The AAII San Francisco Chapter presents...

"Fidelity Outlook: Quarterly Market Update"

    Discussed by:

    William Gabri, CFP
    Vice President, Regional Planning Consultant, Fidelity Investments

Nearing the end of the first-quarter post-presidential election, and with a growing sentiment that the worst of the U.S. recession may be over, we’ll hear Fidelity’s update on the markets for the first quarter of the year and outlook for the economy and markets for 2013 and beyond. Will Gabri, a vice president with Fidelity Investments, will discuss a broad scope of topics, including a summary of the markets for the first quarter, and some themes that look promising in 2013 including the housing market recovery and what that may indicate for the recovery of the overall economy. U.S and international equity markets will be reviewed with a discussion of global assets. Fixed-income markets will also be covered with a view to where both opportunities and risks to investors may exist. Will’s presentation will conclude with Fidelity’s portfolio asset allocation themes for investors to consider.

He will go over what the basic estate planning documents are and discuss current federal estate laws. Christian’s presentation will cover the various trust structures used in estate planning, such as revocable trusts, and discuss some wealth transfer strategies to consider.
