Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) September 16, 2014 -- Xponential Growth Solutions is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the 2014 Philadelphia Fiduciary Summit.

In addition to hearing directly from portfolio managers of three Target Date Fund series, Emerald's Joe Besecker will share his view of the market and David Donaldson, a former DOL Investigator, will identify strategies that will help make your plans bullet-proof not if, but when the DOL comes calling."
