When investors think of diversifying their portfolios, the immediate thought often veers towards stocks and bonds. However, as markets evolve and become increasingly volatile, alternative investment strategies are gaining traction among savvy investors. The podcast episode featuring Thomas McPherson, led by Jay Conner, provides valuable insights into how real estate and private lending can serve as powerful tools for financial growth and stability.The Value of Private MoneyOne of the key themes discussed in the episode is the role of private money in real estate investments. Unlike institutional financing, which can be laden with complex processes and stringent requirements, private money offers flexibility and a more personal touch. Tomas McPherson emphasizes the advantages of using private funds, which often result in uncorrelated returns compared to traditional stock investments. This aspect of diversification is crucial, especially in uncertain economic times.Lukrom I Fund: A Case StudyTomas McPherson outlines the workings of the Lukrom I Fund, a private money loan fund dedicated to real estate investors. The fund is heralded for its conservative approach, aiming for consistent and reliable monthly income. With a Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio of 52%, the fund provides a layer of safety for investors, safeguarding their interests unless the market experiences severe declines exceeding 65%.Investors in the Lukrom I Fund can expect returns between 7% to 10%, which, while modest, are stable and less prone to market fluctuations. The fund's "first loss commitment," where owners absorb losses up to $5 million, further underscores the alignment of interests between fund managers and investors.Expanding Horizons: Aggressive Lending and Opportunity ZonesBeyond the Lukrom I Fund, Thomas McPherson introduces the concept of more aggressive investment vehicles, such as the soon-to-launch Lukrom Mending Fund. These funds offer higher pay rates but also carry increased risk, suitable for investors with an appetite for bolder endeavors.Moreover, opportunity zone projects are highlighted as significant undertakings for long-term wealth accumulation. Thomas McPherson's involvement in over $100 million worth of these projects showcases the potential of strategic real estate investments. Opportunity zones provide tax benefits and encourage investments in economically distressed communities, aligning financial gain with community development.Building Trust and ConfidenceAnother intriguing discussion in the episode revolves around the psychological aspects of investing. Thomas McPherson recounts his challenging trek—a metaphor for the investment journey—emphasizing the importance of self-belief and validation from supportive networks. His advice of "gathering positive affirmation" and engaging in personal interactions rather than relying solely on digital tools resonates deeply in a world brimming with virtual connections.Educating Investors: A Shared GoalJay Conner's approach to attracting private lenders through education, rather than solicitation, was another focal point. By teaching prospects about private lending and the nuances of self-directed IRAs, investors are empowered with knowledge that shapes their financial journeys.Both Thomas McPherson and Jay Conner stress the importance of relationships based on trust. Personal connections, whether established through investor dinners, unique networking strategies, or shared interests, form the backbone of successful investing. This emphasis on relationship-building is integral to sustaining long-term partnerships.Conclusion: Embrace the New Era of InvestingThe insights shared by Thomas McPherson and Jay Conner are not just about embracing alternative investments but also about reshaping how we think of risk, trust, and community involvement in our

Since the rapid rise in interest rates over the past few years, fixed income has come back into the spotlight. As the Federal Reserve begins cutting interest rates, retirement plan advisors might now be wondering how this shift will impact core bond and core plus bond portfolios.To find out, we speak with Matt Brill, CFA, Head of North America Investment Grade Credit and Senior Portfolio Manager for Invesco Fixed Income. He'll walk us through the basics of core bond and core plus bond portfolios, how the Fed's intended “soft landing” will impact these sectors, and also highlight some of the fixed income opportunities that are most favorable for fixed income investors right now.Key InsightsDue Diligence on Bond Funds: Fiduciaries should consider fees, performance against benchmarks, and the level of risk when assessing core and core plus bond funds. A balance between risk and stability is crucial to avoid bond portfolios behaving more like equities.Impact of Fed Rate Cuts: The Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates is expected to benefit bond funds, making it easier to add bonds to portfolios and improve credit assets' performance, such as high yield and emerging markets.Core vs. Core Plus Bonds: Core bond portfolios consist of highly liquid, lower-risk assets like treasuries, while core plus portfolios include higher-risk options, such as emerging markets and high-yield bonds, offering higher returns but also greater risk.Not a Deposit | Not FDIC Insured | Not Guaranteed by the Bank | May Lose Value | Not Insured by any Federal Government AgencyBefore investing, investors should carefully read the prospectus and carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.

Junk bond values fluctuate more than high quality bonds and can decline significantly over a short time.As with any comparison, investors should be aware of the material differences between active and passive strategies. Unlike passive strategies, active strategies have the ability to react to market changes and the potential to outperform a stated benchmark. Other differences include, but are not limited to, expenses, management style and liquidity.  Investors should consult their financial professional before investing.Invesco Distributors, Inc.

He mastered the game, becoming the number one producer in new business at Xerox in just his second year. Chad was simultaneously studying successful individuals who had achieved tremendous wealth and prosperity. He noticed a common theme amongst them—real estate. With an amazing woman by his side, Chad jumped into real estate full-time, and Titan Capital was born. Starting out in the wholesale/fix&flip space Chad has completed over 400 flips in his career. Apartments were always the end goal and Chad was able to take his active income from flipping and began acquiring commercial real estate.  Titan Capital Group is all about creating and preserving wealth. As well as taking care of our tenants, properties, and investors. We seek direct investment opportunities in appreciating, cash-flowing multifamily real estate. Titan Capital purchase value-add assets below replacement cost, allowing us to create equity upside.

With an average IRR of 28% to investors.

He began investing with the goal of retiring by the time he turned 55. In 2011, he earned his MBA, which changed his investing trajectory. Leveraging the opportunity brought by the Great Recession's foreclosure market, he began rehabbing single-family homes in 2013 to quickly build equity in his portfolio. Four years later, after 22 years as a manufacturing engineer, he experienced a career-disrupting event that pushed him to scale his real estate portfolio even more quickly. In 2018 he closed on a 28-unit apartment property. Three months later he closed on an 8-unit property which allowed him to become financially free from his engineering career, thus achieving his goal by the time he was 45.    Since 2018, Jeremy has continued to diversify his investments by expanding his real estate portfolio into a variety of real estate assets. He is passively investing in out-of-state assets, providing hard money loans, and syndicating deals (including over 1,000 self-storage units, commercial retail spaces, and hotel-to-apartment conversions) as a means to diversify his investments. Jeremy has since ended his engineering career and transitioned to real estate full time.
