Brian Skrobonja sits down with Phon Vilayoune to unpack buffered ETFs and income notes. Phon is the Founder and CEO of VETA Investment Partners, where they currently oversee over $5.5 billion in assets. They discuss the benefits of positioning your portfolio for growth and safety, how to protect your nest egg in volatile markets, and practical strategies for optimizing gains while limiting downside risk. Tune in to hear professional insights on ETFs, income notes, and actionable frameworks for navigating today's complex market cycles. Phon explains how he entered the investing world and now helps oversee roughly $5.5B in assets. Phon highlights what trading during the 2008–09 crisis taught him about being positioned like Warren Buffett or Middle Eastern banks. In deep volatility, cash plus cash flow gives you the power to buy when everything is on sale.  Why you want a Buffett-style portfolio in a downturn: Buffett held strong during bear markets and bought when others panicked.  How to win more by losing less. Phon says risk management is the key. You never want to be a forced seller during a correction because you take a double hit: loss plus selling at the bottom. Phon and Brian break down buffered ETFs and how they're tied to S&P 500 options designed to provide a more predictable range of outcomes over 12 months. Think of it like investing with guardrails — you're participating but with intentional limits on downside. Learn what income notes are: Phon says it's basically converting equity exposure into monthly income. For example, instead of holding stocks outright, you buy a structured note designed to pay you steady monthly income while still giving some market participation. It's like blending investing and cash flow without fully being in the stock market. Phon on the future earnings potential of ETFs. He believes growth will continue, especially as aging demographics seek income and protection. BlackRock projects more than $600B in defined-outcome/Buffered ETFs in the coming years. Brian highlights that markets don't move straight up forever. We all intellectually understand cycles, but emotionally, we forget. That's why having a plan for downturns is essential. Phon shares a real-life ETF scenario and how, in 2002, a near-retirement couple protected their nest egg during intense volatility using defined outcome tools. They preserved their lifestyle when others were taking major hits. How to balance your portfolio for growth and safety. For Phon, the best thing you can do is to talk to a real human advisor. There's too much DIY noise; professional guidance helps you tune the right mix for your unique situation. Phon on what to ask your advisor: Ask how your portfolio would perform in a COVID-style year or another global-financial-crisis scenario. Then ask how it generates income and supports your goals. His favorite question: "Have you actually guided clients through a deep bear market?" Why working with a professional matters: Many strategies look great and work during bull markets. But the real test is whether they protect you when things are down. Phon explains that good portfolio design is about being structurally prepared before volatility hits. You want a position that holds through downturns—and ideally lets you buy when opportunities appear. Phon's parting advice to the audience: Go outside, walk your dog, and take real time away with family. Getting off screens and into nature helps you stay grounded. Investing is long-term—your life should be too.     Mentioned in this episode: VetaInvestmentPartners.com BlackRock.com/us/financial-professionals/insights/outcome-etfs BrianSkrobonja.com SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BUILDbanking.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify     Alternative investments may be subject to less regulation than other types of pooled investment vehicles.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 041: JP Morgan & BlackRock's Coordinated Attack on MicroStrategy Exposed – Banking Cartel vs Michael Saylor's Bitcoin Empire | Brandon Keys (Green Candle)MicroStrategy (MSTR) is under full-scale assault. Brandon Keys, the on-chain wizard and voice behind Green Candle Investments, just dropped undeniable evidence that JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon, BlackRock, and Larry Fink are orchestrating a six-month coordinated attack to crush Michael Saylor's Bitcoin treasury strategy and stop corporations from ditching cash for Bitcoin forever. From sudden margin hikes and MSCI exclusions to “bit bonds” designed to funnel money away from MSTR, the banking cartel is terrified: if Saylor wins, they become obsolete. Yet despite the manipulation, Brandon reveals why this dip is the biggest buying opportunity in years and why, in the end, Bitcoin still wins.Key Topics:Timeline proof of the coordinated attack on MicroStrategy & Bitcoin treasury companiesWhy Jamie Dimon flipped from calling Bitcoin a “pet rock” to quietly attacking MSTRBlackRock & JP Morgan's $500 trillion endgame and “bit bonds” counterattackHow banks are debanking Bitcoin CEOs to reclaim controlOn-chain data showing whales are buying the dip while retail panicsWhy the death of the 4-year cycle is actually bullishSelf-custody: the only way to defeat the banking cartelMacro outlook: money printer incoming and why we're still insanely earlyChapters:00:00 Teaser – “It's been nothing less of a coordinated attack”01:39 Guest Intro – Brandon Keys (Green Candle)02:04 Jamie Dimon's 10-year war on Bitcoin03:28 JP Morgan's sudden margin hike & 25% MSTR drop04:41 MSCI ruling & billions in threatened outflows06:32 Naming only MicroStrategy out of 40 companies07:47 Banks terrified: companies can replace cash with Bitcoin09:14 BlackRock's “bit bonds” & borrow-against-iBit play10:19 The $500 trillion market Saylor is targeting11:08 Banking cartel united against Michael Saylor14:43 Debanking Bitcoin CEOs – Jack Mallers, Swan, Canada17:04 Global macro stress & Bitcoin as most liquid asset19:17 Whales accumulating, retail selling the dip22:09 Self-custody is Bitcoin's true power26:19 We are still insanely early in adoption32:31 Hold 4–5 years = zero fiat losses35:44 Money printer coming soon46:56 Tether, stablecoins & the new dollar recycling scheme52:28 Final message – Self-custody or get rekt by the cartelAbout Brandon Keys:Bitcoin strategist, on-chain analyst, and founder of Green Candle InvestmentsX: @Greencandleit; @keysopen_doorsGreen Candle YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@greencandlePrevious Episode:Bitcoin Privacy Under Attack – Dr. Jack Kruse: https://youtu.be/A0onGcn17fQ

