In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, Paul sits down with Christopher Craig, a Foreclosure Surplus Expert, tax strategist, and serial entrepreneur, to discuss why the traditional "American Dream" of real estate investing might actually be keeping you trapped. Christopher breaks down why he is selling off his massive real estate portfolio to invest in a low-maintenance, high-yield asset class: legal arcade games and medical equipment. Instead of dealing with tenants and broken roofs, he explains how business owners and high-income earners can use bonus depreciation to legally zero out their taxes while generating true, hands-off passive income. In this conversation, Christopher shares: Why traditional rental properties are a "slow burn" that trap your equity How to legally offset 100% of your taxable income using bonus depreciation The exact blueprint for investing in legal arcade machines and medical equipment Why adaptability and taking the first step are the true secrets to leaving the W-2 grind This episode is a must-listen for business owners, high-income earners, and anyone looking to build real passive income while mastering the tax game.

It's time to talk about the "cash itch,” that restless feeling doctors get when a healthy high-yield savings account starts to look like a missed opportunity. Nate Reineke and Chelsea Jones dive into a dilemma from a radiologist in Texas who's wondering if their idle cash should finally be put to work in the market. While the instinct is to always be investing, Nate and Chelsea argue that liquidity is actually a physician's greatest superpower, whether you're buffering against a surprise tax bill from a "creative" CPA or navigating the unpredictable first year of retirement. We get brutally honest about why the standard emergency fund advice doesn't always apply to doctors, and how a pile of cash can protect your long-term portfolio from a kitchen renovation gone rogue. If you've ever felt guilty for holding onto "lazy" money while waiting for the next big tuition check or career move, this conversation will help you stop overthinking and start valuing the peace of mind that only a massive cash cushion can provide. We also answer your colleagues' questions. My current advisor has me in 90% stocks, and while I understand in theory why it might be a good asset allocation for me given my age, it makes me uncomfortable. What should I do? My kids have graduated, and I actually have money left over in their 529s! I'm thrilled to pass this gift down to my grandkids, but I'm wondering: how should I be investing the leftover money? A Urologist in Washington asks, “Is it wise for us to buy a $2M house? Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into a plan for college and retirement?

In this episode of Ditch the Suits, Travis Maus tackles some of the most searched financial questions; starting with high‑yield accounts and where cash really belongs in today's environment. You'll learn the real differences between online savings accounts, money market funds, bonds, and other “higher yield” options, along with the trade‑offs around access, liquidity, and risk that rarely get explained clearly.

Amerant Investments Chief Investment Officer Baylor Lancaster-Samuel joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the Amerant Latin American Debt UCITS ETF (RNTA), outlining how the fund offers investors targeted exposure to high-yield Latin American corporate bonds while eliminating currency risk. Lancaster-Samuel said the ETF was designed to solve a common challenge for investors seeking access to the region's fixed income markets. Many Latin American corporate bonds are issued in large minimum denominations, making it difficult for individual and smaller institutional investors to build diversified portfolios. By packaging these opportunities into an ETF structure, RNTA provides more accessible and efficient exposure to the asset class. The fund invests in U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds, allowing investors to benefit from emerging market yields without being exposed to foreign exchange volatility. Lancaster-Samuel emphasized that this approach enables the ETF to focus on high-quality issuers across Latin America, particularly large, well-established companies with international operations. Geographically, RNTA is concentrated in key regional economies including Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, while maintaining diversification across roughly 50 issuers. The portfolio spans a wide range of sectors such as metals and mining, oil and gas, utilities, financial services, retail, agriculture, and technology, providing balanced exposure across the region's economic landscape. One of the ETF's most compelling features is its yield profile. Lancaster-Samuel highlighted that yields in Latin America can reach approximately 6.6%, notably higher than those available in broader emerging markets or U.S. fixed income benchmarks. He added that the fund's yield to worst is approaching 8%, positioning RNTA as an attractive option for income-focused investors seeking both yield and potential capital appreciation. Importantly, the ETF avoids sovereign debt entirely, instead concentrating on corporate issuers where stronger yield opportunities and more targeted credit selection can be achieved. #proactiveinvestors #hanetf #amerantinvestments #BaylorLancaster-Samuel #ETF #FixedIncome #LatinAmerica #EmergingMarkets #Investing #Yield #Bonds #UCITS #IncomeInvesting #USDBonds #AssetManagement #InvestmentStrategy #FinancialMarkets #WealthManagement

