  • The Importance of Remaining Disciplined with Asset Allocation, Ep #254

    The Importance of Remaining Disciplined with Asset Allocation, Ep #254
    2024/11/15
    We invest in large companies, small companies, value companies, international companies, emerging markets, etc. We practice discipline when investing in all of these asset classes. If we want 20% of a portfolio allocated to large value, we maintain that percentage. We also practice strategic rebalancing. If something has an upward momentum, we set tolerance zones. If we go above or below those tolerances, we buy or sell. We practice discipline. Why? I share more in this episode of Best in Wealth. [bctt tweet="Discipline in asset allocation means sticking to your plan—no matter the headlines.

    Why we practice discipline in asset classes By the end of the third quarter of 2024, the S&P 500 was up almost 20%. It’s up another 6% since then. The S&P 500 is one of our best-performing asset classes. If we’re just reading the headline, “The S&P 500 is doing the best,” we might think we should put more money in. But hindsight is 2020. And if we’d listened to the experts, many of them said that small-caps were going to perform the best in 2024. But small-caps are only up a little over 10% after the third quarter. It’s also gone up 6–8% since then but is still underperforming the S&P 500. If we’d listened to the experts, we’d be tempted to put more money into small-caps. But that’s not the right decision either. We need to remain disciplined to our plan for each asset class. [bctt tweet="The S&P 500 is up, but that doesn't mean we chase momentum. Strategic rebalancing is key! Learn how to stay disciplined in your investment choices. #InvestingStrategy #AssetClasses #WealthManagement" username=""] Taking a look at the big picture Looking back 95 years, the small-cap index has done better than the large-cap index. We call this the small-cap premium. However, it comes with more risk. Because of the risk, investors demand a higher average return for owning smaller companies. Our portfolios skew more large than small because of the risk. However, we do want to capitalize on some of those returns—but not because of headlines. If you choose something riskier, it won’t always do better. On average, stocks do better than bonds because they’re riskier—but it doesn’t mean stocks always beat bonds. Developed market small-caps on average bean developed markets large-caps by about a percent and a half per year. Small-caps over the last 20 years perform better than large-caps in emerging markets. Remember, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Have small-caps have underperformed large-caps in the recent past? Yes. Does that mean we abandon small-caps? No? Does that mean the premium is gone? We don’t think so. A disciplined approach to investing matters We need to investigate every headline that we read because they don’t tell the full story. If we’re just reading the headlines, we might make an emotional decision about asset allocation. We can’t try to guess which asset class will do the best. When we do that, we’re putting our family and our future in jeopardy. A disciplined approach to investing matters. Learn more in this episode of Best in Wealth.

  • Are You in the Top 5% of Income-Earners or Net Worth? Ep #253

    Are You in the Top 5% of Income-Earners or Net Worth? Ep #253
    2024/10/18
    Ever wondered where you rank financially among Americans? Curious about what it takes to join the top 5% in income or net worth? Every three years, the Fed surveys the finances of American households, tracking assets, debt, and more. One of the things they cover is who landed in the top 5% of both income earned and net worth. In this episode of Best in Wealth, I will share the income that puts you in the top 5% of income earners by age, what lands you in the top 5% of net worth by age, and why none of it matters. Don’t miss it! [bctt tweet="Are you in the top 5% of income-earners or net worth?

    • [1:15] Getting into the University of Wisconsin Madison
    • [3:21] The income that puts you in the top 5% of income
    • [11:12] Individual versus household income
    • [12:00] The income that puts you in the top 5% of net worth
    • [17:21] Are you in the top 5% of income or net worth?

