  • What Makes the U.S. Bond Market Appealing Now?
    2024/10/31
    Fixed income investors are likely focused on two big early November events: the presidential election and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision. On this episode, host Mike Townsend is joined by Collin Martin, a fixed income strategist at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, for a timely conversation on how bond markets typically react to elections, how investors who are anxious about the election can use bond strategies to lock in good rates and help limit volatility in their portfolios, the outlook for another rate cut by the Fed, and why there may be opportunities now for investors interested in longer-duration bonds. Collin offers his perspective on corporate bonds, high-yield bonds, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS. Mike shares what he will be watching for on election night, as well as an update on the IRS inflation adjustments to key provisions of the tax code, including individual income tax brackets and the estate tax. Mike also references this recent IRS publication on inflation adjustments to key tax provisions.WashingtonWise is an original podcast for investors from Charles Schwab.

  • Social Security: A Smart Part of Financial Planning
    2024/10/17

    For more than 89 years, almost every person who has taken home a paycheck has paid into the Social Security program. Many people rely on this benefit to help support their life in retirement. However, mistakes and misconceptions abound. On this episode, host Mike Townsend welcomes Susan Hirshman, a director of wealth management for Schwab Wealth Advisory and the Schwab Center for Financial Research, for an important discussion about the need for people of all ages to be more focused on the facts versus emotions about the Social Security system, especially when it comes to the health of the program and when and how Congress may move to shore it up for decades to come. Susan discusses how to get the most out of Social Security and how the strategies can be very different depending on your circumstances. Mike and Susan also look at some of the most common Social Security­–related scams and how to avoid them.

    And Mike provides his latest thoughts on the state of the election with less than three weeks to go before Election Day.
