Ryan M. Fleming, CFP® President’s Message
Dear Fellow Members,
Our Winter Symposium was fantastic, despite the weather and technical challenges. Swirling winds and a snowstorm
caused an 8-car pileup on the Toll Road, but that didn’t stop our members from showing up at 6 a.m. for Ethics or 8
a.m. for the regular program. About 30% of our members attended and were treated to a fantastic day of learning,
networking, and CE. Friday’s event, run by our outgoing chairman, Eric Hess, CFP®, was the best attended FPA NCA
event in more than 8 years.
A special thanks once again to our sponsors, without whom this chapter wouldn’t run the same. There are great partners
at every level of association – Preferred, Premier, Gold, and Silver. They continually support our chapter and make
events like the Winter Symposium affordable for groups like ours. Most importantly, they provide tremendous
speakers. Dennis Moseley-Williams, whose time was donated by Brad Pheeney of Putnam, had our cynical group of
advisors laughing at 5p on Friday evening after some had been there for 11 hours at that point. Preferred sponsor Bob
Ciullo of Charles Schwab contributed Kathy Jones for an engaging fixed income discussion, and Premier sponsor Jeff
Kulik of Fidelity convinced Fidelity managing director Bruce Johnstone to give his thoughts on the market and the
world. They really are partners in our efforts to learn, growth, flourish, and contribute.
If you haven’t been to a meeting in a while, you don’t know what you’re missing. Listening to conversations around the
lunch tables and seeing advisors interact is the thing that inspires me about FPA. Don’t get me wrong – I love our
speakers and programs; but the cross-practice idea sharing and ad hoc mentorship I see every single meeting is
amazing. There are always opportunities to meet new advisors with new ideas, old advisors with new ideas, or old
advisors with old ideas that just work. Some of the best practices in our region were built on the collegiality fostered at
FPA lunch-and-learns. In fact, one practice was just formed as a result of relationships formed at FPA.

As we continue our push for more interaction and more integration with FPA’s national NexGen group
through board member and FPA liaison Laurie Belew, your presence as experienced advisors and successful
business people is critical at events like our March NexGen Happy Hour or our chapter’s Career Day (more
on this in a future issue). Whether it’s a formal mentorship or just a friendship formed over lunch chatter, the
bonds formed at FPA are what keep our industry moving toward the coveted designation as a profession by
those outside of our practices. I remember, more than a dozen years ago, studying for the CFP® certification
exam while waiting for my car rental, and chapter member Wayne Zussman, CFP®, sitting in the same rental
office, saw my books, struck up a conversation, and sought me out at future FPA lunches. It made a world of
difference for me as a newer member and just made it more comfortable to go to meetings every month. This
is part of your responsibility to grow our next generation of advisors.
On February 28, 2013, at Bethesda Country Club, we have a Media Training Program. In this presentation,
Scott Peterson, our Communications and PR Director will explain key components in working with the
media, as well as the new media relations of social networking. Remember that Media Training is required to
be a member of our Media Response Team. And, yes, you do have to go through it every year unless you are
a Past President of our chapter. In 2012, our chapter received more than 500 media inquiries and speaker
requests. After our Media Training Program, our Luncheon Program’s featured speaker is Jonathan Salter,
PhD, CFP®, and AIFA®, who will discuss recent Journal of Financial Planning research co-authored by Dr.
Salter, industry veteran Harold Evensky, and Shaun Pfeiffer regarding the use of standby reverse mortgage
lines of credit as supplemental income for a diverse set of retirees. This is not your father’s reverse mortgage
presentation and can find application in even the most sophisticated planning practices. You need to learn
more about this to better serve your clients.
If there is a particular topic or speaker that you would like to hear at our chapter, please email our Program
Committee chairs, Kathleen Sindell and Bryan Beatty.
Stay engaged. Please encourage your friends, colleagues, and the newer members of your firm, to participate
in our chapter so that they can benefit from our exceptional programs and resources. And don’t hesitate to let
us know how we can enhance your FPA NCA membership experience.
Best regards,
Ryan M. Fleming, CFP®

