Watch the Highlights from the 2023 Symposium
In the first session, Bill Noble, AIF, Director of Client Relations and Development at Trust Company of the South, kicks off the Symposium by providing an insight look at Trust Company’s investment process and how they strive to serve as expert stewards and fiduciaries for client families.
During the second session, a panel of experts engaged in conversation about how Trust Company implements investment strategies for client families to explain better what Trust Company does, how they do it and why.
To bring the Symposium to a close, Bill returns to the stage with Weston Wellington, vice president at Dimensional Fund Advisors, to take a deep dive into investor behavior and the role it can play in an investor’s success, or lack thereof, with their portfolios over time.
