TOPIC #1: Strategies for the Current Tax Landscape
SPEAKER: Dave Vogel

About the presentation: The current tax environment is one of the most unique we have seen in American history. Within recent years there have been numerous legislative packages that have shaped the tax regime we are currently under. The decisions of those preparing for and already in retirement have been impacted in a major way. In this presentation we will discuss both the tax issues to avoid and the opportunities that financial professionals may want to discuss with clients and prospects.

Prior to joining Allianz Life Company of North America in 2013, Vogel was with ING on the Advanced markets team for several years. He also was with several brokerage firms as a producer since 2001.

TOPIC #2: Driving Better Portfolio Outcomes with Low-Correlation Strategies
SPEAKER: Kris Jaenicke

About the presentation: This presentation will explore the changing investment landscape and challenges faced by the traditional asset allocation process (“Is long only, 60/40 dead?”). We will also introduce methods for adapting portfolios in the changing world, including “do’s and don’ts” when adding low correlating assets to model portfolios.
