How and why to move beyond “Probability of Success” in retirement planning webinar featuring: Jeff Brown, President of Stratos Private Wealth, Jamie Hopkins, Managing Partner of Wealth, David Blanchett, Managing Director, Head of Retirement

But it’s now clear that retirement isn’t pass/fail and that today’s retirees need directions, not scores. Our panel of experts will discuss why it’s important to move beyond “probability of success” scores in retirement planning and how to communicate with clients without focusing on this misleading statistic, both for better client outcomes and for better client experiences and communication.
