Program Description:
In a 2013 U.S. Trust study, nearly 90% of high net worth individuals said that giving back is an essential part of their lives, but only 55% say they have had conversations about philanthropy with their advisors. This interactive discussion will focus on how to introduce and guide the philanthropic conversation with clients so that they can be strategic in their giving and you can provide a more holistic wealth management solution. It will include case studies and best practices on how to uncover your clients’ passions and help align them with their giving and also focus on involving future generations in philanthropy.
