Bodycam Fight, Jobs Report & NC Theft Case The Big Ugly Bill has passed in the House today with a narrow 218–214 vote. Only two Republicans voted against it.

Traditional IRA account owners have considerations to make before performing a Roth IRA conversion. These primarily include income tax consequences on the converted amount in the year of conversion, withdrawal limitations from a Roth IRA, and income limitations for future contributions to a Roth IRA. In addition, if you are required to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) in the year you convert, you must do so before converting to a Roth IRA. Premier Investments & Wealth Management and LPL Financial do not provide specific individualized tax or legal advice. We suggest that you discuss your specific situation with a qualified tax or legal advisor.

Some investments are flashier or more exciting than others.  But do you really need flashy and exciting to meet your financial goals?  In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, hosts Corey Janoff and Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff talk about alternative investment strategies and whether you may need them as part of your investment strategy. This episode covers some basics of alternative investments including: Advantages and disadvantages of these kinds of tools. Advantages include diversification and potentially higher returns. Disadvantages include potential for greater losses, higher costs, lack of liquidity, and less regulation than more traditional investments. Different types of alternative investments (hedge funds, structured notes, private equity, etc.) How to evaluate whether these may be an appropriate addition to your plan. As always, whether a particular strategy makes sense for you depends on your financial status, goals, and even personality.  Most folks will not need complicated alternative investments to meet their goals, but it can be something to consider for folks who are willing to take on more risks and costs to explore something a little different (and potentially exciting if you are successful). For more financial planning tips from Corey and Rachelle, you can reach out to them at podcast@thefinitygroup.com. They would love to hear your questions and ideas for upcoming episodes. Discussions in this show should not be construed as specific recommendations or investment advice. Always consult with your investment professional before making important investment decisions.
