RIA Channel webinar replay- "Are You Playing Offense Or Defense"?
Webinar Recorded June 2022
The Fed is raising rates. Inflation is ballooning. The geopolitical landscape is hotter than ever. Managing these risks can feel daunting — but, if handled right, can present opportunities.

Topics will include:
- Looking forward vs. backward.
- Catching potential hazards (beyond the usual suspects) in a rising rate environment.
- Selecting the right portfolio structure.
- Identifying and capitalizing on opportunities.
