(WEBINAR) Help your clients prepare for the unexpected (May 3, 2023)

Watch the 1 hour recording of this webinar that covers common “what if…?” questions including:

  • What if we don't get the rates of return we're expecting?
  • What if my income dips and I can't save what we've planned?
  • What if I get sick and need to take a leave of absence from work?
  • What if I can't continue working until I'm 65, or don't want to?

Along the way, we’ll also educate you on some of Snap’s most useful functionalities to help your client answer their questions.

For this session’s Case Study, we focus on providing answers & recommendations for a single client aged 53, Linda Gill. We'll also add a partner for Linda in her projections and then go over what happens if her partner passes away unexpectedly.
