Program Overview
As new legislation continues to reshape the financial planning landscape, advisors and tax professionals must stay informed about emerging savings strategies that could significantly impact their clients’ financial futures. One of the newest developments attracting attention is the introduction of Trump Accounts (§530A Accounts), a new tax-deferred savings vehicle designed to help children and families build long-term wealth.
Beginning July 4, 2026, parents, grandparents, and even employers will have new opportunities to contribute toward children’s financial futures through these accounts. But how do Trump Accounts compare to existing tools like 529 Plans, Roth IRAs, and UTMA Accounts? And what planning opportunities and tax implications should financial professionals understand before advising clients?
In this session, nationally recognized tax and financial planning expert Lawrence Pon will provide an in-depth educational overview of how Trump Accounts work, including their benefits, limitations, tax treatment, and long-term planning opportunities for families and advisors. Hosted at the elegant Orinda Country Club, this presentation is designed to help financial professionals evaluate how these new accounts may fit into broader wealth-building and tax planning strategies.
