Waddell & Reed financial advisors believe in consistently staying in touch with clients, whether to discuss individual financial plans, future goals, or to share perspective on the ever-changing market environment.

In addition to personal meetings, key ways advisors make themselves available are through events and seminars. Waddell & Reed offers a wide range of seminars, on everything from understanding market volatility, to the basics of financial planning, education funding, international investing, retirement planning and many more subjects. These seminars provide an educational opportunity for clients, family members and friends, as well as allow time for direct questions and open discussion.

Recent years have brought many market challenges, and in fact have introduced a new frame of reference for investors. Gone are the days of risky investing and free spending. Focus now is on responsible spending, saving and building for the future, while helping those who may be less fortunate. This year, Waddell & Reed has introduced a new kind of seminar and event series. We think you'll find it appealing.

The Waddell & Reed Good Fortune Event Series is a concept born from an understanding of this new perspective. An understanding that we live in a world attuned to financial responsibility and the fact that the important things in life - happiness, freedom, and peace of mind - are best attained when we first share them with others. This is Good Fortune, and through this program you have an opportunity to win prizes valued at $5000, benefitting you as well as a charitable organization.

You'll want to take advantage of this unique opportunity soon, because the program ends on January 31, 2010. Contact a Waddell & Reed financial advisor to learn more about the Good Fortune Event Series in your area.
