Financial advisors, program managers and executives affiliated
with a bank or credit union face the same challenges as other
independent advisors, plus many others unique to their business
relationship. To help financial institution advisors with those
issues, Securities America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ladenburg
Thalmann Financial Services Inc., (NYSE MKT: LTS; LTS PrA),
recently hosted its Financial Institutions Conference.
This year’s conference, held Aug. 16-17 at the company’s
headquarters in La Vista, included training on topics such as:
retirement income planning, positioning clients for changing
interest rates, fixed income/bonds and bank loan portfolio
protection. In addition, industry experts in compliance and
supervision led a comprehensive workshop covering the Department of
Labor fiduciary rule.
For Gail Curry, vice president of F&M Bank in West Point,
Neb., the conference reinforced the added value an advisory program
brings to her financial institution.
“It really opened my eyes on different things,” Curry said. “I
wrote down things we need to bring to our deposit side and what we
can discuss with customers. It just keeps us thinking about our
advisory program and making sure we are offering it to our
customers as well.”
Debra Wolf, an advisor at Foresight Bank in Plainview, Minn.,
said the sessions shed new light on common topics.
“Yesterday, one of the speakers talked about understanding tax
situations for clients,” Wolf said. “It was phenomenal. It was
in-depth. You don’t get that every day.”
This is the third year Securities America has hosted the
conference. The popularity of the event has grown each year, said
Gregg Johnson, Securities America’s executive vice president of
branch office development and acquisitions.
“The buzz in the room was all the advisors sharing ideas and
best practices with their peers while learning about new products
and services from our sponsors,” Johnson said.
