Tax-managed equity has evolved beyond the traditional long-only playbook. By adding selective shorts and leverage, 130/30 active extension strategies aim to unlock higher alpha while maintaining market-level beta—plus potentially meaningful after-tax benefits through disciplined loss harvesting. Where can this approach fit in portfolios today?   On this episode of Disruptive Forces, host Anu Rajakumar speaks with Ray Carroll, CIO of Neuberger Berman's Breton Hill quantitative investing team, and Jacob Greene, Head Strategist for Custom Direct Investing, to demystify 130/30 tax-managed portfolios and where they work best—from diversifying single-stock concentrations to preparing for large taxable events, with global considerations beyond the U.S.     This communication is provided for informational and educational purposes only and nothing herein constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a security.

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast. We know it's a bad to be short-sided. But there's one pin location that makes us blind to the danger. In this episode, Lou asks Mark and Greg how often low single-figure indexes miss the green from 120–130 yards when the pin is in the back of the green versus the front of the green. The difference is not trivial, and should be something you keep in mind next time you head to the course. Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat. We will discuss what you can learn, and most importantly, how you can apply this on the golf course to lower your scores and lower your handicap.

In this episode, Kathy Jones and Liz Ann Sonders discuss some recent investor' questions involving credit risks, government debt, and the potential for an AI bubble. Then, Mike Townsend, Schwab's Washington-based political analyst, joins the show to discuss the end of the government shutdown. He and Liz Ann and Kathy cover the provisions within the agreement to reopen the government, including the potential extension of subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. They also discuss the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on tariffs and how the government might take a while to get caught up on data releases involving employment and inflation information. Kathy and Liz Ann routinely answer questions about the effects of government debt and deficits, and they ask Mike Townsend for his thoughts on how and when that issue might be resolved. Finally, they address upcoming changes to the tax code and the political fallout of the shutdown.You can keep up with the latest developments out of Washington—and learn how they might affect investors—by following Mike Townsend on X and LinkedIn.

In this episode of the Investors First Podcast, we sit down with Perth Tolle, founder of the Freedom 100 Emerging Markets Index (FRDM), now over $1.6B in assets. We explore her vision for how personal and economic freedom can shape global investment outcomes. Perth shares her journey from growing up in Beijing to moving to the U.S. at age nine, her early career as a Fidelity advisor, and how those experiences ultimately inspired her differentiated approach to emerging-markets investing. We discuss how she constructs and maintains the FRDM Index, the impact of excluding authoritarian regimes like China and Russia, the wide dispersion across EM index methodologies, and why her strategy has delivered top-tier long-term performance. Perth also walks us through fee decisions, her unique "team of one" operating model, her chance encounter with Rob Arnott and his future support of the Freedom 100 EM ETF, and what it's like partnering with Alpha Architect. This conversation offers a fresh perspective for advisors and investors seeking a freedom-focused approach to global markets.

Emerging market debt has weathered a long stretch of tight financial conditions—marked by a strong US dollar, higher global rates, and uneven post-pandemic recoveries. With the dollar softening and policy rates beginning to ease, investors are warming up to hard currency EM debt as a potentially attractive source of diversification and carry.    On this episode of Disruptive Forces, host Anu Rajakumar speaks with  Global Co-Head of Emerging Markets Debt Gorky Urquieta to hear what's been driving hard currency EM debt and what role it plays in today's fixed income landscape. Together, they unpack the differences between hard and local currency exposures, explore how dollar dynamics and the Fed's easing cycle can influence performance for EM sovereigns.      This communication is provided for informational and educational purposes only and nothing herein constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a security.

Liz Ann Sonders and Kathy Jones discuss this week's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and the latest interest rate cut. They also analyze some of the details of what is driving the Fed's decisions in light of the government shutdown.Next, Kathy Jones is joined by David Beckworth. Kathy and David discuss the complexities of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, the broader implications of monetary policy, and the emerging landscape of stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