    The income that puts you in the top 5% of earned income by age Do you land anywhere in these brackets?
    • 18-29: If you earn $156,732 or more, you are in the top 5%. You are just launching your career and starting to earn an income.
    • 30-39: If you earn $292,927 or more, you are in the top 5%. You are getting more established in your career and perhaps started a business or received a promotion.
    • 40-49: If you earn $404,261 or more, you are in the top 5%. Maybe you continued to receive promotions or your business grew.
    • 50-59: If you earn $598,825 or more, you are in the top 5%. The 50s are your highest potential for earnings years. Maybe you sold your business or became the CEO of a company.
    • 60-69: If you earn $496,139 or more, you are in the top 5%. You may be retired and living on social security and your investments during these years.
    • 70 or older: If you earn $350,215 or more, you are in the top 5%. Most people in their 70s probably are not working any longer and that income is being derived from Social Security, pensions, and investments.

    What does it take to be in the top 5% of households? If you earn $499,000 or more, at any age, you are in the top 5% of all income earners. [bctt tweet="What income puts you in the top 5% of earned income by age? I hash out the numbers in episode 253 of Best in Wealth! #wealth #retirement #investing" username=""] The income that puts you in the top 5% of net worth What does the top 5% of net worth look like in each age group?
    • 18-29: $415,700 or higher
    • 30-39: $1,104,100 or higher
    • 40-49: $2,500,000 or higher
    • 50-59: $5,001,600 or higher
    • 60-69: $6,684,220 or higher
    • 70 or older: $5,860,400 or higher

    Your net worth is far more important than your income. You can make all of the money in the world but if you do not save anything, your net worth will never increase. It will stay zero. Secondly, you can earn a lot less than the top 5% of income earners and still save enough to be in the top 5% of net worth. Are you in the top 5% of income or net worth? It is okay if you do not fall into any of these categories—they can be very skewed. Numerous factors impact these numbers. Secondly, these numbers don’t matter. If you have the right retirement plan for you, you will have the retirement of your dreams regardless of whether or not you land in the top 5%.

    Demystifying Financial Advisors, Ep #252
    2024/10/04
    Did you know that anyone can say they are a financial advisor? They may not be licensed or experienced. So how do you know who to trust? In this episode of Best in Wealth, I will break down the three types of people who put “financial advisor” on their business cards, what the letters after a financial advisor's name mean, and how a fee-only financial advisor is compensated for their services. Knowing all of these things will help you determine what type of advisor is right for you to help you achieve a successful retirement.

    • [22:34] What do the letters after a financial advisor's name mean?
    • [24:17] Work with someone you can build a connection with

    The 3 types of financial advisors Three different types of people typically put “financial advisor” on their business cards:
    1. Insurance Sales Representative: They are required to be licensed to discuss or sell insurance. Their main goal is to sell you life insurance (typically whole life insurance that can be invested and earn dividends and be used for retirement). Is someone who can only sell life insurance acting in your best interest all of the time? How could they be? They make a commission on the insurance product that they sell you.
    2. Registered Representative/Broker-Dealer: They take an exam to be “registered” to sell securities, mutual funds, life insurance policies, etc. They are paid by commission, much like insurance representatives. Or they will recommend a mutual fund where they get a percentage (annual 12B1 fees and more). They are also not fiduciaries.
    3. Investment Advisor Representative: They must take a securities exam that also covers laws required to act as a fiduciary. An investment advisor is prohibited from collecting commissions. The fees they collect come directly from the client. They can call themselves fee-only representatives.

    I am a fee-only Investment Advisor Representative. I do not co-mingle with insurance sales representatives or registered representatives. It removes any conflict of interest. I am not beholden to any company. I must act in the best interest of my clients. Most financial advisors are dually registered. They may have an insurance or broker license. Listen to find out what questions you have to ask an advisor to find out if they are strictly an Investment Advisor Representative.

    • Hourly: You hire a financial advisor to create a financial or retirement plan and you pay them for the hours it takes to do the job. It is a short-term relationship.
    • One-time planning: A one-time plan may cost you $5,000–$7,000, which you pay once. They deliver the plan and you write them a check. It is a short-term relationship.
    • Monthly retainers: The advisor might charge a couple hundred dollars a month, depending on the complexity of your plan. This may be great for someone who needs...