Bitcoin's sudden flash crash has rattled markets as global liquidity tightens and Japan's bond market sends crisis-level warning signals. With 20-year JGB yields spiking toward historic stress points, the yen carry trade is rapidly unwinding and dragging risk assets with it. Gold is surging to six-week highs, Fed rate-cut odds are accelerating, and Trump's move to appoint a new Fed chair adds major uncertainty to the monetary outlook. At the same time, BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF has become its fastest-growing product of 2025, even as Tether faces renewed balance-sheet scrutiny and confidence across crypto wavers.

Go Woke, Go Broke: The Financial Backlash and Corporate Retreat — Charles Gasparino — Gasparino reports that woke capitalism is experiencing significant financial retrenchment as corporations suffer bottom-line consequences. BlackRock experienced approximately $14 billion in asset withdrawals, and financial institutions including Goldman Sachs are dismantling diversity programs. CEOs are systematically abandoning progressive political commitments as financial performance deteriorates, recognizing that woke agendas alienate the broader American consumer base. Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus contends that the ideological struggle continues and characterizes most CEOs who embraced wokeness as "cowards" reflexively following prevailing political sentiment. 1943

Woke Capitalism: Origins, ESG, DEI, and the Power of BlackRock — Charles Gasparino — Gasparino traces the origins of "woke capitalism," detailing how corporate America became an active institutional agent for progressive social change. This ideological shift, accelerated through boardroom political calculations, led to widespread adoption of corporate acronyms including ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), redirecting corporate focus from shareholder returns toward stakeholder capitalism models. Larry Fink's BlackRockstrategically recognized that managing progressive-oriented investment funds could attract trillions in assets, positioning the firm as a powerful enforcer of these policies across corporate America. 1927

Welcome to The Black Rock Podcast, where faith meets real life—and where we're never afraid to try a new snack along the way. Today we're diving into the holiday season, from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and all the joy, excitement, busyness, and stress that can come with it. But in the middle of packed calendars, family gatherings, shopping lists, and expectations, we're reminded that we can find peace and lasting hope in Christ. So grab a seat—and maybe a snack—and let's jump in.

