Sponsored by Peter Stranges and Charles Zerafa The IQ Club had it's 1st Finance Symposium and had a great time doing so. The setting is mid 2025, where our co-sponsors (Charles and Peter) and IQ Club Advisor Academy graduates find placement on the board of a family run business by Advisor Academy facilitator Jon Kenfield. Bart (the client) owns and runs the family's food processing business and with both expansion into new markets and geopolitical caution in mind, he requires the specialty services of IQ Club consultants in wealth management, property, funding, cashflow management, and insurance. Each attendee contributed to the conversation, sharing their insights with the group.
