FPA-NENY programs can help enhance your awareness
of issues affecting many people.
Can’t find it? Contact Stephanie.
Whether you do comprehensive financial planning or specialize in just one facet of it, there are so many topic areas that a CFP® needs to have knowledge about.
The broader the scope of your knowledge, the more value you bring to the client relationship. Just think of all of the topics covered in the CFP® study program!
Because financial planning is about the client’s entire financial life, it is so important to be aware of how little details fit into the big picture. The key is recognizing the issues and being able to provide solutions, whether you do so yourself or turn them to someone who handles that area.

VIRTUAL: WINDS OF CHANGE: an update on financial markets given the current political and economic landscape
Speaker: Brad Rutan – MFS
Since the dawn of time winds have shaped our planet, and while humans are unable to control where, when and how the wind blows, it hasn’t stopped us from attempting to harness it, particularly for our benefit. Analogously, there are four distinct winds which are currently, or soon to be, affecting risk in the market. These winds of change have originated out of government stimulus, corporate credit, politics and globalization. Just as humans are powerless to control the wind, investors cannot control these winds of change. Fortunately, the absence of control does not equate to a lack of opportunity. Join MFS’s Brad Rutan to explore how investors can take advantage of these developments.
Learning Objectives:
- Understanding the current and near future market risks.
- Learning the associated risks of Government stimulus, corporate credit, politics, and globalization.
- Finding the opportunities within each risk factor.

Health Meets Wealth: HSAs Role in Retirement Savings
Speaker: Ryan Tiernan – American Funds
Rising health care costs are critically affecting the way people save for retirement. To help participants save more for retirement, advisors need to know how to talk with clients (employers and employees) about how health care costs can affect retirement readiness. One way to do that is to understand health savings accounts (HSAs). As more advisors become fiduciaries, this understanding can help them provide even more value to clients while differentiating their practices.
Health Meets Wealth: What Role Do Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) Play in Retirement Investing? is a presentation designed to help intermediaries better serve their plan sponsor clients by addressing participants’ overall well-being and planning for retirement success.
In this session, we will focus on three key areas:
Health Care’s Impact on Retirement
We will discuss how rising health care costs are affecting both the employer’s bottom line as well as the employee’s available benefit allowance.
The Value of Understanding HSAs
We will show how, by understanding HSAs, intermediaries can expand their value proposition and further differentiate their practices from other defined contribution advisors.
Considerations for HSA Investments
We will provide some guidelines for investments within an HSA, including target audience considerations, investment thresholds, share class optimization and target date funds as a potential solution.
Please join us for this informative and action-oriented discussion.