For many investors approaching or navigating retirement, the world of private markets can feel intimidating. Over the past 30 years, the number of public companies in the capital markets has declined by 30% while private markets have grown at the same rate. This means failing to understand the rapidly growing asset class of private markets and alternatives could mean missing opportunities for diversification, income, and potential returns in retirement. In this episode, we're welcoming Jon Diorio, Head of Alternatives for BlackRock's U.S. wealth management business. Jon shares valuable insights into the massive shift in capital markets and explains why private equity, private credit, and other alternative investments are becoming increasingly relevant for everyday investors—not just institutions. In this conversation, Jon breaks down the trends driving private market growth, the different types of alternative investments investors should have on their radar, how new product structures have improved accessibility, and what today's retirees should know before considering alternatives and private markets in their portfolios. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why private companies now outnumber public companies and what that means for diversification. How private credit has surged as banks retreat from lending. The benefits and tradeoffs of new "evergreen" and semi-liquid fund structures. Why due diligence, liquidity awareness, and manager selection matter in alternatives. How BlackRock's HDMA framework (Hedge, Diversify, Modify, Amplify) helps identify the right type of alternative investment for your goals. What investors should know before adding private equity or private credit to their retirement plan. Want the Full Show Notes?

En la última hora de Capital Intereconomía, el equipo se trasladó al Madrid Investor Networking Day (MIND), el gran punto de encuentro del sector financiero y de la gestión de activos. Desde allí, el programa condujo dos mesas redondas y una entrevista especial con algunos de los principales líderes de la industria tecnológica y de inversión. La primera mesa, moderada por Susana Criado, reunió a Luis Nasser, WealthTech Consultant en Prometeia; Ángel Agudo, Chief Product Officer & Board Director en Clarity AI; y David Lozano Lucas, Fundador y CEO de Wealth Reader. Todos coincidieron en que la tecnología está redefiniendo el futuro del asesoramiento financiero, aportando eficiencia, personalización y transparencia. Los expertos destacaron cómo la inteligencia artificial, el big data y la automatización de procesos están permitiendo a las entidades ofrecer una experiencia de cliente más ágil y predictiva, y señalaron que la colaboración entre fintechs y gestoras tradicionales será esencial para mantener la competitividad en un entorno cada vez más regulado y digitalizado. En la segunda mesa, centrada en la transversalidad y el valor de las alianzas estratégicas, participaron Elena Guanter, Directora General Iberia y Latam de Candriam; David Anglés, Head of Marketing South Europe & France en Allianz Global Investors; André Themudo, Head of Wealth para Iberia en BlackRock; y Diego Rueda Moltó, Responsable de fondos de fondos y selección de fondos en Unicaja Asset Management. Los ponentes analizaron cómo la delegación de mandatos en gestoras especializadas está ganando peso por su capacidad de aportar diversificación, conocimiento sectorial y control de riesgos, especialmente en un momento en que la sostenibilidad, la IA y la gestión activa son factores diferenciales en la toma de decisiones de inversión. Para cerrar la jornada, Lorena Martínez-Olivares, Executive Director y Directora Comercial de J.P. Morgan Asset Management, ofreció una entrevista sobre el auge de los ETFs bajo el título “ETFs: del margen al centro del tablero”. Martínez-Olivares explicó cómo los fondos cotizados han pasado de ser instrumentos de nicho a ocupar un papel central en la gestión discrecional de carteras, gracias a su eficiencia, liquidez y transparencia. Además, destacó que el futuro del sector combinará gestión activa y pasiva con una integración cada vez mayor de criterios sostenibles y soluciones temáticas.

