Pontera

At the most recent installment of Pontera’s Diversity in Leadership speaker series, we had the pleasure of hosting Kimberly Perry, Director of Retirement Services at Stifel Financial Corp. Kim spoke about finding your purpose, overcoming challenges, building relationships, and what it means to be a leader. Our own Kristen Gallagher moderated this interactive discussion! Our team values the chance to ask questions and learn from our partners and peers like Kim. Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom! #LifeAtPontera #WomeninFinance #DiversityandInclusion

Today, June 19, is Juneteenth—a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. In observance of this historic day and in celebration of freedom, Pontera's U.S. office will be closed. We also salute Al Edwards, who as a state representative in 1979 authored and sponsored the first state house bill that made Juneteenth a state holiday in Texas.

Partnering with strategic firms "empowers GeoWealth users with even more investment management flexibility." We're grateful for the mention from Brendan Falls in The Wealth Advisor. Pontera is proud to help GeoWealth advisors better serve retirement savers with our platform for outside asset management. https://lnkd.in/eeKNEDAu

So glad you're loving the swag, Carina! Thanks so much for the kind words, we value your partnership!

F2 Strategy co-founder and CEO Doug Fritz has nice things to say about Pontera and its recent partnership with Stifel Financial Corp. in WealthManagement.com's "Word on WealthTech" column for June 2024: "Honestly, we’re surprised more advisors don’t include 401(k) oversight management in their advisory offering. Clients expect them to help them make good decisions about taxability, and it pays for itself, so why not?" We couldn't agree more. Discover how more Americans can get the secure, professional 401(k) advice they need by visiting Pontera.com #wealthtech #401k #financialadvisors https://lnkd.in/e7h4kMk8

Why is the need for financial advisors to manage American workers' 401(k) accounts greater than ever? David Goldman explains in this comprehensive look at outside asset management from Alex Ortolani in PLANADVISER: "It’s clear to our partners and to a lot of participants that these [retirement] assets, although they are a significant portion of retirement savers’ nest eggs, are not getting enough attention—and the advisory firms and the participants are both seeing the same thing.” The ability to advise on these accounts is proving valuable for both new and existing clients. We're thankful for our partners Nick Lamb, CFA of SageView Advisory Group and Karen R. McColl, CFA of Commonwealth Financial Network for sharing their positive experience with Pontera. As Nick describes: “Now, we can view and manage our clients’ held away accounts in real time. In addition, the client gets the benefit of having investible assets professionally managed.” Discover how advisors are taking an even more strategic approach to the totality of clients' wealth: https://lnkd.in/eEkdQXZj 

For #PrideMonth, we celebrate Walter B. Schubert, Jr., who in 1994 became the first openly gay member of the New York Stock Exchange. His experiences prompted him to champion the development of a more inclusive environment at the exchange. In 1998, he founded ‘Gay Financial Network’, a website dedicated to financial interests and personal challenges of the LGBTQ+ community. In 2009, he was selected as the lead architect of the NYSE's Financial Literacy Council. He is currently a life coach, mentor, and public speaker who helps others in the community understand how to face adversity and thrive. #Pride2024 #Pride #LGBTQIA
