Introducing the 2022 Series
We’re continuing to work with the Paraplanners Assembly creating a varied programme of interactive online events, helping you to navigate the hot topics affecting the world of paraplanning.
We believe you’re the backbone of financial planning. You’ve got an amazing level of technical knowledge and we want to support you in the ever-changing financial landscape.
And better still – all the sessions are CPD accredited!
This follows up on our kick off session on Trusts
What's being covered?
In our first session we covered the basics of reading a Trust deed. If you missed it you can catch up here.
Now, in part 2 we’re returning to our popular CSI (Case Study Investigation) format, with a focus on IHT and Trusts. Our panel of paraplanners will dissect a real-world planning scenario and come up with their solution.
Then, our regular expert hosts, M&G Wealth’s Head of Technical and the Paraplanners Assembly’s Richard Allum will then give their ‘post-match analysis’ giving you the opportunity to get answers to your burning questions.
What’s under the microscope?
We’ll be covering these learning objectives:
- Understand the key building blocks of an IHT strategy
- Planning considerations when using standard insurance company trusts
- Explain the operation of standard insurance company trusts
Get a head start and read the case study.
When’s it happening?
Wednesday 18 May 1pm - 2pm
