A practical masterclass for financial advisors who want a repeatable process for guiding client conversations around alternative investments, and the broader financial decisions clients are already considering outside the advisor relationship.
Each session is designed to help advisors turn client curiosity into a more structured, professional conversation around outside assets, money in motion, and non-traditional investment opportunities.
In this opening session, Duncan will help advisors frame the next 90 days with clarity and intention. Advisors will learn how to professionally introduce alternative investment conversations into their process without sounding product-driven. This session will also focus on outstanding branding, helping advisors position their approach in a way that feels structured, credible, and aligned with their overall value proposition.
This session focuses on using the 7 Pillars framework to connect alternative investment conversations to the broader client relationship. Advisors will also explore why the traditional review meeting is obsolete and how to elevate client meetings into more strategic, forward-looking conversations. The goal is to help advisors create a natural opening for alternatives through planning, risk management, diversification, and ongoing client engagement.
In this session, advisors will learn how to use the VAST approach to expand their role as a strategic sounding board for clients. Duncan will show how to position trusted external professionals, subject matter experts, and strategic partners as part of a more comprehensive client experience. This helps advisors create more value, uncover opportunities, and guide clients through complex financial decisions with greater confidence.
The final session explores the short history of financial euphoria and how hype, trends, and outside influence can shape client thinking. Advisors will learn how to reframe conversations with existing clients, separate signal from noise, and respond to questions about private credit, real estate, precious metals, digital assets, private equity, and other non-traditional opportunities. The session will help advisors bring these conversations back to fit, risk, liquidity, planning, and long-term relevance.

The question is whether you are part of the conversation.
Alternative investments are no longer sitting on the fringe of the wealth conversation. Clients are hearing about private credit, real estate, precious metals, digital assets, private equity, infrastructure, and other non-traditional opportunities through media, peer groups, podcasts, influencers, family members, business networks, and social circles.
This masterclass will help you become the trusted professional who helps clients interpret complexity, evaluate fit, understand risk, and place these conversations into the broader context of their financial life.
“These questions are not always requests to implement. Often, they are requests for perspective.”
That distinction matters.When you can respond with structure, context, and confidence, you become more than a portfolio manager. You become an indispensable sounding board for the client’s entire financial life.
This is not a masterclass about chasing the latest investment trend. It is about helping advisors respond to a changing landscape with professionalism, structure, and confidence.
Frame alternatives as part of a broader planning, risk management, and diversification conversation.
Use agenda items, review meetings, planning conversations, and simple prompts that open the door without pressure.
Position yourself as the person clients call before acting on outside opportunities, private deals, or emerging themes.
Help clients think critically about hype, FOMO, liquidity, risk, incentives, and overall fit.
Integrate the conversation into your planning process, service model, review meetings, and client education.
Uncover outside assets, identify money-in-motion opportunities, and reinforce your long-term value.