Does high yield actually mean high income?   A lot of investors see a high-yield bond, REIT, BDC, dividend stock, or income product and assume the same thing: higher yield means better income and better returns.   But that assumption can be dangerous.   Today on Financial Detox, Jason and Alex break down the hidden risks behind chasing yield, why high-yield investments are often misunderstood, and how investors can end up taking on far more risk than they realize.   What we cover today:

“Technicals for high yield post-Covid have been very strong, with pretty limited net new supply, minimal downgrades, strong demand given elevated base rates and pretty reasonable credit spread,” says John McClain, Goldman Sachs Asset Management's global co-head of High Yield and Bank Loans. “We're seeing some net new supply from areas like data-center debt,” and “large LBO bonds that are coming over the next couple of weeks, in conjunction with a couple of decent sized cap stacks migrating to high yield will probably lead to some indigestion in the marketplace.” McClain joins Bloomberg Intelligence's Noel Hebert on the latest Credit Crunch podcast to discuss data-center vs. software issuance, private credit knock-on effects and where to find value in the current market. The Credit Crunch podcast is part of BI's FICC Focus series.

In a conversation with Pascal Wagner, Brandon Martini unveils a groundbreaking approach to income investing. While many associate this field solely with real estate or conventional bonds, Martini's private credit fund offers a high-yield, consistent return by strategically financing the training of the next generation of pilots. Amid a significant pilot shortage, this unique strategy allows investors to potentially earn up to 19% annually, with monthly payouts, directly supporting training programs for thousands of aspiring pilots. Martini shares the origin of his fund, which he built from the ground up in 2020. It's revolutionizing private lending by filling a previously unmet, critical funding gap for flight schools.

