Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Peter Lazaroff, CFA, CFP®. Peter joins me to examine whether the much-touted tax benefits of opportunity zones (OZs) justify the risks required, or if investors are letting the “tax tail” wag the investment dog. We cover how OZs work, what the new One BBB Act means for the program's future, and practical ways optometric practice owners can decide whether rolling a large capital gain into an OZ—or into something else—really serves their overall financial plan.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, be sure to subscribe to our monthly “planning life on purpose” newsletter that's filled with tips and ideas to help you plan your best life, on purpose. You can also set up a Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we serve in the capacity of a personal and professional CFO: helping OD practice owners around the country reduce their tax bill, proactively manage cash flow, and make prudent investment decisions both in and out of their practice to ultimately help them live their best life on purpose.

Jesse welcomes back Peter Lazaroff to discuss the psychology and strategy of investing during uncertain times. They explore how media narratives and recession fears can distort investor behavior, emphasizing the importance of focusing on business earnings rather than sensational headlines. Peter shares why he separates his portfolio thinking from his balance sheet management, especially during potential economic downturns, and offers practical guidance for both pre-retirees and younger investors. The conversation also touches on international diversification, sequence of returns risk, and why consistency in strategy beats chasing performance. Plus, Peter gives an update on his podcast and his upcoming book The Perfect Portfolio. Key Takeaways: • Media headlines and algorithm-driven news feeds often amplify fear, leading investors away from rational, long-term thinking. • Real-world economic pain doesn't always correlate with poor stock performance, and vice versa. A stock market decline doesn't necessarily signal a broader economic recession. • Building a cash buffer ahead of retirement helps mitigate sequence of returns risk. • Global diversification may not always boost returns, but it smooths out the ride, improving compound returns. • A longer-term view of markets and recessions builds resilience and patience. • Planning for a range of outcomes is more effective than trying to call the next market move.

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Peter Lazaroff, CFA, CFP®, Chief Investment Officer at Plancorp, host of The Long Term Investor podcast, and the author of the book Making Money Simple.   Peter joins me on the show to talk about an investment approach that has been around for a long time but is starting to become more prevalent for investors: direct indexing. We talk about what direct indexing is through an abridged story on the evolution of investment vehicles for investors, some of the considerations and tradeoffs, how a direct indexing approach can minimize a practice owner's tax bill in the year that they sell their practice, and why an index investor should be, at the very least, doing their own due diligence on a direct indexing advisory firm & manager to complement their already-sound investment philosophy.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

The conversation touches on the balance between risk and reward in investments, with Peter drawing analogies to horse racing to illustrate the unpredictability of the markets. He also reflects on the significance of finding happiness through experiences rather than merely accumulating wealth. C-Roc and Peter explore the unique challenges faced by entrepreneurs, emphasizing the importance of investing in oneself and one's business. Peter highlights that while financial advisors can help grow wealth and minimize taxes, the real key to creating substantial wealth often lies in having ownership of a successful venture.

In this episode, Cameron Howe is joined by Peter Lazaroff, CIO of Plancorp and Brightplan, overseeing over $6 billion in assets under management for over 1,500 clients nationwide. Peter is also the author of the book "Making Money Simple," with a foreword by Sam Altman.   Portfolio Construction Philosophy [00:59]   There is no perfect one-size-fits-all portfolio. The perfect portfolio is the one an individual can stick with through market ups and downs. Plancorp's approach starts with an investment philosophy rooted in peer-reviewed academic research to avoid deviating from the established portfolio. The starting point is the total market portfolio, as that's the likely benchmark for most investors. Factors like liquidity needs, employment status (human capital), and risk tolerance inform deviations from the total market portfolio. Home country bias is common, with investors tending to overweight domestic holdings. Quantitative vs. Fundamental Approach [10:16]   Plancorp takes a more quantitative approach, focusing on factors with robust research backing and proven out-of-sample data across asset classes. They primarily use three or four factors like value, profitability, and in some cases, size and momentum. The goal is to implement robust factors while avoiding the "bad side effects" of implementing unsuccessful factors from data mining. Reducing Emotional Biases [28:45]   Clients, advisors, and portfolio managers all have inherent biases that must be accounted for. Techniques like red team/blue team debates, blind voting on portfolio metrics, and keeping investment committees small help reduce bias. Humility and viewing decisions through the lens of process rather than just outcomes is crucial. Advisors should be aware of biases introduced by marketing from asset managers. Key Takeaways   Don't overcomplicate investing; the simplest solutions are often best. Embrace an evidence-based, hypothesis-testing approach to portfolio decisions. Reducing behavioral biases requires processes that foster diverse perspectives and honest self-evaluation. An advisor's role is to help clients stick to their long-term investment plan and avoid costly mistakes driven by emotion.

We discuss the importance of not interrupting compounding, the dangers of lifestyle creep, why buying a starter home often isn't a good idea and the importance of aligning your spending with your values, as well as many other topics.

In this episode, we have the Chief Investment Officer of Plancorp, Peter Lazaroff on to talk about: -How to invest during a volatile market -How to manage emotions when they are pushing us to do the opposite of what we know we should do -Things to remember during a volatile market -Why one mistake can derail your financial progress

What financial mistakes could you have avoided? Most of us learned personal finance the hard way, by stumbling through life without training and learning from our mistakes. Unfortunately, most schools don't have a personal finance class that teaches students about budgeting, saving, or what the word "taxes" actually means. Peter Lazaroff is chief investment officer at Plancorp and a CFP® who shares our passion for personal financial literacy. He's here today (don't tell OG, he might get jealous) to share his first experiences with money AND how you can make money topics more simple for yourself and those around you. He also shares some of the golden personal finance basics we should all familiarize ourselves with, and dishes out resources to help us all further our own financial education.During our headline segment, we dive into ETFs. A seasoned firm is entering the game (better late than never!) of ETFs years after their competitors. We talk about active vs passive funds and the future of the ETF industry. We're also answering Dave's question about reward credit cards. Are they really as good as they sound? And of course, Doug will share his amazing trivia.Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.
