With a new year brings a new roster of events, each dedicated to educating financial advisors on top trends for 2023 while working to enhance retirement security for millions of individuals.
As Americans fear a possible recession and a rise of interest rates, its likely these topics will dominate the retirement and financial advisory space for a portion—or all—of 2023. Additionally, the passage of SECURE 2.0 into law and its long-term impacts, along with navigating the extensive law, will fuel topics on retirement legislation for 2023 and years to come.
Below we highlight a few of our spotlight events for 2023—where we anticipate these conversations dominating the retirement space.
