| Next Meeting At: The City Club, 155 Sansome Street, San Francisco Tuesday, November 11, 20149:00 am – 2:00 pm
Topic: Tax-Optimized Wealth Management Speaker(s): Doug Rogers, Author of “Tax-Aware Investment Management – The Essential Guide”, Scott Welch, Co-founder and Former CIO of Fortigent, other speakers TBA Program Description: Wealth management is an ongoing cross-disciplinary dialogue. Where this conversation often falls far short in forwarding client goals is around tax management – which is more interdisciplinary and more important the wealthier a client is. The technical tilt of the program will focus on how portfolio management should be integrated with income tax, estate tax, and charitable strategies. Investment professionals will learn practical and reliable ways to improve after-tax risk-adjusted returns. Estate and tax professionals will learn how to play a more proactive role in guiding their clients’ investment professionals to better after-tax outcomes. Private clients who attend will learn how to determine their advisors’ level of tax intelligence and proactivity. I Can’t Make It *This program is currently under review by the CFP Board for 4.0 hours of CE credit.
