Negative Rates Driven By Demographics, Says Fritz Meyer In 4.9-Star Rated CE Class

Day after day for 45 years, Fritz Meyer has analyzed economic fundamentals driving finance and investment.  I've had the privilege of speaking with him weekly about his point of view for nearly a decade.
  

Fritz's views evolve slowly, even as conditions constantly shift. Now Fritz has figured out the proximate cause of the yield curve inversion. Guidance developed based on decades of intellectual rigor, Fritz lays a path through an amazing set of facts explaining the smart way to long-term strategic wealth management decisions for professionals. Fritz is a world-class economic sherpa who has survived the 45-years of treacherous financial history, and his record since he started teaching CE classes since March 2011 record his wisdom in a verifiable public track record. 

    REPLAY  

The tectonic shift in financial economics Fritz has now fully articulated in this class -- a thesis as not in the consumer press as yet --  is likely to influence advisor asset allocation decisions for the next decade, if not two. 

 

Germany’s labor force problem is a key factor in his calculus, but Fritz only realized the importance of Germany after looking at demographic trends in Japan, China, U.S. and other developed-nations and coming to understand Germany’s pivotal role as the No. 2 issuer of sovereign debt. Fritz's dogged tracking of what's important, such as the axiom that GDP is equal to the sum of productivity and labor force growth, seems so simple, but having the discipline and clarity of mind to sustain a fact-based research focus for decades is hard.      

 

 

Last week's advisor-client content campaign dealt with explaining it in a 21/2 minute video. It was also available in our advisor marketing dashboard in the form of tweets, articles, emails, animated GIFs, scripted presentations, and a searchable database, along with knowledge from Robert Keebler, CPA/PFS, a leading tax and financial planning educator to the legal and accounting professions for over three decades who has taught on A4A since its inception in 2009, and monthly research on model portfolios you can implement for about 10 basis points annually in classes led by Craig Israelsen, Ph.D., an academic distinguished by his record of publishing monthly in Financial Planning and 10-year history of teaching CFP CE classes on A4A.

It is not possible for me to overstate the cumulative value that Craig and Fritz have added for over 10 years to my investment advisory practice, as well as for personal and family financial planning. A4A gets my highest recommendation
Lynn Najman, CFP®
I’ve subscribed to A4A since its inception, and always find it intellectually stimulating and on point. It’s one of the few CE solutions out there that doesn’t waste my time by pushing product or talking down to me.

A4A has had a profound effect on my business. Since 2009, I’ve relied on the consistent messaging and updates to run my business successfully. Being able to present the information from Fritz, and Craig's ongoing CE webinars has been a significant benefit.

I've been a financial professional and professor of finance for 35 years and find Fritz Meyer to be among the most engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and experienced presenters I’ve encountered. They deliver an extraordinary amount of information in an extremely interesting way — sequentially and developmentally, utilizing pedagogical tools and techniques that few possess.  A4A to is the most consistently excellent CE program available.  
Ron Roge, MS, CFP®
I’ve been attending A4A many years because the CE classes are outstanding, and my time is valuable. Though I have over 35 years of experience, I’m always learning something new on A4A. I attend fewer conferences now because the CE is generally not advanced. If you want to learn from the best, in a faster, easier, and less expensive way, I highly recommend A4A.

John R. Day, CPA/PFS®

I wouldn't miss a Fritz Meyer webinar unless my pants were on fire. I've relied on Andrew Gluck's knowledge systems --client communications and CE -- for two decades. It's simply the best solution for tax, financial, investment, and risk-management professionals.®   

Dan Hawley, CFP® 

A4A, for over a decade, has been a great resource for useful and accurate information and CE. A4A and Advisor Products are bargains for an advisory practice.