José Antonio Esteban, CEO de IronIA Fintech, nos presenta las funcionalidades de la nueva app que la empresa lanzó hace poco menos de un mes. “Nuestra app está en continúa evolución”, asegura el invitado. ¿Qué diferencias hay entre esta versión y la versión anterior? El experto señala que “la primera versión era meramente consultiva, donde podías ver el buscador o los fondos mientras que en esta nueva versión, que está ya disponible y se puede actualizar, lo que se permite es la gestión de intervinientes”. Otro de los aspectos clave para él es que “se puede acceder a todas las órdenes que se han realizado en las carteras, para que se puedan ver de una manera rápida y coherente”. Otro de los aspectos clave para él es que se pueden contratar planes y carteras ejemplo. ¿Qué son las carteras ejemplo? “En nuestra idea de hacerlo todo fácil, cuando tu te enfrentas por primera vez a una selección de fondos, puedes tener o no experiencia, por lo que sería bueno contar con un ejemplo que te ayudara a ver cómo se construye una cartera de forma equilibrada y diversificada”, asegura el CEO de IronIA Fintech. Añade que son “ejemplos de carteras construidas por profesionales, en este caso por BlackRock, que además las promocionan, por lo que los clientes no les cuesta dinero coger esa cartera sana”. ¿Ha mejorado la seguridad de la inversión con esta app? José Antonio Esteban cree que “se ha incrementado la seguridad, puesto que las apps al estar instaladas en sistemas operativos permite hacer más cosas de las que permite un navegador”. También añade que “en estas apps lo que se genera es una experiencia para un dispositivo para un tamaño específico, como puede ser la pantalla de un móvil”. Además, asegura que “quieren ofrecer una experiencia en el dispositivo del cliente”.

The Bitcoin Boomers Ep. 02: Fiat's Final Days & AI Job Apocalypse | Larry Lepard, Dr. Bob Murphy, Bob Burnett, Gary LelandDr. Bob Murphy (NYU PhD, Mises Institute Senior Fellow, former Contra Krugman host) joins Bob Burnett, Larry Lepard, and Gary Leland for the most explosive Bitcoin Boomers episode yet. From the very first minutes the gloves come off: fiat's 100-year Keynesian experiment is mathematically doomed, AI is already wiping out entry-level jobs overnight, robots are on track to rival nation-states, and deflationary technology just made debt-based money impossible to sustain. Larry drops the hammer (“the whole experiment is about to blow the fuck up — and it deserves to”), Bob Murphy calmly explains why Bitcoin proves you don't need the state to have money, and the crew debates UBI inevitability, spend-and-replace adoption strategies, and why BlackRock & nation-states are suddenly begging for Bitcoin.This is the red-pill episode you send to every boomer, uncle, or normie who still thinks the dollar is fine. If you want the intellectual ammo to orange-pill anyone over the holidays, this is it.Key Topics:Why fiat is now mathematically unsustainableAI silently killing entry-level hiring todayRobots rivaling nation-states in powerDeflationary tech destroying debt-based moneyBitcoin proves you don't need government to issue moneyThe regression theorem tragedy that cost Austrians millionsUBI is politically unstoppableGreenspan's private confession: being Fed Chair was “absolutely intoxicating”Spend-and-replace vs pure HODL debateBlackRock begging for Bitcoin — Bob's biggest 2025 shock20% Bitcoin discount at the CrossFit gym storyWhy the next 100 M users could arrive in monthsChapters:00:00:00 Cold Open – The end of fiat has begun00:01:11 Welcome Dr. Bob Murphy & Bob Burnett00:03:20 Why economics has warring schools00:12:17 MMT exposed00:19:16 Larry: “It's about to blow the fuck up — and it deserves to”00:26:26 AI already killing entry-level jobs00:33:46 UBI is coming — politically impossible to stop00:39:50 Robots will rival nation-states00:43:10 Deflation just killed debt-based money00:46:48 “Bitcoin proved you don't need the state to issue money”00:52:31 The regression theorem tragedy00:55:21 Spend-and-replace debate01:00:41 Real-world Bitcoin adoption stories01:04:38 BlackRock begging for Bitcoin01:10:57 “I cannot believe we got here this fast”Guest : Dr. Robert Murphy (@BobMurphyEcon) – NYU PhD, Mises Institute Senior Fellow, Chief Economist at InfinitoWebsite: https://www.bobmurphyshow.com/Hosts:Lawrence Lepard (@LawrenceLepard): Sound money advocate, fund manager, author of "The Big Print" Bob Burnett (@boomer_btc): Bitcoin evangelist, Founder/CEO of Barefoot Mining, former CTO at Gateway Inc.

