Presented by:
Paul Spitzer, Advanced Practice Advisors
Carolyn Taylor, Weatherly Asset Management
Herb Morgan, Efficient Market Advisors
Carlee Harmonson, Union Bank
30th Anniversary Celebration
The Del Mar Foundation presents a two-hour panel discussion with local diverse financial professionals who welcome an open audience dialogue.
At this session, the goal of the panel is to provide an understanding of related costs associated with investing and how they affect you as an investor. The panelists will define the differences between banks, trust departments, brokerage firms, investment firms, money managers, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and other fund structures.
The panelist will present the differences between the role of a Fiduciary and the ‘suitability standard’ to which many companies adhere. You will learn how Trusts play an important role in asset ownership and the correlation of taxes, management, administration fees and investment performance.
Designed to give local residents an opportunity to “ask the experts,” the Del Mar Foundation Legacy Planning Series continues their 30th Anniversary Educational Series.
