Understanding Personal Liability Exposures
Sponsored by Chubb Personal Insurance

Jim Fiske

  CFP Board CE credit: 1.0 (pending approval)
  Liability coverage is perhaps the most important component of a personal risk management plan because it can provide a significant amount of financial protection for an individual in the event of a lawsuit. Unfortunately, it is often overlooked and rarely updated to reflect changes in an individual's life and financial profile. Using some real-life personal liability claims, you will better understand the likelihood of a lawsuit occurring to a client and the limits available for asset protection.

Why Invest in U.S. Commercial Real Estate When Capital Markets Are in Turmoil
Sponsored by TIAA-CREF

Martha Peyton, PhD

  CFP Board CE credit: 1.0 (pending approval)
  Assessing real estate market conditions in this time of uncertainty and turbulence is no easy task for real estate managers and investors. While the uncertainties associated with the economic outlook and financial markets' dislocation might seem to make it a good time to sit tight until there is clear evidence that economic and capital markets conditions have stabilized, such deer-in-the-headlights behavior creates no value for investors. This presentation intends to explain how we as investors understand the current situation and how we identify investment opportunities not despite the turmoil but because of it.
