Technological Advancements – Factor and Fee Based Investing – Re-balancing and Tax Effectiveness
When it comes to savings, I am a student of the Wealthy Barber, by David Chilton. Pay Yourself First! If the money is not available to you, then it cannot be spent on frivolous purchases. I, for one, am guilty of seeing something I like and then convincing myself that it is an absolute need vs. a want. I know that I am not the only one out there that does this. You know who you are!
I have read this really great book that you may have seen around the office: The Four Phases of Retirement: What to Expect When You’re Retiringby Riley E. Moynes. After reading this I tried to apply it to my personal situation and this is what I got!
We have realized that our role as a financial advisor is really to manage risk. The first thing we must establish with this responsibility is to define “risk”. Textbooks have told us over the years that you should measure risk in terms of volatility using standard deviations. As a mathematician, this should be easy. Next, we studied investment theory which introduced us into the world of Alpha and Beta. Sure, this makes great insomnia-curing reading but after doing this for many years we had to ask ourselves, “is this what is important to our clients”?
“In 2018, the re-emergence of volatility took many market participants by surprise. After all, aside from a few smaller, intermittent spikes over the course of the current bull market, volatility has largely been in a long-term downtrend since the aftermath of the 2008 Financial Crisis.”
