Select your learning mode
Are your investment returns falling victim to hidden costs? It's time to shed light on the unseen expenses that can significantly impact your financial outcomes.
In this online webinar, Ph.D. of Statistics (Econometrics) and creator of Personal Fund Stefan Sharkansky will shed light on the hidden costs clients pay when investing in mutual funds and ETFs. We’ll look at the direct and indirect costs advisors are missing when evaluating funds, the substantial compounding impact these have on clients’ actual investment returns (and advisor AUM), and how advisors can help clients control costs for reliably better investment outcomes by screening funds based on their holistic cost profile.
Major Topics Covered:
Join this CPE Finance Webinar we’ll also explore the potential impacts better cost analysis can have on advisors’ practices, including client sentiments around fees and how illuminating and managing external fees can give advisors an edge in prospect conversations while helping to make clients less sensitive to advisory fees.
