The second day of the 2018 NAPA 401(k) SUMMIT is just as good as the first. We’ve got workshops on social media, profitably working with small plans, keeping your pipeline full, the evolution of TDFs, and ethics – and that’s just the beginning. Check it out.

‘Evolving’ Doers – The Evolution of Target-Date Funds (WS12)
What are the trends that are shaping the next generation of target date funds? It's been nearly a quarter century since the first target date funds were introduced – since then, much has changed, not the least of which is the ubiquitous positioning of TDFs on retirement plan menus, and their near monopoly as an investment default in those plans. Despite that growth, change has been slow to come to the category – but change is afoot and a new "next" generation of target-date funds – and target date alternatives – has finally started to emerge.

Ethics ‘Cull’ – Ethics Best Practices for Your Best Practice (WS13)
NAPA members, like many other professionals, are subject to ethical standards, and this session will not only provide an overview of the NAPA Code of Ethics, it will include a review of case studies involving real-life scenarios to demonstrate how ethical standards are met. In sum, you’ll gain insights on best practices that can build up your practice while building a better practice. NOTE: Eligible for CPFA Ethics CE.
