They explore the firm's investment philosophy, focusing on quality companies with a track record of consistent growth and profitability. Kevin explains their emphasis on businesses that are well-capitalized, with low debt and attractive valuations, ensuring a focus on durability and predictability. The discussion also touches on the strengths and limitations of this investment approach, including when it performs well and potential times of underperformance. Kevin shares the metrics used to select these companies and provides insights into current economic events, such as the market's narrow leadership by the "magnificent seven" stocks and record U.S. equity valuations. Learn how a focus on quality can lead to a strong and resilient investment strategy. Episode Highlights: Kevin reflects on the past 20 years in the financial markets, highlighting the impact of 0% interest rates and stock market growth.

The first question is whether or not the bond is going to pay me back, and the second question is whether or not I'm being paid to take on the risk.” - Kevin Caron, CFA “We know what we do. We know what we don’t do, and our style, because it’s so carefully prescribed, it’s very hard for us to deviate from something once you very clearly define what it is you’re looking for.” - Kevin Caron, CFA Resources Mentioned: Kevin Caron, CFA Washington Crossing Advisors Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors

    In this episode of the "Stuff About Money" podcast, hosts Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA™, ChFC®, and Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC, share their top takeaways from the IndieTech Conference. While they usually dive into saving and investing, this time they focus on boosting your income by investing in yourself. Discover how developing relationships, establishing processes, and leveraging technology can drive revenue for entrepreneurs and professionals.

If you kept good books over a period of years, you can see what are the trends in your business.“ - Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA “We don't rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems and you can substitute processes in there for systems. Right? We all have good intentions in business, but if we haven't built out a systematic way to actually accomplish that, most humans do not have the willpower just to accomplish a goal.” - Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Resources Mentioned: Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors
