Course Description

Selected Topics in Estate Planning: Asset Management and Financial Planning. This course offers students a comprehensive introduction to the financial markets, investment products, and financial planning. Practical in nature, the course’s primary goal is to help students “speak finance” and become financially street-smart attorneys their first day on the job. Topics covered include asset classes, investment products (mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, etc.), investment portfolio design, retirement planning, insurance products, and the credentialing and compensation of financial advisors. Case studies combine multiple themes and illustrate financial planning in practice. Guest lecturers from the community will share war stories, best practices, and address their areas of professional expertise. Some tax issues will be covered, but no prior work in tax is assumed.
