjoy hiking, running and golf. Course is approved for 1 CEU with Washington Insurance Commission. Applications for 1 CEU has been made to the CFP Board and Oregon Insurance. 10:00 - 10:20 am
Networking Break with Exhibitors & Attendees 10:20 - 11:10 am The upturn is entering its third year with sub 4 percent unemployment and inflation at multi decade highs. The problems facing policy makers have morphed from supporting the ecosystem to throttling inflation. The Russian invasion of the Ukraine has shocked many commodity markets as well as adding to upward pressure on fossil fuels that was underway. The Fed has reacted with increased rates, and switching from QE to QT. Financial markets have weakened and the risks of a looming recession have increased. Prospects and risks for the coming year will be covered as well as things to watch. Oregon ,like many states, is closing in on pre-recession employment levels. Generous fiscal support and robust financial markets resulted in a kicker-very different from other recessions. Population growth diminished in 2021 and housing affordability issues remain. Prospects and risks for the state will be discussed. Learning Objectives:
John received his Ph.D. from the University of Oregon and was a Professor of Economics at Boise State University for 13 years before joining U.S. Bancorp where he was Chief Economist / Western Region Economist until 2007. John was a member of the Western Blue Chip Forecast Panel, a Trustee of Aquila Tax-Free Trust of Oregon and a board member of Oregon Mutual Insurance Company, Western Capital Corporation and Northwest Bank.