Our Chief Fixed Income Strategist Vishy Tirupattur and U.S. Head of Credit Strategy Vishwas Patkar discuss the implications of private credit's exposure to the software industry.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Vishy Tirupattur: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I am Vishy Tirupattur, Morgan Stanley's Chief Fixed Income Strategist. Vishwas Patkar: I'm Vishwas Patkar, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Head of Credit Strategy. Vishy Tirupattur: While potential disruption from AI has been a key driver for markets [in the] last few weeks, the focus of investor agenda has been in the software sector. On today's podcast, we will talk about software in the credit markets and its implications. It's Monday, March 2nd at 10am in New York. Vishwas, let's start by understanding how the exposure in software manifests in the credit markets. How does it compare to software, say, in the equity market? Vishwas Patkar: Yeah, so the software exposure in credit markets is large, and understandably that's why investors are closely watching what's happening with software in the equity market. But what's interesting and important for investors to note is the exposure in credit is very different from what it is in equities. So, for instance, a good chunk of exposure in the credit market is around private issuers. So, we estimate about 80 percent of companies are private in the whole sample set that we looked at. And that's largely a function of the fact that software is not a big part of the more liquid spaces like Investment Grade and High Yield. But it is heavily represented in the more opaque parts of the market, like leveraged loans, CLOs, and, you know, BDCs. So, our analysis found that about 25 percent of BDC portfolios are in software, closely followed by private credit CLOs. And leveraged loan market was about 16 percent. So, that's an important distinction to keep in mind versus the equity market. The second thing I would flag is – because the software sector grew a lot in the loan market through the LBO wave of 2020 and 2021, it has a weaker credit quality skew to it than the overall market. So about 50 percent of borrowers in the sector are rated B - or lower. So, that's the lowest rungs of the rating spectrum. Many of these software deals were underwritten with higher leverage than the broad market. And as a result of that you also have more front-loaded maturities in the sector, which brings the risks of refinancing, if some of this disruption persists. But Vishy, that's a nice segue to you. Over the past couple of years, you looked at the private credit market in depth and that's where I think the exposure we found is the highest in BDCs, you know, which is the public face of private credit. So, in your assessment, what is the risk of software to private credit, given all of the headlines that are popping up? Vishy Tirupattur: Public face of private credit – Vishwas, that's a great line. BDCs – business development corporations for those who are not familiar – are companies that invest in the debt of small and medium sized companies, sourced through non-bank channels. BDCs fund themselves through equity and debt issuance. So, if you look at the portfolios of BDCs to look at their exposure to software, there's a wide variation across the various BDC portfolios. What makes the assessment of these software risks in BDCs challenging is that many of these companies are private companies without the reporting obligations of public companies. So, no earnings reports, no 10-Ks or cues or broadly publicly available financials look at. So, in effect, these companies need to be re underwritten to evaluate which of these companies would be disrupted from AI; and which companies could actually benefit from AI and see their margins expand. So, in the context of BDCs, liability spreads are something we are watching closely. BDC liability spreads have widened but we think more needs to happen there. The clearing levels need to wait for the full resolution of the companies that benefit and that get hurt by disruption that is still awaited. So, we expect credit spreads of BDCs to remain volatile for some time to come. Vishwas Patkar: Okay. So, seems like this is a significant, or at least a non-trivial risk factor for credit markets, given the growth of the sector, leverage, the skew and quality. But Vishy, do you think this could be systemic for risk markets at large? Vishy Tirupattur: So, I do think that this is a significant risk, but I don't think it's a systemic risk. The amount of leverage in BDC is fairly small. About 2x is the kind of leverage. You compare that to the kind of leverage that existed in the financial system before the financial crisis – that's orders of magnitude smaller risk. And also the linkage to the banking system comes through the back leverage provided to the non-bank lenders. But this leverage is substantially risk remote with very high subordination levels. So, my conclusion here is this is a significant risk but not a systemic risk. So let me turn the same question to you, Vishwas. Taking on a sort of historical perspective as well as a macro perspective, how do you see this risk manifesting in the broader credit space? Vishwas Patkar: Yeah, so I would agree with you Vishy, that we need to see a valuation reset. We think spreads should go wider because of disruption concerns, even if they affect a relatively narrow part of the market. But a lot of that's happening against issuance that's rising. But I would say the risk of systemic concerns really emerging is relatively low. if you look at historical cycles where credit has been the weak link in the economy, those are typically characterized by a lot of corporate re-leveraging. So, think about the late 1990s or from 2004 to 2007 or the early 2000-teens. These are all cycles where corporates were being very aggressive, adding a lot of debt. And you know, when the economy slowed, credit became the source of some default and downgrade concerns. We haven't really seen that type of credit cycle play out at all in the past few years. If you look at corporate debt to GDP, for example, it's gone down each of the last five years. Balance sheet corporate leverage has been flat or actually gone lower in spots. M&A activity, which is usually a good indicator of corporate aggressiveness, still remains below trend. So, I think we have had a fairly restrained credit cycle where in place fundamentals are quite strong. And that's why I think the systemic contagion from any credit spread weakness, I think could be relatively muted. Vishy Tirupattur: So, the key takeaway from us is that software and credit is a significant risk but is not quite systemic risk. Thanks for listening.

Questions? Comments?In this episode of Talking Real Money, Don and Tom take aim at “magical” high-yield investments, focusing on why junk bond funds often behave more like risky stocks than stable bonds. Drawing on research from Larry Swedroe, they explain how high fees, high turnover, and economic sensitivity undermine the appeal of high-yield funds—especially during recessions. They reinforce the core principle that higher returns always mean higher risk and argue that investors are usually better served taking risk in equities and safety in high-quality bonds. Listener questions cover HSAs in retirement, Roth IRAs for young investors, backdoor Roth conversions, and the Vanguard Star Fund.

