TD Ameritrade Institutional Hosts Virtual Event Series and Opens Access to Free Education Resources to Help Any and All Advisors Navigate Coronavirus Crisis

As the coronavirus epidemic roils markets, disrupts businesses and halts face-to-face meetings, TD Ameritrade Institutional1 invites any and all financial advisors to attend new series of virtual events, offering timely information designed to help them manage through this challenging period, and take advantage of a robust suite of on-demand educational resources accessible from home or the office.

TD Ameritrade Institutional, starting this week, will host an all-new Coronavirus Continuity Webcast Series, virtual learning events focused on what advisors need to know, now, from business continuity planning and managing stress to understanding the virus and its impact. In addition, an impressive array of selected e-learning resources relevant to the current crisis will be available to any and all financial advisors through the TD Ameritrade Institutional Education Center for the duration of the health crisis.2

“In challenging times, we need to step up and help one another. We want to do all we can to minimize the impact of the coronavirus epidemic for advisors and their clients,” said Tom Nally, President of TD Ameritrade Institutional. “We’re all faced with disruption to our business and personal lives, and so we want to make it easier for advisors to stay informed while staying close to home.”

Advisors are adjusting to an environment that’s anything but business as usual. Conferences, meetings and public gatherings have been cancelled for the foreseeable future. The economic outlook is uncertain. This “new abnormal” has catapulted business continuity planning and risk mitigation to top of mind for advisors, who need access to training and education that can help them navigate the current crisis.

To help advisors better manage their business and work with clients during this period, TD Ameritrade Institutional is stepping in and offering access to a robust suite of on-demand learning opportunities. Just visit www.tdainstitutional.com/coronaviruscontinuity.2

Virtual Events Offer Timely Insight

TD Ameritrade Institutional will present a series of virtual educational events that can help all advisors better understand the scope of the outbreak and explore technologies that can help them stay engaged with clients amid social distancing, as well as review investment strategies and best business practices that can turn crisis into opportunity.

The first webcast, “Making Sense of COVID-19: Current Evidence and Best Practices,” takes place Wednesday, March 18, at 4:00pm ET. In this session, Dr. Bill Lloyd, Health Director at Transamerica, will help advisors gain a better understanding of the COVID-19 outbreak, how they can protect themselves, manage anxiety and fear at their firms, and how to have productive conversations with clients.

Following that, TD Ameritrade Institutional will host a weekly series of virtual learning events focused on a range of timely topics:

  • March 25 – Stress Management in an Upside-Down World – Learn strategies to help associates and clients better manage the anxiety caused by the crisis.
  • April 1 – Protecting and Repairing a Portfolio in a High Volatility Environment – As a global health scare roils markets, trading professionals offer investment management strategies.
