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.

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.

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!

Are you one of the many that are being held back from early retirement by the exorbitant cost of health insurance? If so, you won't want to miss this episode. This week's retirement headline comes from Carolyn McClanahan at AdvisorPerspectives.com and it outlines the enhanced health insurance subsidies that stem from the American Rescue Plan (ARP).  You'll want to stick around for the listener questions segment if you are a fan of retirement podcasts. I have a treat for you all as I crowdsource the answer to John's question about asset location. Listen in to hear 4 different answers from voices that you may recognize. Outline of This Episode [2:12] Could the American Rescue Plan be the answer to your health care before Medicare question? [5:05] What do you need to do to act? [8:49] An asset location question from John [10:01] Peter Lazaroff's answer [12:02] Roger Whitney's answer [15:45] Taylor Schulte answer [18:44] Chad Smith's answer Could the ARP be the answer to your health care before Medicare question? The number one issue that holds back potential retirees from retiring early is how to find affordable health care before Medicare. If this sounds like you, then the American Rescue Plan may have the solution that you have been waiting for. Carolyn McClanahan's article is geared toward financial advisors, but we'll take a look at it and see if the ARP could help you solve this common problem.  How can the ARP help lower the cost of health insurance? With the ARP, you may now be eligible for enhanced health insurance subsidies. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies have been limited to those with a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) of less than 400% of the poverty level. However, the ARP has lifted these levels with a credit that is based on the cost of the second-cheapest silver plan available in any person's given area. Unlike the previous credit under the ACA, it isn't suddenly wiped out when someone's income jumps over the income limit. Instead, it is phased out gradually. What do you need to do to qualify? To qualify, you must purchase your health insurance via www.healthcare.gov. The open enrollment period lasts through August 15, and the tax credits apply only for the months a person is using a plan from the ACA. Therefore, the sooner you apply, the more savings you will receive. Additionally, anyone who has received even one week of unemployment benefits in 2021 and is without access to affordable insurance through a family member will qualify for a silver plan at no premium cost. They also will qualify for cost-sharing subsidies to help lower their deductible. You can utilize the calculators at www.healthcare.gov or the Kaiser Family Foundation to determine your tax credit amount. States that have opted out of the healthcare marketplace may operate differently, so you'll want to work with a local health insurance agent to help you navigate the process.  The ARP also offers COBRA subsidies If you lose employer-based coverage due to job loss or reduction in hours, the ARP provides COBRA premium subsidies from April 1 to September 30, 2021. After that, you can continue coverage at full cost. It is important for you to weigh whether you should accept this benefit or choose an exchange-based plan. Will take advantage of the benefits offered in the ARP to retire early?

Many people choose to give to charity as a way to give back to their community. If you are overfunded you may decide to give to charity while you are still alive as well as part of your estate after you pass. On this episode of Retirement Answer Man, we’ll continue the estate planning series to discuss different ways that you can give charitably now and as part of your estate. Stick around to hear the Q&A session with my esteemed guest Peter Lazaroff.  What is a charity? U.S. citizens are known for being extremely charitable people. Although many people help others as individuals, a charity is an organization that uses money and human capital to make a greater impact in the world. Different charities have different motivations and missions. When choosing a charity to give to it is important to look at its mission but also to make sure that the organization is a good steward of the money it receives.  What motivates you to give? Each of us has a different motivation to give to charity. Maybe your reasons are personal, or perhaps your life was affected by a certain event. Some people practice charitable giving as a way to model good citizenship to their family. Others are overfunded and use charitable donations to help ease their tax burden. For whatever reason you choose to give to charity it is important to make sure to find organizations that match your values. Why do you choose to give to charity? How you can give to charity in life There are several ways to give to charity now while you are still alive. If you are over 72 you may find that your RMD is more than you need. You can solve this problem and reduce your tax burden by making a qualified charitable distribution. You can give to one organization or spread out your contribution among several charities.  You can donate appreciated assets and avoid capital gains. If you donate all or a portion of appreciated assets directly to a qualified charity you can avoid capital gains. This could help you rebalance your portfolio or reposition your assets.  Use a donor-advised fund (DAF) like your own charity. With a DAF you can donate cash or assets. It’s like a simple version of a private foundation. You can choose one or many different charities to give to. Listen in to hear how you can involve the family in your charitable giving.  Use a trust in tandem with your charitable giving. Charitable remainder trusts or charitable lead trusts are a bit more complicated and require the help of an attorney.  How to give in an estate after you pass  There are basically 2 ways that you can give to charity in your estate once you pass. You can either make a bequest in your will or name the charity as a beneficiary of an asset. The most simple and direct way is by making a bequest in your will. If you chose to name a charity as a beneficiary in an IRA asset then the charity would pay no income tax on that asset. How would you prefer to give to charity?  OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE RETIREMENT ANSWER MAN WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? [3:08] What is charity?

