For decades, we had to learn to speak the language of computers. With AI, computers will finally learn to speak the language of humans. It’s almost certain that some of the new technologies will end up costing humans their jobs because history shows machines have often disrupted our lives in ways we didn’t see coming. However, Artificial Intelligence won’t replace all humans, but humans working alongside AI will replace humans working without AI. The final step of any revolution is when the new technology becomes invisible by becoming so much a part of our lives that we don’t notice it anymore. This presentation is designed to answer the question…How do I harness AI so that the technology becomes invisible, but you, the financial advisor, do not? ...less

We believed that once the pandemic was over, we would return to business as usual. Nothing could be further from the truth. What used to be no longer is and many of us don’t know what to think of this new economy in which we now live.
Mark will draw on his experiences of working with Sir John Templeton, Michael Price, and Dr. Mark Mobius to discuss the most important economic events happening right now. He will deliver an informed outlook focused on HOW WE GOT TO NOW and where we possibly go from here. ...less

While working for Sir John Templeton in the mid-1990s, he once told me that the person who says, “This time is different, when in fact it’s virtually a repeat of an earlier situation, has uttered the four most costly words in the annals of investing.” That was over 25 years ago, and even though many of Mr. Templeton’s sentiments on investing remain true today, is this one of them? In this presentation, I will discuss how we got to now and where we go from here. I will also explore the more current events which are not rooted in any historical context that might conjure the question, “Is it different this time?” ...less

We live in increasingly uncertain times; rapid economic changes, global unrest, and bi-partisan bickering have all led to an underlying sense of uncertainty. In addition to the current climate, headlines are screaming that robots and artificial intelligence are going to eliminate workers’ jobs.
What if they are all wrong? What if we are merely extrapolating the present and ignoring the possibilities of the future? History books are full of examples of previous revolutions that came and went; the industrial revolution, the railroad revolution, electrification, mass production, and now, quite possibly, the information technology revolution. In this presentation, you will discover how we are nearing the end of this revolution while another is just beginning, providing a fresh wave of prosperity.

The business of financial advice has changed continually over the last 40 years. In 1983, when Mark passed his Series 7, his business card read “Stock Broker.” Then came the titles “Investment Advisor” and “Financial Planner.” Today the buzzword is “Comprehensive Wealth Manager”.
But this isn’t just a name change on a business card; it’s a fundamental change in the way we run our business and market our services. In this highly regulated business of finance, where we all provide a similar cookie-cutter service, we need to ask ourselves, “What am I doing to stand out from the crowd?”
Consider this: today, the average investor does business with six to eight different financial professionals: they have a banker, a CPA, a mortgage broker, a life insurance agent, and two, three, or four different financial advisors. The average high-net-worth investor is working with four different financial advisors and when they retire, they want to go from working with six to eight professionals to one or two. The question you must ask yourself is: will I be the advisor that the money is being transferred to—or being transferred from?
I’m going to teach you how to be the former! ...less

For over six years Mark Zinder was employed as the national spokesman for one of the most respected money managers in the world, Sir John Templeton. During this time Mark would be asked to speak on behalf of Sir John Templeton at locations around the world. Quite often, these trips were designed to reward some of the top producers in the financial industry. After his presentation, Mark would often speak individually and continue to correspond with these high-level producers. The most often discussed topic was, “Out of all the financial advisors in the United States (roughly 600,000 of them) what is it that you do that makes you one of the best?” Over the years of interacting with these advisors and evaluating what makes them successful Mark has pinpointed the common traits of the most successful advisors in the country. In this high-energy, thought-provoking presentation you will hear insightful observations from Mark, who was in the trenches and learned from the people achieving the highest levels of success. ...less
