'So many jobs' for young advisors: Lightning Round with XY Planning’s Alan Moore

If you ask Alan Moore about the job market for young financial advisors, he’ll paint you one of the brightest pictures in the industry.

Lately, young planners have more offers than they “know what to do with,” Moore says, noting that new recruits are coming from some unlikely training grounds like degree programs in theater or communications.

He should know. The XY Planning Network, which he co-founded with Michael Kitces, counts many millennial planners among its membership of fee-only advisors who work with Gen X and Gen Y clients.

For Financial Planning’s Lightning Round, filmed on the sidelines of TD Ameritrade's 2018 National LINC conference, Moore also fielded rapid-fire questions about advisors' most useless routines and how augmented reality will have a "massive" impact on wealth management.
