THE PLAYING FIELD: Building a Niche
Here’s how a husband-and-wife team are finding success focusing on women clients
You hear it often: one of the best ways for independent advisors to maintain their competitive edge is to serve a niche clientele. William and Paula Harris can attest that this axiom is dead on. Here’s their story of how serving a niche of affluent women is really paying off.

Charitable Giving
There is still time for 2005
If you are charitably inclined then the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 has created some great opportunities. The new law suspends adjusted gross income (AGI) limitations. 100% of any cash gifts made this year between August 28th through December 31 will be allowed to be deducted (it was previously only 50%). Individuals may fully deduct cash donations made for any purpose, not just Katrina relief. In addition, such charitable contributions will not be subject to the phase-out of itemized deductions over 3% of AGI, which affects higher–income tax payers. Bottom line—if you were planning on donating that new wing to your Alma Mata, this is the year to do it!
