Book Description
To truly be successful, today’s financial advisor must strike the right balance between effectively engaging with his or her clients and finding meaningful ways to maintain their financial security. By framing your mission in this way, you can help your clients clarify their vision, build a plan to achieve it, and manage that plan so they stay on track. Nobody understands this better than authors Timothy Noonan and Matt Smith—two seasoned financial professionals with over five decades of combined experience working in the asset management business. And now, in Someday Rich, they show financial advisors with clients who are rich, or have the opportunity to become rich, how to sustain a client’s desired lifestyle to, and through, retirement. Engaging and informative, Someday Rich provides the context, description, and implementation suggestions for the Personal Asset Liability Model—a process that will allow you to determine a client’s funded status relative to their future spending needs as well as develop and monitor their investment plan accordingly. While the methods in the Personal Asset Liability Model may not have been practically accessible to past advisors with a large number of clients, this model now brings together the technical methods to answer important client questions in a way that is feasible and includes the communication strategies that can make the delivery of the advice model more effective. Along the way, this reliable resource discusses the business of giving good advice and addresses how to incorporate these steps into a client engagement road map. Insights on various other issues associated with this discipline are also included, such as how to develop client trust and deliver personalized service when you have so many clients, and contingency risks—life, health, disability, and long-term care—that need to be considered in the financial planning process. And in later chapters, single-topic essays, contributed by experts in the financial planning field, cover issues ranging from target date funds and the investment aspects of longevity risk to modern portfolio decumulation. Building more valuable relationships with your clients is a difficult endeavor. But with Someday Rich, you’ll discover what it takes to achieve this goal as you put them on a path to a sustainable financial future.

Rich People Things
Author: Chris Lehmann
Publisher: Haymarket Books
ISBN: 1608461521
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
"Social criticism at its scorching-hot best."--Barbara Ehrenreich "Think H.L. Mencken crossed with Jon Stewart."--The Phoenix In Rich People Things, Chris Lehmann lays bare the various dogmas and delusions that prop up plutocratic rule in the post-meltdown age. It's a humorous and harrowing tale of warped populism, phony reform, and blind deference to the nation's financial elite. As the author explains, American class privilege is very much like the idea of sex in a Catholic school--it's not supposed to exist in the first place, but once it presents itself in your mind's eye, you realize that it's everywhere. A concise and easy-to-use guide, Rich People Things catalogs the fortifications that shelter the opulent from the resentments of the hoi polloi. From ideological stanchions such as the Free Market through the castellation of media including The New York Times and Wired magazine, to gatekeepers such as David Brooks, Steve Forbes, and Alan Greenspan, Lehmann covers the vast array of comforting and comprehensive protections that allow the über-privileged to maintain their iron grip on almost half of America's wealth. With chapters on Malcolm Gladwell, the Supreme Court, the memoir, and more, no one is spared from Lehmann's pointed prose. Chris Lehmann is employed, ever precariously, as an editor for Yahoo! News, Bookforum, and The Baffler, while dissecting the excesses of his social betters for his column Rich People Things at TheAwl.com. He lives in Washington, DC, with his wife Ana Marie Cox and a quartet of excellent pets.

A Good Year On Belle Ile en Mer
Author: Byron Lehman
Publisher: Byron Lehman
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Belle Île en Mer is a placid jewel off the French coast in the Bay of Biscay. Its rocky shores are said to be at times brutal yet surrounded by a brushed blue sea and a clear blue celestial canopy overhead. The sandy beaches adorn it like sequins dashed along the fringes of a majestic robe. It is neither costumed in opulence nor shrouded in poverty. It is gentle and inviting. It is a secret place and a place for privacy. It is an island that listens and never speaks. Its secrets are carried far by the winds and scattered among the swells beyond. It is more than the common humble farms, modest homes, tranquil green pastures, gentle sloops, and rounded hilltops. It is not the small clusters of houses huddled into bergs and villages quietly existing for the sake of trust, fidelity, and friendship. It is all things in concert. Like the face of beauty, grace, and elegance. It is a confident smile amid the sea. Some say the best things in life are the things not planned and the randomly unexpected. Rich Larsen never knew of Belle Île en Mer’s existence until a few months before his arrival. It is there he resides for the next year of his life. That year will be like no year he will ever experience again. It is far beyond the adventures of the past or the unseen ahead. His heart will remain there forever.

Ezzard Charles
Author: William Dettloff
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476619476
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Greatness is often overlooked in its own time. For Ezzard Charles--one of boxing's most skilled practitioners, with a record of 93-25-1 (52 KO)--recognition took decades. Named by The Ring magazine as the greatest light heavyweight of all time, Charles was frustrated in his attempts to get a shot at the 175-pound title, and as World Heavyweight Champion (1949-1951) struggled to win the respect of boxing fans captivated by Joe Louis' power and charisma. This first-ever biography of "The Cincinnati Cobra" covers his early life in a small country town and his career in the glamorously dirty business of prizefighting in the 1950s, one of the sport's Golden Ages. Charles' fights with Louis, Jersey Joe Walcott, Rocky Marciano and his three wins over the legendary Archie Moore are detailed.