Nobody likes taxes, but tax management in retirement doesn’t have to hurt so bad. During this Retirement Tax Management series, you’ll learn about tools and tricks you can use during retirement to lessen your tax burden and make paying taxes as painless as possible. On this episode, we’ll focus on Social Security and how it affects your tax burden. You’ll also hear retirement tax tips from a variety of other professionals. Make sure to listen to the whole series to learn as much as you can and when you’re done be sure to take the listener survey so that we can get your opinions to refine the show to cover topics that interest you.  Tax management tips from a variety of professionals When looking for good advice it helps to crowdsource to hear a variety of tips. Check out these ideas to help you lessen your tax burden in retirement.  CFA, CFP and writer, Peter Lazaroff, focuses his advice on limiting your RMD liability. He encourages listeners to minimize their RMD liability early on, prior to age 70 ½, by doing partial Roth conversions. It’s important to remember all of those pretax dollars will be taxed eventually. Think about it early on so you won’t get stuck with a huge tax bill at age 70 ½.  Julie is currently maxing out her husband’s 401K to save for retirement, In addition, she is funding an HSA with pre-tax money. She is paying cash for her medical bills now and saving those receipts to withdraw from the HSA in retirement. She is using the HSA like a slush fund. Julie also uses a donor-advised fund for charitable giving. Brandon Renfro Ph.D. encourages you to consider your multi-year tax rate. In retirement, income is multi-dimensional and you can manage when you  Michael Hennessy, CFA, CFP, recommends using a qualified charitable distribution if you are charitably inclined. When having to take your RMD, if you don’t need the full amount of money, give it away. This will help with IRMA as well as help you manage your tax brackets.  Michael Molitoris suggests auto-withholding a portion of your IRA distribution for tax purposes. Make sure to also withhold taxes from your Social Security check. This will help save you from filing quarterly taxes and it will further save you from a huge tax bill.  Ashley Daniels use your tax return as a tool to help you think about tax brackets, IRMAA, and Social Security.  What can you do to help you get ready to plan for your Social Security benefit? As you are sitting here thinking about Social Security and retirement, you might be wondering what you can do to be proactive. There are 2 things you can do right now. First, go to ssa.gov and set up your login to begin to manage your account. Review your earnings history, give it a once over to make sure it is reported correctly. Your benefit is based on the reported earnings history so you’ll want to make sure they are in the right ballpark and act early if something is amiss.  Secondly, check out the retirement estimator calculator. This is a great tool to help you with multi-year tax planning which is imperative in retirement.  Are your social security benefits taxable? Wait! I already paid taxes on my Social Security benefits, why are they taxing me again? This is why we’re learning about retirement tax management now. So there won’t be any surprises later. Your Social Security benefit is taxable but only up to a certain amount. It really depends on your adjusted gross income (AGI) and your nontaxable interest accounts. Make sure you listen to the examples I give to fully understand when and how your Social Security benefits are taxed.  What can you do now to help manage future taxes? In your working years, you don’t really have control over your tax bracket or how much you will owe, but in retirement, you can have a lot of control if you are proactive. Multi-year tax planning is so important and that’s why you are listening to Retirement Answer Man now.  There are several strategies that you can think about using to manage your taxes. Consider these: Delay Social Security while you take distributions from your IRA’s or earn income in pretirement Start converting your IRA’s to Roth IRA’s early Consider multi-year tax strategies to think about your IRA withdrawals Fill your tax bracket Make sure to listen in next week to meet our old friend IRMAA and find out how she could affect your Medicare premiums.  OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE RETIREMENT ANSWER MAN HOT TOPIC SEGMENT [4:00] Tax tips from financial advisors PRACTICAL PLANNING SEGMENT [11:40] How does the tax scheme work in retirement for your Social Security benefit [14:07] Are your Social Security benefits taxable?