FPA NCA PRESENTS:
February 28, 2013, Bethesda Country Club, Bethesda, MD
11AM – 2PM Luncheon
Standby Reverse Mortgages:
A Risk Management Tool for Retirement Distributions
The objective of the session is to discuss recent research published in the Journal of Financial Planning by John Salter, Harold
Evensky, and Shaun Pfeiffer. The presentation discusses the use of reverse mortgages as a cash and investment management
tool. Based on academic research conducted by the presenter, the use of a HECM Saver reverse mortgage line of credit to
supplement income needs based on deviations of a client’s expected retirement wealth glidepath was analyzed in terms of
increasing portfolio longevity and ability to meet goals. Presentation will discuss the reverse mortgage product, this
investment and cash management strategy using the product, and results of the research.
The idea behind the study was to investigate mitigating the risk of reverse dollar cost averaging in retirement distributions by
borrowing from a reverse mortgage line of credit when the portfolio is down relative to a capital needs analysis to meet goals,
then paying the line of credit off when the portfolio rises. With the projections of low returns with high volatility, these issues
are indeed timely.
The proposed session discusses a use of reverse mortgages in mainstream financial planning and investment management, as
well as other potential uses of the product. This idea challenges the view of reverse mortgages from a tool of last resort.
Speaker: John R. Salter, PhD, CFP®, AIFA®
John is an Associate Professor of Personal Financial Planning at Texas Tech University. He teaches in the areas of retirement
planning, investment management, and financial planning capstone, and his research interest is in the area of retirement
planning and income management. John is also a Vice-President and Wealth Manager at Evensky & Katz Wealth

FPA NCA Communities of Learning FPA Connect, FPA’s new social platform allows members to share best practices and expertise. FPA NCA recognizes
that some members may be interested in study groups or “communities of learning” to further develop their financial
planning expertise in different topic areas. FPA NCA would like to encourage anyone who is interested in either
facilitating or joining a community of learning to email Rita Cheng at [email protected]. Some
suggested communities of learning are divorce planning, special needs planning, planning for same sex couples, just
to name a few. We are certainly open to additional suggestions and ideas.

and are based on the FPA National Web site procedures located at www.fpanet.org. (FPA NCA Sponsor Partners may also

Composition Approach
Audience
Keep our readers—primarily experienced financial planning professionals—in mind as you write. Provide timely, practical
material that applies to, or will directly benefit, financial planners in their work. Take into account that your article is not an
advertisement for your firm or services. Assume the reader has a fundamental but not esoteric knowledge of the financial
services industry.
Style
Your writing style should be easy to read and follow, yet professional. Thoughts and concepts should be clearly presented
and easy to comprehend. Examples that illustrate key points are encouraged.
Organization
Stay focused on guiding the reader through the paper. State early its purpose, the material it will cover, and why that material
is important and useful to the reader. Clearly summarize the paper's premise and key findings or recommendations.
Objectivity
Content should be objective and avoid mentioning or promoting specific financial products or services. Any statements or
assertions should be supported by sufficient research and data.
Research
Academic research in financial planning should have a direct and demonstrable application or benefit for financial planners.
All research should be readily accessible by editorial staff, review board members and readers.
Length
Manuscripts should run approximately 5,000 words .
Continued on Next Page
FPA National Capital Area Newsletter Page 14 February 2013
Continued from Previous Page
Format
Your name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, and a brief biography should be on the cover page. For blind-
review purposes, the second page should consist of the title and an executive summary of no more than 250 words, but not
your name.
Executive Summary The executive summary, ideally in a bulleted list, should tell readers what they can expect from reading your paper, including
all major points and broad conclusions. Do not attempt to sell the reader on the merits of the article. Include information such
as whether your article is a primer, for the experienced planner, or for planners at any level and highlight any specific
opportunities for practical application of your data.
Infographics
Infographics—tables, drawings, graphs, charts, or other visual support material—should not be excessive in length or in
number.
Endnotes/References
The FPA NCA uses an author/date system. While there are too many variations based on the variety of sources to cover here,
