Knox Financial Service LEARN Education Series

We believe presenting information on various topics might spark your interest, answer a question you may have, or start a conversation.

Every topic may not be of interest to you, but may be useful for a family member or friend. We welcome your attendance at sessions that are of interest to you. If you have family or friends you believe may benefit from attending, we encourage inviting guests.

How LEARN Works:

Bimonthly, on the third Wednesday of odd months, at 5:15pm CST, we present information on various financial topics, including financial planning, estate planning, saving for various goals, gifting, investment strategies, goal planning, and retirement strategies. In addition, we may present topics that are not financially related.

LEARN sessions are planned to be 20-25 minutes. Questions may be asked at the session, or to maintain confidentiality on specific questions, please direct follow-up questions to your Advisor.

If the topic is outside our of expertise, we invite experts in the topic to present information we believe to be useful.
