MMI Sales & Marketing Leadership Summit 2018 | Money Management Institute (MMI) | 20 March 2018 | Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel and Marina, 700 S Florida Ave, Tampa, FL 33602, USA

Amid profound shifts on the technology, demographic, and regulatory fronts, there is lots of industry conversation about what the delivery of advisory solutions and the Financial Advisor of the Future will look in 5, 10 or even 20 years. Meanwhile, advisors are on the front lines every day grappling with clients’ evolving needs and increased expectations. This year’s Summit will take a step back and examine the advisory solutions landscape from the practitioner’s point of view. What are the greatest challenges and opportunities as seen through the advisor’s lens? And what, in turn, are the ramifications for asset managers and sponsor firms in terms of such key issues as overall business strategy, advisor engagement and support models, product development, use of digital, etc.?

Among the topics we’ll tackle:

• An Evolving Value Proposition? Firms are increasingly encouraging advisors to focus on client relationships and asset gathering rather
than investment management. Where are these efforts gaining traction, and what are the implications?

• Blurring Lines – As the distinction between the institutional and retail marketplaces continues to fade, how does that impact advisory
distribution models? How are firms refining distribution roles, and where are they placing the biggest bets?

• The Impact of FinTech – Sponsor firms and asset managers are racing to adopt “digital” across all business fronts and to arm advisors
with new automated advisory tools. What is the uptake, and what are the major challenges to adoption?

• A Solutions Mindset – Low cost, transparency, goals-based, multi-asset, ESG, alternatives these are just a few of the themes that
come up in any discussion of advisory product. But which are the top priorities for advisors and clients and how does that inform how
managers and distributors should think about product development and the solutions they deliver?

• The Gatekeeper Effect – If the advisory tides are shifting in favor of home-office and third-party strategist models, what is the knock-on
effect on asset managers? How are gatekeeper relationships changing, and what will they look like in the future?
