Chapter Meeting Topics & Speakers

Part I - REITs: Property at a Discount

Karl Zeller, Senior Investment Specialist, SS&C ALPS Advisors

Fundamentals for the majority of real estate sectors remain stable, with high occupancy and solid demand driving strong operating income growth. Despite healthy fundamentals, REITs are now trading at a significant discount to the underlying value of their real estate portfolios. The gap between public and private market pricing of real estate assets will shrink over time, which could portend outsized returns for REITs, certainly relative to private market alternatives.

Karl Zeller is a Senior Investment Specialist covering Real Estate and joined SS&C ALPS Advisors in 2021 from Wilmington Trust, where he was a Senior Business Development Officer. Prior to Wilmington Trust, Karl was a Senior Product Specialist at CenterSquare Investment Management, where he was responsible for Private Real Estate, Listed Real Estate and Listed Infrastructure products. Karl's past experience of over 20 years in the investment management industry also includes Turner Investments, Rittenhouse Financial and Legg Mason. Throughout his career, Karl has been responsible for establishing, enhancing and supporting relationships with institutional investors and financial intermediaries across a variety of investment strategies, including alternative investments, real assets and long-only.

Part II - It's a (R)Evolution: The Modern Investor, Value, Growth

Jackie Wilke, VP, Advisor Consultant - First Trust

People pay price, buy value, and don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. As democratization and commoditization continue to disrupt the priorities/preferences/needs of investors, especially for women and next gens, future-focused professionals are leaning into the formula for modern value: “WHY” and “WHO” powered by “WHAT” and “HOW”. A clearly defined, relevant and personalized value proposition + an aligned, scalable business = trust, deeper engagement and demand-driven growth with the right clients because you are elevated as a solution. Through discovery, managing human behavior, education and experience, this framework will enable you to plan for and activate your own magnetic business development strategy based on your “why” and “who”.

With over 10 years of industry experience, Jackie is highly requested to work with future-focused, growth-minded financial professionals, RIAs, teams, and leadership. Her expertise in modern business development, practice management equips and empowers professionals to thrive in the new generation of value. She has a focus on women investors, next gen/families, content, marketing, digital and social media, growth, client engagement, communication and more. Jackie is the author of the Insights & Innovations best practices blog.
