This is a bittersweet moment. We are recording this on April 26, and April 30 will be my final day at VettaFi, after which I will no longer be associated with the Advisor Perspectives publication. This will be the final episode of the nearly 500 that I have hosted for the Gaining Perspective podcast.There is no better topic to discuss in this podcast than the state of journalism in the advisory profession. “The profession of journalism exists, at its best, to inform and occasionally correct the record, to right a wrong, especially an awful thing that is wrong.” Those are not my words, but those of my guest today, who stands at the pinnacle of the journalism profession for advisors.Here are some links on this topic:Bob Veres' Inside Information service - https://bobveres.com/ Bob Huebscher's farewell article - https://www.advisorperspectives.com/articles/2024/04/23/farewell-robert-huebscher?topic=global-markets
Earlier this month, I attended Bob Veres' Insiders Forum conference in San Antonio. As it is every year, the highlight of the conference is Bob's presentation of the Insiders Forum leadership award. This year's recipient was Angie Herbers, my guest today. I cannot overstate the significance of this award. Virtually every other award in the advisor profession is part of a pay-for-play scheme, where the award is made with the expectation that the recipient will pay to attend some expensive dinner or to get the right to use the award publicly. But this award is purely merit-based and recognizes the contributions that individuals have made to advance the advisor profession.Those contributions were evident in the presentation Angie made about her most recent research after receiving her award, and she is here today to share some of those findings.-Here are a few links to resources:Herbers & Company consulting- https://www.herbersandcompany.com/Angie's LinkedIn page- https://www.linkedin.com/in/angieherbers/Angie's prior research on the relationship between money and happiness- https://www.herbersandcompany.com/trending/the-value-of-a-financial-advisorAngie's article about selling a minority stake to a PE firm- https://citywire.com/ria/news/ask-angie-should-i-sell-a-minority-interest-to-private-equity/a2428327A message from Advisor Perspectives and VettaFi: To learn more on this and other topics, check out our full schedule of upcoming CE-approved virtual events.

Financial DNA - Discovering Your Unique Financial Personality for a Quality Life!
Do you have the right clients? This is a very topical issue for many financial planners, particularly those who have already built a business to a reasonable level. Actually, it is as important as the client selecting the right advisor. In the end there must be a mutual relationship with the parties comfortable with each other. The relationship cannot start out (but it often does) with the client simply having dollars in the bank account and some financial planning needs, and on the other side the client believing the advisor has the skills and the necessary integrity. In fact, these are all assumed to get to the point of the first meeting. Bob Veres of Inside Information (www.bobveres.com) has written a great article this month called "Segmentation or Bust" mainly directed at advisors to consider the structure of their client base.
