Practice Management: Future Dividends: Separating Advice from Investments | Michael van Lierop

Studies have shown that advisors typically spend upwards of 30% of their time in any given week dealing with client investments (re-balancing, trades, compliance, admin). What would it mean for you if you suddenly recaptured a third of your week? Image the savings in time and money if you could reduce overhead or re-assign staff to more productive work! In this impactful session with Michael van Lierop and sponsored by New Outlook Wealth,  learn how to earn the Freedom Dividend only at the 2024 Acuity Conference for Distinguished Advisors November 10-12 in Montreal.

With dramatic shifts in wealth management in Canada, thanks in part to a surge in new fintech solutions and a growing interest in lower cost investing, access to top-tier investment management in Canada is becoming mainstream. Today, advisors attached to dealers who use sales grids, compensation structures, and recognition programs as levers to manipulate advisor behaviour (and boost productivity) are riddled with conflicts of interest, pitting advisors against clients often in insidious and dangerous ways with a traditional model of asset allocation, picking funds or product, or in trying to outperform the index. How can an advisor reduce or even eliminate these issues? Adopt a new way of thinking. Become an advisor without a license, one who practices in a Real Wealth Management™ model that deliberately separates advice from investment management, leveraging 3rd party portfolio managers in a co-servicing client model.

Check out the online agenda, and our illustrious speakers and sponsors – and be sure to register by the September 30 early-bird deadline to join us in Montreal for the 2024 Acuity Conference for Distinguished Advisors!
