Answering the Important Questions

Answering the Important Questions

For me, the best part of working at Baird is the people I get to work with. Mike Antonelli is a great example. A Market Strategist for our Private Wealth Management business, Mike, like me, is the author of a blog where he shares insights on the market and our industry for readers like you. Also like me, Mike is often a guest speaker at client events in Baird’s branch offices across the country.

 I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Mike and talk about our experiences at those events, and it turns out we get a lot of the same type of questions from clients concerned about whatever might be happening in the world and how it could impact their financial futures. We know Financial Advisors get these questions, too, and most are some variation of “Are we going to be okay?” This realization led to one of the best conversations I’ve had about the purpose of wealth management and the potential value a good financial advisor can add in people’s lives. You can read a transcript of it here.
