9 Bottom Line As an industry, we are not helping enough Americans adequately prepare for their retirement. What if this trend continues?
10 Bottom Line We ll get help
11 Bottom Line So what can we do? Provide value to business owners Provide positive retirement plan experiences to business owners and employees alike Business owners want more by wanting less GIVE IT TO THEM! Own the issues, then call in the cavalry Regulatory developments Industry and product developments Legal developments Investment developments Work with partners, but divorce yourself from providers
12 Advisor Alpha What is Alpha?
