Introduction

Tiburon Managing Principal Chip Roame delivers a shortened version of Tiburon's signature Future of Advice seminar to attendees at Tiburon's CEO Summit VII

Tiburon Strategic Advisors is a market research & strategy consulting firm serving the brokerage and investment management industry. Due to the depth of its existing written industry knowledge (150,000+ PowerPoint charts and graphs organized in to 70 leading industry topics), Tiburon is able to deliver detailed presentations on a wide range of products and markets within the brokerage and investment management marketplace without significant preparation. As a result, Tiburon Market Seminars have become ideal for clients who need quick and yet thorough understandings of industry dynamics and leading players in growing markets. This is also an ideal low-cost method for new Tiburon clients to tap into the firm's years of industry experience and prior research efforts.

Specifically, Tiburon executives have been engaged by many firms to deliver presentations and lead brainstorming sessions with boards of directors, senior management teams, venture capital teams, sales teams, and other groups. Similarly, post-mergers or promotions, Tiburon Market Seminars can be used to kick-start new efforts. Some Tiburon clients then develop their own strategies; others engage Tiburon for further research and strategy work. In any case, this is a great place to start; there is no reason to engage a consulting firm and wait months for them to catch up to one's existing knowledge!

Recent Tiburon Market Seminars

Tiburon has recently been engaged for market seminars on a variety of hot topics, including the future of advice, separately managed accounts & other fee-account programs, exchange traded funds, hedge funds, and the wealth management businesses.