Immediately after graduating from college, I began working for an independent advisory firm where I studied to become a Chartered Financial Analyst charter holder (CFA) and Certified Financial Planner (CFP®). I was learning so much on a daily basis that I began taking detailed notes to absorb and retain the information. Over time, bullet points turned to sentences and sentences turned to paragraphs. In 2010, I launched an e-newsletter with the goal of educating people about investing and financial planning. That initial email went out to 34 people. Today, my e-newsletter has over 3,000 subscribers. My writing platform expanded when I began regularly contributing to Forbes in 2016 and The Wall Street Journal in 2017. In 2018, I signed a book deal with Wiley & Sons to write a book about turning career success into financial success. Today I’m the Co-Chief Investment Officer at Plancorp, which manages over $4 billion of client assets as of December 31, 2018. I’m also the Co-Chief Investment Officer of a digital advisor called BrightPlan that emphasizes financial planning and is the first digital advisor to be a certified fiduciary by the Centre For Fiduciary Excellence (CEFEX). What You Will Learn: How getting Nike stock from his grandmother at just 12 years old piqued Peter’s interest in investing and where that led him What Peter does to help people invest and plan for retirement as they juggle busy professional lives Why having a financial advisor is like having a professional lawnmower and the importance of hiring the right people The market’s volatility and how to plan for market corrections (they aren’t as bad as you think!) Variations in investing and markets across the states and strategies for investment during recessions Peter’s forecast for the future in investing and advice for keeping a positive mindset The meaning of wealth to Peter and his “why” for investing, building wealth, and helping others Additional Resources from Peter Lazaroff: Assessment: www.smartmoneyquiz.com Website: www.peterlazaroff.com Company Website: www.plancorp.com Email: info@peterlazaroff.com Additional Resources from Gary Wilson: My Investment Services Bronze Membership: https://edu.myinvestmentservices.com/bronze-level-membership My Investment Services Silver Membership: https://edu.myinvestmentservices.com/silver-level-membership

Today's guest is Peter Lazzaroff, author of Making Money Simple. Now, you may be wondering why I'm talking to a financial expert on this health show – but it makes a lot of sense if you stop and answer one question: Have you ever been stressed about money?   I'm going to guess your answer is YES! Because money is the biggest cause of stress in the United States.   Bills, kids, jobs, the cost of daily living: This is the stress we tend to ignore or push down.  Left uncontrolled, this stress affects your health – your body and your immune system.   Stress is a factor in five out of the six leading causes of death — heart disease, cancer, stroke, lower respiratory disease, and accidents. An estimated 75 percent to 90 percent of all doctor visits are for stress-related issues. Percent of people who regularly experience physical symptoms caused by stress: 77% Percent of people who regularly experience psychological symptoms caused by stress: 73%   Making Money Simple   This isn't really a subject taught in school, much like nutrition, but it has such a huge influence on our lives and is a major stressor. So where do you start?    The most important thing is to start now. Because everything feels overwhelming (i.e. stressful), it's natural for us to put these things off. But the longer you do that, the more stressful things will be in the long run.   There are some simple actions that you can start taking today:   The neural patterns in our brain view saving money the same as giving it away to someone you don't know. So find meaningful goals and prioritize them. Budget in reverse: automate your savings once you know what your financial goals are. If investment seems overwhelming, don't be afraid to hire a professional. They will find things that you might miss, but you will also be buying back time.  However, you need to make sure you're asking an advisor the correction questions! Luckily, Peter has put together a free worksheet that will help you interview a financial advisor.   To learn more, you can pick up your own copy of Making Money Simple or use some of the incredible free resources that Peter offers at https://peterlazaroff.com/resources/ (peterlazaroff.com/resources).   --     Resources: Learn more: https://peterlazaroff.com/ (peterlazaroff.com) Read: Making Money Simple Worksheets: peterlazaroff.com/resources Find a CFP: letsmakeaplan.org/choose-a-cfp-professional/find-a-cfp-professional Broker Check: brokercheck.finra.org Smart Money Quiz: smartmoneyquiz.com Twitter: twitter.com/PeterLazaroff LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/peterlazaroff Bit coin: https://peterlazaroff.com/should-you-invest-in-bitcoin/ Bright Plan: https://www.brightplan.com/peter   Do you want more to empower yourself through healthy living?