Europe's macro outlook is shifting. After years of fiscal restraint and fragmented policy, the region is entering a new chapter one centered on pro-growth fiscal policy, energy security, and capital-market reform. For investors, this transformation signals the potential for renewed momentum in European equities and fixed income.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Helen Jewell, Chief Investment Officer for EMEA Fundamental Equities, and Roelof Salomons, Chief Investment Strategist for Northern Europe at the BlackRock Investment Institute, about how Europe's evolving macro and investing environment is creating new opportunities across sectors.They explore how fiscal flexibility is enabling investment in productivity and innovation, how energy transition and AI demand are reshaping infrastructure and power markets, and why European banks, defense companies, and energy-efficiency leaders have emerged as standouts. The conversation also looks at the valuation gap between Europe and the U.S., the implications of potential ECB rate cuts, and what reforms could drive a broader, more durable resurgence.Key Takeaways:· Europe's shift toward fiscal flexibility marks its first explicitly pro-growth stance in over a decade.· The intersection of energy transition and AI is driving infrastructure and power investment.· Banks, defense, and efficiency-focused industrials remain strong performers.· Europe still trades at a discount to the U.S., offering selective opportunity.· Integration of capital markets could unlock long-term competitiveness.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction: Europe's Economic Challenges and Optimism01:10 Meet the Experts: Helen Jewell and Roelof Salomons02:17 Historical Context: Europe's Economic Journey03:51 Current Barriers and Progress in Europe05:40 Sector Focus: Defense, Banks, and Energy08:49 Fiscal Policy and Unified European Growth10:33 Energy and AI: The Long-Term Investment Landscape14:30 Valuation and Market Opportunities in Europe17:17 Conclusion: Path to a Broad Resurgence in Europe19:21 Closing Remarks and Future OutlookEurope investing; Europe macro; European equities; investing in Europe; capital-markets union; energy transition Europe; European fiscal policy; European banks; AI power demand; ECB rate cuts; BlackRock Investment Institute; European defense; valuation gap; competitiveness in EuropeSources: “What's needed for an investment renaissance in Europe?”, BlackRock Investment Institute, October 2025; NATO, August 2025; BlackRock Fundamental Equities analysis, September 2025; “Entering The Age of Electricity”, IEA Electricity Demand 2025;This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Bitcoin is stuck. The market feels heavy. Sentiment is terrible. And yet, none of the traditional bull-market top signals have fired. Not a single one. In Episode 796, Joel and Travis dig into one of the strangest phases Bitcoin has ever entered. A trillion dollars has fallen off the crypto market cap since early October, ETF flows have flipped negative, liquidity is thinning out, and institutions are repositioning. But at the same time, the larger macro picture, historical drawdowns, and long-term adoption trends point to something very different. Is this the end of the bull run? Or is this exactly what a mid-cycle flush looks like—painful, confusing, and full of mixed signals? In this episode we cover:• Why liquidity is disappearing and how it affects every chart• ETF outflows, BlackRock’s massive selling week, and what it really means• Why none of the historical bull-run peak indicators have triggered• How macro forces, Japan’s rate shifts, and global pressure ripple into crypto• What Apple, Nvidia, and on-device AI reveal about where the tech cycle is headed• Why Bitcoin repeat patterns matter—and why they don’t• The psychological trap of watching the market every day This is a grounded, straight-talk conversation about the state of the market — the kind of conversation Joel and Travis used to have before the podcast even existed. Crypto goes up. Crypto goes down. The chart keeps moving. And your favorite blockheads are still here, from Dubai to Puerto Rico.
