Dueling Economists: Shehriyar Antia Draws 4.7-Stars, A Complement To Fritz Meyer

Eight weeks ago, economist Shehriyar Antia visited A4A world headquarter in Jericho, NY, and we planned his next presentation. Shehriyar just needed some pointers on using PowerPoint. he needed ti make the visual presentation better by using graphics instead of words in slides, by showing charts and math behind his conclusions. He’s a quick study. Look at the 33 comments below from your peers!

Shehriyar is a former senior analyst at the NY Fed, where he managed Treasury portfolios supporting quantitative easing. He’s brilliant and a great partner. Since he does not know many advisors and is not a marketer, I suggested he peg some of his ideas off of Fritz Meyer’s monthly presentation. Why not give Fritz followers an independent view of Fritz's analysis from a world-class economist and former Fed-insider? Some comments below nailed it by saying SHahriyar Antia is an excellent complement to Fritz Meyer's monthly anaysis,

Shehriyar is a quarterly contributor to A4A. He is a graduate of the The of International And Public Affairs at Columbia University, as am I, and and he somehow saw my work on A4A from a link in the alumni list. When we met, it was obvious from the start that we would help each other. We're doing it, and A4A members like what we're doing!

Shehriyar’s average rating was 4.7-stars.

Comments:

I appreciate economics webinars like this which help me in discussing expectations with clients, even though I mostly use index funds and a passive approach in my portfolios.
Quality information with solid delivery
Very informative
Very informative overall.
Great speaker. His predictions sound based in fact, but only time will tell!
Lost the sound at several points was difficult to get back on track
I like that he takes a position on where to invest.

Fabulous!!!
I liked the fact that the speaker provided some specific suggestions regarding bonds, emerging markets, etc for 2016.
One of the best I have heard
The presentation was well prepared, very informative and understandable. Realistic assumptions and facts, optimistic in some areas and cautious in others. Great Job !
Solid presentation. I would love to hear him again...maybe dueling commentators with Fritz Meyer?
Excellent!
I thought it was very intelligent and very informative.
Each time Shehriyar speaks to the A4A community, something valuable is taken from it. As Andy said, he is very easy to listen to, calm and measured in his presentation, and amazingly accurate. It may have been last March 2015, perhaps even a month or two before that, and Shehriyar was speaking on A4A and predicted the first Fed rate hike would be in December. No one else was willing to say that then but he was absolutely correct. It would be nice to hear Shehriyar speak on a regular basis to A4A. Thank you.
Great
He was very detailed - compared to others i've heard which are more 500 ft up - your speaker brought us down on street level. GREAT JOB
Excellent information with clear reasons for statements made
Excellent - appreciated the practical tips at the end
Excellent presenter & presentation. He is very knowledgeable and willing to challenge the mainstream. Original and insightful.

It is not possible for me to overstate the cumulative value that Craig, Bob 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.

Pete Deacon, CPA, CFP^®

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 Bob, Fritz, and Craig's ongoing CE webinars has been a significant benefit.

Fredric Mayerson, MBA, PhD, CFP^®

I've been a financial professional and professor of finance for 35 years and find Fritz Meyer and Robert Keebler 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’ve been a member since 2011 and never miss the monthly webinars with Fritz Meyer. I appreciate Fritz’s independent views on the economy and markets and Bob Keebler keeps me updated on excellent tax planning ideas. A4A is a great value!

Norman Politziner, CFP

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.

I get CPA CE credit and CFP credit for the webinars. But not only that, the A4A content is terrific