High-yield savings rates have dipped slightly since early spring, but they remain strong enough that choosing the right account right now can still be a wise move. After several quarter-point interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, savings yields have eased—but not disappeared. In fact, many online banks continue to offer returns well above those of most brick-and-mortar institutions.Understanding what's happening—and how to respond—can help you steward your cash with wisdom and confidence.Why Savings Still Matter in Your Financial PlanSavings and investments play very different roles. A savings account is designed for money that must remain safe, accessible, and dependable—your emergency fund, short-term needs, and dollars you'll rely on in the next few years.Savings won't deliver investment-level growth, but the interest they earn still matters. Every bit of growth helps preserve purchasing power and strengthens your financial footing over time.Over the past few years, inflation rose well above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. In response, the Fed raised short-term interest rates aggressively. As rates climbed, savings yields—especially at online banks—rose alongside them.Earlier this year, many high-yield savings accounts were paying between 4.75% and 5%, sometimes more. That gave savers an unusual opportunity to earn meaningful interest on cash that would otherwise sit idle.Since then, inflation has cooled, and the Fed has begun cutting rates. Those reductions have nudged savings yields lower, but today's rates are still historically strong—and far more generous than what traditional banks typically offer.Why Timing Still Works in Your FavorBanks rarely adjust savings rates immediately after a Fed announcement. Often, there's a window—sometimes several weeks—when higher yields remain available before they gradually drift downward.That lag creates an opportunity. While savings accounts aren't “locked in” like CDs, moving your money into a competitive high-yield account now allows you to benefit as rates slowly settle. Banks tend to move cautiously, often watching one another before making changes, which gives savers time to act.For many families, knowing their savings are earning a solid return brings peace of mind—whether preparing for an unexpected expense or setting aside resources for opportunities God may bring.Where High-Yield Savings Fit BestA strong savings strategy usually includes three key priorities:1. Your emergency fund. Keep three to six months of expenses in a high-yield savings account. The stronger the yield, the faster that cushion grows—without taking on risk or debt.2. Short- and mid-term goals. Money you'll need in the next two to five years—such as a down payment, major repair, or planned purchase—should stay protected from market volatility. High-yield savings accounts offer both safety and reasonable earnings.3. Regular comparison. Some traditional banks still pay as little as 0.01%—essentially nothing—while online banks often offer rates dozens of times higher. Comparing what you're earning with what's available elsewhere can make a meaningful difference.Exploring Your Options WiselyComparison sites like Bankrate and NerdWallet can help you evaluate current rates while also considering reliability, customer experience, and safety ratings.Money market accounts are another solid option, often offering competitive yields with added flexibility, such as check-writing privileges. Just be mindful of minimum balance requirements.Don't overlook credit unions either. As not-for-profit institutions, they often return earnings to members through stronger rates and lower fees. One example is AdelFi Christian Banking, a credit union that combines competitive yields with support for Gospel-centered ministry worldwide.You can learn more at FaithFi.com/Banking.Stewardship Is About Faithful ConsistencyChoosing where to place your savings isn't simply about chasing the highest return. It's about managing God's resources with intention and care. Saving consistently—month after month, year after year—is quiet, faithful work.A wise savings vehicle supports that journey, helping your money work a little harder while you walk forward with clarity, confidence, and trust in the Lord's provision.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 70 and retired, with a steady monthly income. I need a car costing about $20,000, and I still owe $27,000 on my mortgage. I'd prefer not to carry two payments—should I pay off the mortgage or buy the car, and where should the money come from?I want long-term protection through investing in gold. What's the best way to do that today?I'm retired and have about $1 million invested with Edward Jones. They're moving me to a 1.2% annual fee on my entire portfolio instead of transaction-based fees. I agreed, but I now wonder whether the fee is warranted.

High-yield savings rates have dipped a bit since early spring—but they’re still strong enough that locking one in for a season could be a wise move.
