How investment products are distributed today is the result of decades-long changes in
customer needs and decision-making processes, regulations, and advances in
technology. While some aspects of the distribution process have seen significant changes, some aspects — like sales incentive compensation — have largely remained the same. This conversation among some of the savviest distribution leaders in the industry will ask “what would distribution look like if we started from scratch?” Don’t miss this unique exercise to learn what reimagined distribution could look like.
