We were thrilled to attend the Investments & Wealth Institute's collaboration with the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Executive Education for the Wealth Advisor Forum 2021 on the themes of Concentrated Wealth Strategies and Executive Compensation.   We enhanced our knowledge on tax strategies for business owners selling their companies, estate planning techniques, and executive compensation.

Both our equity and fixed income selections performed well over the quarter and year-to-date.
