General Sessions - Speaker Presentations

Dennis Clark (CEO, Advisor Partners) introduces attendees to Chip Roame.

Chip focuses on facts to challenge conventional wisdom ...

... and enjoys an occasional lighthearted story to stir up an audience.

Joe Mansueto told his Morningstar story to a captive audience.

Bill Hambrecht & Andrew Rudd took the stage in succession.

Hambrecht's delivery was riveting, given the gravitas the man has and his subject, the credit crisis.

Rudd's interesting presentation was focused on alternative investments, namely, stamps & books.

ETF guru Tom Lydon took great joy in introducing Bruce Bond to fellow attendees.

And Bond impressed the audience with his smooth delivery of an amazing amount of information.

Norm Malo's presentation on Fidelity's Hybrid One product was incredibly candid...

... and his ability to integrate the audience into his presentation was to everyone's benefit.


General Sessions - Credit Crisis Panel, Tiburon Q&A, and Ask the Consumers, Ask the Advisers, & Ask the Gatekeepers Panels

Ron Cordes, John Cammack, Harold Evensky, Ken Fisher, Neil Hennessy, & Paul Schaeffer dared to share their views on the credit crisis of October 2008.

Initially the participants tried to ease into the difficult discussion.

John Cammack took a serious tone immediately...

...which was echoed by Ron Cordes as he detailed his views to Chip Roame, who listened attentively.

Then Ken Fisher took over, leaving no doubts at all as to his views on the culprits ...

... and the winners & losers of the credit crises.

When Ken Fisher speaks, you always get your money's worth.

Neil Hennessy, rivalling Mr. Fisher's humor, nevertheless took a more reserved strategy in his delivery...

...allowing Tony Batman and other attendees in the audience the opportunity to pose thoughts.

Chip Roame opened Day Two of Tiburon CEO Summit XV with the first ever Tiburon Q&A.

Many of the main participants were speakers or panelists
Neil Hennessy...

... Norm Malo ...

... Jerry Miller ...

... but many others also took the opportunity to share thoughts and pose questions.

Tiburon's Ask the Consumers Panel is always interesting. The constituents at CEO Summit XV were high-net-worth.

Much of the discussion focused on wealth management as opposed to portfolio growth, but many consumer concerns ...

... across age groups and asset-classes are similar, with customer service (and an advisor who listens) always as important as...

... or more important than investment performance.

Nobody seemed too overly concerned with market conditions ... at least they weren't showing it.

Tiburon's Ask the Advisors Panel is a natural progression from the consumers panel. At CEO Summit XV, the panelists ...

... manage portfolios from under $500,000 to over $10,000,000. In this group, there was variance in what a client required...

... from confidence, to honesty, to superior and customized client services.

Tiburon's Ask the Manufacturers Panel brought four very differently sized manufacturers on stage together

The one constant that everybody agreed upon ...

... was that in the new financial landscape, the rules are changing rapidly ...

... and adaptability with a keen eye on transparency and fiduciary responsibility will win out.
