Bob Fraser, co-founder and chief financial officer at Aspen Funds, says the market has gotten excited and ahead of itself, so that it could spend the early part of the year mostly at a standstill, but he also doesn't see much downside risk, with neither a recession nor a crash in the offing.  Ultimately, Fraser thinks the market will end the year up, though not as much as it gained in the year we just completed. Also on the show, subscription expert Robbie Kellman Baxter talks about how companies take steps to get consumers hooked and to make it hard for them to wriggle off of the regular payment cycle, and she offers tips for protecting yourself from subscription overload, plus Chuck makes his market and economic forecasts for the year ahead.

Originally published September 23, 2021. This week we take a deeper look at private equity and venture capital as we look to emulate the strategies and investment vehicles that the ultra-wealthy use to generate better returns and diversification. Average investors have historically been under-allocated to these asset classes, but for many ultra HNWIs, their allocations to private equity are equal to their allocations to real estate. Learn the key strategies for investing in private equity and venture capital, and the different structures and their pros and cons.

Originally published September 30, 2021. This week we take a deeper look at private equity and venture capital as we look to emulate the strategies and investment vehicles that the ultra-wealthy use to generate better returns and diversification. Average investors have historically been under-allocated to these asset classes, but for many ultra HNWIs, their allocations to private equity are equal to their allocations to real estate. Learn the key strategies for investing in private equity and venture capital, and the different structures and their pros and cons.

This is the second part of the two-part podcast interview with Bob Fraser. And we pivot today's discussion into the megatrends: demographics, oil & gas, inflation, and interest rates. He discusses the trends he's seeing and specifically identifies what asset classes will help us capitalize on that trend.About Bob FraserBob Fraser is a finance and technology executive, with over 20 years of experience, who is passionate about educating others about alternative investments. In 2012, he co-founded Aspen Funds, a fund management company focused on alternative investments, where he is responsible for financial management, portfolio modeling, as well as systems and processes.Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation:[00:00] Introduction[02:58] The megatrends in demographics[07:16] The industrial boom in the United States[15:14] How investors can capitalize on the energy issue[18:52] How LPs get comfortable with oil and gas[24:15] Inflation is coming due to demographics[27:21] Opportunities in the distressed debt space[32:56] Economic forecasts for the second half of 2023Episode Highlights:[04:08] The Megatrends in DemographicsChina's population is set to decline drastically in the next 75 years, leading to significant changes in its economy and workforce. This will result in a surplus of infrastructure that may no longer be necessary, and a severe impact on the country's manufacturing power due to the loss of two-thirds of its workforce. The demographic shift will have implications for other countries in Asia, Russia, and Italy, and will significantly alter the world's economic landscape, making it challenging for China to remain an industrial power in the future.[15:14] Non-operated Working Interests: How Investors Can Capitalize on the Energy IssueOne way to make money is through property rights and royalty interests. However, many people park their money in this way, which can result in low returns. To generate substantial profits, it's essential to have a deep understanding of where the development is going and make smart investments.Non-operated working interests entail owning leases, paying royalties to landowners, and giving them to other operators such as large oil companies who bring resources and expertise to the table. Revenues are shared between parties, leading to high returns on investment without direct management of operations. Despite the minimal risks associated with drilling due to advanced technology and well-understood geology, many investors are hesitant to take advantage of this opportunity, making it a cost-effective option for those willing to take the risk.[27:21] Opportunities in the Distressed Debt SpaceIf you're looking for investment opportunities, consider distressed debt as a potential option.

When it comes to investing, timing can make or break your portfolio's success. While efficiency and maximizing returns are essential goals, aligning your investments with the market's ebbs and flows is crucial. In this episode, Bob Fraser discusses the importance of timing your investments and why development can be a lower-risk strategy. He also shares insights on navigating the multifamily market and emphasizes the need for due diligence and trust in the investment business.About Bob FraserBob Fraser is a finance and technology executive, with over 20 years of experience, who is passionate about educating others about alternative investments. In 2012, he co-founded Aspen Funds, a fund management company focused on alternative investments, where he is responsible for financial management, portfolio modeling, as well as systems and processes.Fraser is the co-host of the Invest Like a Billionaire podcast where he joins his son, Ben, and Aspen co-founder Jim Maffuccio, to dive into the world of alternative investments and speak with successful investors. The trio also discusses economic trends, including megatrends such as inflation, energy prices and deglobalization. The goal is to empower others looking to explore less volatile investment opportunities improving their portfolio's performance and enabling them to become more financially secure.Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation:[06:08] The shift from notes to other asset classes[08:22] The importance of timing your investments[14:14] What happens when interest rates go up[16:13] Why invest in multifamily[21:15] Why development is lower risk[29:36] How an LP does due diligence [32:47] Trust is everything in this business.Episode Highlights:[08:34] Navigating the Multifamily MarketThe multifamily sector may experience some challenging years ahead. However, this doesn't signify the end of multifamily investments. Instead, it can be an excellent opportunity for buying. This serves as a reminder that as investors, we need to be prudent and thoughtful in our decision-making.[10:49] The Importance of Timing Your InvestmentsSuccess is not only about gaining efficiency and maximizing returns but also aligning your investment timing correctly. Pursuing vertical integration to achieve a 10% efficiency might appear promising, but it won't yield results if you're losing 90% of your investment. Market fluctuations and economic changes necessitate keeping a close eye on market trends and making informed decisions based on prevailing circumstances. Timing is vital in investing, and getting it right can minimize risks, maximize returns, and identify opportunities for growth, expansion while avoiding costly mistakes.[22:16] Why Development is a Lower RiskDeveloping properties can be a lower-risk investment strategy as it allows for more control over the costs. Investing in a value-add property may seem like a good idea, but building new units can be more cost-effective and less risky. For example, in Northwest Arkansas, there are properties for sale at $195,000 per unit, but new units can be built for $130,000. Similarly, building industrial properties can be a smart investment, especially since it's currently difficult to buy industrial properties. Building cheaply, like an industrial warehouse, can yield high returns, especially if leased out. Even if it's not leased immediately, having a long runway for the property can help mitigate risks. Overall, development provides more control over costs and can be a safer investment strategy.This show is for entertainment purposes only.

Today's guest doubts that The Fed will be able to hit it's 2% Inflation goal anytime soon… This is because Energy prices are the biggest driver of inflation. Energy is needed to make, operate, or do anything! Unfortunately, Energy was the cause of inflation in the 70s, as well… However, in today's episode, Bob Fraser identifies numerous investable trends coming out of this crisis! Crisis and opportunity are two sides of the same coin. Right now, inflation is coming down, but as soon as economic activity picks back up, Inflation will likely come back… This is because we have massively underinvested in energy over the last 5 years. In other words, we have a limited supply of energy, so increases in demand will increase prices.  However, this energy crisis will be particularly good for certain business plans and asset classes, so this episode is definitely a must-listen if you are investing in 2023 or 2024!