From Career to Financial Success. Financial Education for Freedom.   Making #Money Simple and Your #Financial #Success with @PeterLazaroff Tweet This   On This Episode You Will Hear:[00:30] Introduction [10:40] The ultimate efficiency enhancers you have to figure it out. But I’m with you. When I moved to Plancorp, about four and a half years ago, the biggest life-changing move I made was time-blocking. Nobody can touch my morning. My mornings are sacred. I put big blocks on my calendar. I said do not book meetings, and it allows me in, the best thing you can do is just try not to open an email. [20:00] I sit down and I write and I unload. I don’t always know what I’m going to write in advance. So I mentioned when I wrote 5000 words, I said, I wonder if I could turn this into a book. I just kept going and naturally, that part was really natural to me, because I write frequently now. [33:00] You can go get a lot of investment advice online for super cheap, the thing we do is we just make sure people don’t get killed on their taxes and get your tax projections. You do that through eliminating surprises in a simple tax projection as a business owner. You might find that you can accelerate income or expenses, or the salary you have. Stay below that net investment, income tax and all the planning work that goes into that. That’s a big reason to outsource that so you can focus on your business. [40:00] I come from parents of doctors, so maybe I’m biased. Generally, you go to a professional expert, you go to the attorney. Generally, if you go to someone, you should trust that the advice is not in anyone’s interest, but making your financial life better. [51:55] Final Words   Final Words:I think a lot of people just want to make sure they’re doing the right thing. Money can seem complicated but it just doesn’t have to be. Life is very complicated and you’re trying to find ways to simplify it. Don’t let it be something that you put to the side because it seems complicated. There’s a lot of great resources out there, not just my own that are helping simplify it. The internet has done wonderful things, podcasts like this have done wonderful things in making these issues more approachable. So I really encourage you to try to, if there’s something you’ve been putting off, like your finances. That one thing you can probably think of, go ahead and just do that take care of it now because the benefit from it will compound over time.   Influencers Mentioned:Roger Whitney, The Retirement Answer Man Podcast – rogerwhitney.com Book: Making Money Simple – https://amzn.to/2YK9MIM   Resources:smartmoneyquiz.com peterlazaroff.com Twitter: @PeterLazaroff Instagram: @PeterLazaroff linkedin.com/in/peterlazaroff facebook.com/Peters-Money-Tips-2633683283313176/   Watch On YouTube:[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCeKwyBMkfc] Action Steps:Submit an iTunes Review.

Today our expert guest is Peter Lazaroff, chief investment officer at Plancorp which manages over $4 billion for its clients and author of the book Making Money Simple. He's here to share complex issues and make them manageable to just about anyone.   At a young age, Peter knew he had a future in investing. On his 12th birthday, he received a single Nike stock from his grandma. While it seemed disappointing at first, he was impressed by these $1 checks he received in the mail every quarter. He continued to receive stocks for companies he was familiar with each birthday up until age 18.   Peter had a great mentor, who taught him that he had to learn something new every day. He started taking notes at every meeting, and at one meeting he ended up being asked to send his notes to the president of his company, and then eventually he was sending them out to everyone in the company. He used his writing, which naturally led to his book   This was the book that Peter had in him, and he wrote it in the evenings, outlining his philosophy on building wealth, and the system he uses.   How do you make money simple? Try to focus on the endgame: What are your goals? The neural patterns in our brain view saving money the same as giving it away to someone you don't know. Find meaningful goals and prioritize them. Budget in reverse: automate your savings once you know what your financial goals are. If investment seems overwhelming, don't be afraid to hire a professional. They will find things that you might miss, but you will also be buying back time. Make sure you're asking an advisor the correction questions.   Getting your finances under control doesn't have to be difficult or overwhelming. Peter's best piece of advice is to just start. Small actions can make a big difference, so discover your financial goals and work backwards to start achieving them.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway   “The most important thing is to start now. There is something that everybody can do to improve their finances, even if it's small. One of the things we don't respect is the power of compounding. Small habits compound over time, and if you start today, I assure you there is something that can change the rest of your life in your finances.   There is probably something that you're thinking about that you've been putting off. Whatever that thing is, go home and block some time off on your calendar and do it.”   --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

