If you missed the live sessions, you can still catch the full Alternative Investments Masterclass on demand.

Across this four-part series, I walk through how financial advisors can position alternative investments as an extension of their process, not simply as another product, idea, or trade.

The goal is to strengthen your positioning, deepen client relationships, and become more relevant as clients are increasingly exposed to private markets, alternative income, tax-efficient strategies, and other opportunities beyond the traditional portfolio.

The full series is now available inside Turnkey Advisor.

Why the Little Things Matter Most

08/20/2026

Alternative investments are no longer a side conversation. They are becoming part of how financial advisors navigate liquidity events, tax planning, wealth transfer, and increasingly complex client needs.

In this episode of Always On, I sit down with Matt Doran of First Trust to discuss why companies are staying private longer, how the advisor’s role is evolving, and why alternatives should be positioned within a broader planning process, not pitched as another product.

We also explore what it means to become the client’s first call, coordinate the professionals surrounding them, and build a process that strengthens trust, fee-worthiness, and long-term advocacy.

The Next Big Shift for Financial Advisors

08/18/2026

Could alternative investments become the wedge a competitor uses to disrupt one of your longest-standing client relationships?

Clients are hearing more about private markets, alternative income, tax-efficient strategies, and new approaches to portfolio construction. If those conversations are not happening with their current advisor, they may begin to wonder whether their needs have outgrown the relationship.

In this clip from *Always On*, Matt Doran and I discuss how alternatives can create competitive disruption—and why thoughtfully positioning these conversations within your process can help protect relationships, reinforce your relevance, and keep you part of the conversation.

The conversation around alternative investments is already happening. The question is whether your clients see you as part of it.

Today, I’m kicking off Session 1 of our Alternative Investments Masterclass, where I’ll share how financial advisors can position alternatives as an extension of their process, not as another product, idea, or trade.

The goal is to help you strengthen your positioning, deepen client relationships, and become the first call before significant investment decisions are made.

Session 1 starts today. Join me here: paretosys.co/aimc
