JD Carlson is the owner of Plan Design Consultants, a TPA firm in California. TPAs provide us an interesting perspective on the industry and our clients. How does JD view the “ownership” of a 401(k) plan participant relationship? What does he see happening right now in the industry that he thinks advisors should be watching closely? Who “owns” the participant and the control of the plan sponsor relationship? How is data going to change the way our industry looks in the next 3-5 years? What should advisors be doing right now to prepare? Can specialist 401(k) plan advisors continue to survive? What opportunities does JD see for advisors to battle against fee compression and expand services and revenue? Join Ross for a deep conversation into where our industry is headed from an industry veteran who has seen it all!