When it comes to investing, historical returns show us that, for the most part, a buy-and-hold strategy will always outperform an active one. This means that, once you have a concrete investing plan in place, you should stick with it through thick and thin — and no matter what the market does on any given day. But that doesn’t mean you can randomly buy stocks and bonds and expect things to go your way. Well, you can, I guess...but you will likely regret it for years to come if you do. In today’s podcast, I interviewed Peter Lazaroff, financial expert and author of Making Money Simple: The Complete Guide to Getting Your Financial House in Order and Keeping It That Way Forever to find out the biggest mistakes even the most well-intentioned investors make with their portfolios over time. His answers may surprise you, so you don’t want to miss out.  Show Notes & Links: www.youstaywealthy.com/43 DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be relied upon as a basis for investment decisions.

IRA, Roth and 401K management can be confusing, that’s why I answer listener questions in the Practical Planning segment of this episode. This is the last episode of the How to Use Your Accounts series. You’ll definitely want to go back and listen to the entire series to help you familiarize yourself with the different types of retirement accounts and how to finally use them in retirement. Next month we’ll dive into how technology improves retirement. But for now, listen to these listener questions about account management in retirement. How to make money simple for someone in your life Peter Lazaroff joins me on the Hot Topic Segment. He recently wrote a fantastic book called Making Money Simple. Since graduation season is coming up, I highly recommend this book for any graduate. Many financial advisors and Wall Street bigwigs want you to think that saving money and building wealth is complicated, but that’s not true. It’s easy to make good choices with money if you can just get out of your own way. Peter teaches how to build a system that works around our human nature to complicate money choices. He shows that finding small sustainable habits that you can automate will lead to financial success. What do you do if you miss taking the RMD? One listener asks what would happen if you forget to take your required minimum distribution (RMD) one year. You really don’t want this to happen! The IRS imposes a 50% penalty on the amount you didn’t take. For instance, if you have an RMD of $20,000 but you only took $10,000 the penalty would be $5,000. The first thing you need to do if you miss your RMD is talk to a tax advisor. Then take the distribution as soon as you figure out your mistake. Do it alone and maintain records. You will need to file the form 5329 for the year in which there was a shortfall either with your tax return or separately. If you missed it multiple years then you need to file a form for each year. The IRS has grated redemptions from this so it is important to keep records and let them know why it happened and how it was remedied. Are there any options for tax-free growth investments if your income is a bit higher than the Roth income eligibility? One listener is looking for options on tax-free growth investments. Since he lives in Minnesota he feels that the 403B isn’t his best option because the state loves to tax retirement accounts. One option is a back door Roth IRA. The way to do this is to make a nondeductible contribution to an IRA and then immediately convert it to a Roth. Saving money in an HSA is a good option as well. When you save in an HSA this money is pretax. You can allow it to accumulate and even invest it. It comes out tax-free as well but it can only be used for medical expenses. However, if you keep a record of your expenses you can submit an expense for reimbursement several years later. One last option to ease the tax burden is to move to a different state in retirement. Basic retirement tax tips Start diversifying your balance sheet between taxable, tax-free, and tax-deferred accounts as early as you can. Dial in what it costs for you to live comfortably. You can better control your taxable income when you understand your costs. Consider delaying taking your pension (if you have one) to do Roth conversions. Consider taking distributions from tax-deferred accounts. Move to a lower tax state. Be charitable. Build your balance sheet in a way to give you options. Maximize how you withdraw money.
