Uncertainty has been the theme of the stock markets in 2025. Tariffs and trade wars are dominating the news cycle, but they’ve also led to virtually every economic forecaster raising the likelihood of a recession significantly.
BackNine is thrilled to present this special event in partnership with Guaranty Income Life and JP Soltesz to help you better understand and prepare for economic challenges!
JP Soltesz is the head of Kuvare’s corporate strategy for the annuity markets and competitive landscape, and will be sharing his unique perspective based on decades of experience in corporate strategy and economics. He also has advised leadership on adopting product innovation and Insurtech into the organizations he has been a part of. JP has authored thought leadership work on disruptive forces in the insurance industry, how insurers can better serve the needs of retirees, and the impact Advanced Manufacturing techniques will have on the Future of Work.
JP spent 6 years working for the Chief Global Economist of General Electric (GE) with a focus on the U.S. housing and labor markets, and on demographic trends in places like Asia and Mexico and their impact on shifting global trade dynamics.
JP will walk us through key themes and takeaways to inform your conversations with clients on the following topics:
-
Is the likelihood of a recession increasing, or are we already in one?
-
The Great Wealth Transfer – how we can work with clients and their beneficiaries to maintain relationships across generations
-
Fixed Indexed Annuities – Downside Protection for volatile markets
We’ll also be joined by Nate Self, Director of Sales Development with Guaranty Income Life, to quickly understand how GILICO’s unique suite of WealthChoice FIAs stand out from the pack when it comes to protection, growth, and lifetime income.
