If you’re still handing Medicare off to someone else… you’re giving away one of the most important moments in your client relationship.

And once that door opens, it’s hard to close.

In this episode of Vaulted Views, we break down how financial advisors can turn Medicare planning into a competitive advantage by owning the process instead of outsourcing it.

Because Medicare planning isn’t just an insurance decision.

It’s a trust decision.

And the advisors who build a system around it are the ones who keep their clients fully aligned.

Financial advisors say they have a unique view of the market.

But when you look at their portfolios…

they all look the same.

In this episode of Vaulted Views, I sit down with Chris Mee, Managing Director at Insperex, to break down one of the biggest missed opportunities in our industry: using structured products to create defined, differentiated outcomes for clients.

This isn’t just a conversation about investments.

It’s a conversation about how advisors evolve from managing portfolios… to designing strategies that actually reflect their thinking.

Because here’s the reality:

If your strategy doesn’t clearly express your view… your client won’t feel it.

And if your client can’t feel it, they won’t value it.

What You’ll Learn:

- Why most advisor portfolios look identical (even with different market views)

- How structured products combine growth + protection in one strategy

- The flaw in traditional 60/40 portfolios

- How to differentiate your practice in a commoditized world

- Real ways advisors are using structured products to grow AUM

- How to introduce this to clients without overcomplicating your process

- A simple way to start using structured products this quarter

Key Insight:

Structured products aren't just about returns. They're about clarity, control, and communicating a strategy your client can actually understand.

Who This is For:

- wirehouse or bank advisors thinking about independence

- growth-focused advisors looking to scale

- advisors tired of competing on performance alone

- anyone who wants to build a more intentional, differentiated practice

Here’s the truth most advisors don’t want to admit:

The traditional 60/40 portfolio isn’t a retirement plan.

It’s a default setting.

And in today’s environment, it’s not enough.

In this episode of Vaulted Views, I break down the difference between what I call the low view, reactive, trend-following advice, and the vaulted view, where advisors build systems that actually guide client behavior and scale their business.

We're going deep into:

• Why static asset allocation models fall short in retirement
• The real risk advisors overlook (sequence of returns)
• How a rising equity glide path can improve long-term outcomes
• And how The Bucket Strategy® turns complex planning into something clients actually understand…and stick with

Because here’s the reality:

Clients don’t fail in retirement because of bad returns.

They fail because of bad decisions at the wrong time.

And your job isn’t just to manage portfolios.

It’s to design systems that prevent those mistakes.

If you want to differentiate, scale, and deliver more consistent outcomes for your clients…

This is the work.

If you’re serious about building a practice that scales with intention and delivers real clarity to clients…
