Johnathan Rickman | Blue Vault<\/em><\/p>\n Blue Vault\u2019s mission is to help connect, empower, and educate wealth advisors about alternative investments, one of the fastest-growing segments of the investment industry. Alts offer exciting new opportunities, but many advisors still aren\u2019t sure how they work.<\/p>\n Gaining insight into the mechanics and potential benefits of alternatives isn\u2019t always easy, but it needn\u2019t be a hard slog. Sometimes all it takes is opening up and asking one of your peers for advice. That\u2019s why we created Blue Vault Community Groups<\/a> for wealth advisors! These groups are designed to bring advisors together regionally and virtually to foster a year-round environment of growth, support, and continuous learning around alternative investments.<\/p>\n Any wealth advisor serving clients may sign up to join a community group. You\u2019ll meet other advisors and learn which strategies and specific products work for them \u2014 or don\u2019t \u2014 and why. And that\u2019s just scratching the surface! Signing up provides many perks. The following are five reasons why joining a Blue Vault Community Group is a smart move for any advisor:<\/p>\n Community groups are a great opportunity to enhance your practice through knowledge sharing and collaboration<\/strong>. Blue Vault hosts and facilitates the start of each meeting, which includes a guest speaker who presents on a chosen topic for 5-10 minutes. (These speakers are there to inspire and educate you, not sell you products or services.) After that, you\u2019ll break off into a small group based on your time zone and group availability.<\/p>\n We currently have five community groups representing professionals from across the country<\/strong>, and we expect that number to grow steadily. As Fred Hubler points out in his April 2024 Forbes article<\/a>, networking is essential to learning more about alternative investments.<\/p>\n Blue Vault believes in the power of learning through discussion<\/strong>. That\u2019s why community groups are led by wealth advisors like you! Share alternative investment insights, challenges, and strategies in a collaborative environment liberated from passive learning.<\/p>\n Each group receives educational content to expand your alts knowledge and practice management expertise<\/strong>. Blue Vault is driven to help wealth advisors develop a deeper understanding of alts and stay informed about the latest trends, strategies, and structures.<\/p>\n There is no cost to join a community group, and the time commitment is just one hour a month<\/strong>: Each group meets from 4:00-5:00 p.m. EST every third Monday of the month. You are free to come and go as needed, and it\u2019s OK to miss one meeting and return for the next! There are no strings attached. You don\u2019t have to sign a contract or anything more formal than a simple registration<\/a> form.<\/p>\n Join us for the next community group meetup on Monday, October 21, 2024! Brian Evans of Madrona Financial is our guest speaker and will lead a discussion on how to successfully integrate alts into your practice.<\/p>\n Learn more about Blue Vault Community Groups<\/a> for wealth advisors, and for alts performance data, consider becoming a Blue Vault member<\/a> today!<\/p>\n Learn how Madrona Financial\u2019s Brian Evans has grown his advisory practice by integrating alternative investment strategies at our next meeting on Monday, October 21, 2024!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3870,"featured_media":384838,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3008,3911],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-384837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blue-vault-insights","category-community-groups"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nOne: Grow Your Career<\/h4>\n
