http://dynamicwealthmanagementtips.com/?p=10Over the past few columns, I have discussed issues related to selling the family business.
I’ve covered the importance of evaluating your life goals along with the dollars involved in a sale, the value of shaping up the management and financial statements, and the need to leverage expert advice. This final installment will convey a few techniques to optimizing the deal with the buyer.
It is key to understand that the buyer and the seller have divergent interests in the structure of the transaction, most of which revolve around stock and assets. The seller wants to sell stock, and the buyer wants to buy assets. There are a few reasons for this.
Imagine the business in question is a construction or drug company, and is sold. If years after the sale a bridge the company engineered and built collapsed, or a severe side effect was discovered with a drug or medical device the business provided, who is held liable? The answer is the owner of the stock. One of the main negotiation points in selling a business is will it be a sale of stock or assets.

Dynamic Wealth Management Headlines:Facing the future: Digital imaging could be next big thing in advice business
http://dynamicwealthmanagementtips.com/?p=1
A unique combination of psychology and technology might be just the ticket for getting investors to start taking their retirement savings more seriously.
Speaking last Monday at the InvestmentNews’ annual Retirement Income Summit in Chicago, Hal Ersner-Hershfield, a postdoctoral fellow and visiting assistant professor at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, illustrated how individuals generally take their future more seriously when they can imagine themselves as an older person.
Mr. Ersner-Hershfield used the example of a teenage boy smoking cigarettes because he is unable to imagine realistically the effects of long-term smoking on his body.
This is the same mindset, he explained, that helps justify why half the people in the country have just $25,000 saved for retirement and why a third of them have less than $1,000 saved.
To help remedy that gross shortfall in retirement savings, Mr. Ersner-Hershfield has developed a program that creates images of what people will look like in 30 or 40 years.

Dynamic Wealth Management Headlines:Crisis Report on RBS Collapse to Undergo Scrutiny
http://dynamicwealthmanagementreports.com/?p=7May 06, 2011 /The Treasury Select Committee (TSC) has called in two independent reviewers to look into the crisis report to be issued by the Financial Services Authority regarding the failure of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).
The report was prepared by accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. In mid-December 2010, FSA chairperson Adair Turner conceded to different calls asking the financial regulator to reveal the full report on the collapse of Royal Bank of Scotland, with business secretary Vince Cable having met with Turner to urge him to disclose full details of it as much as possible. Turner gave in to the pressure and said the FSA would publicly disclose the crisis report by the end of May. Turner earlier refused to make the report public despite the approval of former RBS CEO Fred Goodwin to open the report. Last year, the FSA closed its investigation into the RBS collapse without taking to task the individuals liable for the incident, causing a public uproar. Now, with the independent review being slated to kick off soon, further delay on the disclosure of the report is expected as TSC chairperson Andrew Tyrie confirmed that the committee has appointed David Walker and Bill Knight to conduct an independent review on the report. Walker is currently the senior adviser to US bank Morgan Stanley while Knight is the solicitor and Chairman of the Financial Reporting Review Panel and director of the Financial Reporting Council. Their appointment came after the FSA and TSC discussed on how to ensure that the report “will be seen as a rigorous and transparent account of the different factors” that helped to bring RBS down.
Similarly, a non-executive sub-group of the FSA Board chaired by Brian Pomeroy will conduct a separate review on the process and findings of the FSA’s report. The separate review is expected to “interface as appropriate with the independent reviewers.”

Dynamic Wealth Management - Retirement Planning
http://www.dynamicwmanagement.com/retirement.phpNudged by the government and buffeted by the demographic reality of retirees often living into their 90's, corporations have been rapidly offloading the responsibility for retirement income to their employees. Fortunately, many different financial vehicles now exist to help investors meet their own retirement needs. New products seem to emerge each month; some are marketing gimmicks while others may be valuable financial tools.
At DWM, we have adopted a process that relies heavily on client input and participation in all phases of the retirement planning process. Although it is a systematic approach, it is also tailored to each client's requirements. Through a series of planned steps, we work with each client to define major life goals, prioritize them and test them under various market scenarios. We then build to a recommendation based upon ideal vs. acceptable goals and risk tolerance. Many retirement programs stop here. Ours continues to full implementation of the plan and periodic monitoring of its progress. Finally, we stay mindful of new goals or priorities that may cause alterations of the original program.
We believe that retirement planning must be an ongoing process, not a glossy report that sits on a bookshelf. Only in this way can we provide the best likelihood of providing a retirement that is as free as possible from needless financial concerns.
