Podcasts about retirement funds

For decades, private equity has been the darling of pension funds, university endowments, and sovereign wealth funds, promising high returns and low volatility. Now, President Donald Trump has made it possible for everyday investors to get in on the magic with his executive order, "Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets for 401(k) Investors.” The order relieves regulatory burdens that limit the access of defined contribution plans, like 401(k)s, to alternative assets such as private equity (but also cryptocurrency and real estate). The hope is to give American workers access to greater choice, diversification, and potential growth towards a comfortable retirement.But Trump's order comes just as longstanding questions about private equity's promise of high returns and low risk are coming to the fore. Has the distribution of returns slowed to a trickle? What does data actually say about private equity's performance, and where is the industry headed? There is also a long standing debate whether private equity is good for society, independent of financial returns.Is private equity actually a ponzi scheme that now threatens the retirements of millions of American workers? To make sense of it all, Luigi and Bethany are joined by Dan Rasmussen, an experienced investor and author who began his career in private equity but has emerged as one of the most prescient critics of the industry. Together, the three of them distill what the state of the industry means for the future welfare of investors, workers, and the American economy as a whole.Bonus: Check out ProMarket's recent series on the impact of private equity in the health care industry.

In this month's Smart Planning segment, a financial advisor discusses how to transfer retirement funds penalty-free and how to adopt a “work optional” mindset.  How can you check in on your financial progress halfway through the year? What steps do you need to follow to move your Roth IRA from a robo-advisor to a self-directed platform without paying taxes? Before welcoming listener Dan to the show to answer his financial questions, hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola break down how you can do a mid-year money check-in, including how to audit your budget, spot and cancel unused subscriptions, increase retirement contributions, and curb emotional spending to stay on track for year-end goals. They offer a detailed checklist to assess credit, spending habits, and financial planning priorities for the remainder of the year. Then, Elizabeth welcomes Taylor Schulte, a CFP® and CEO of Define Financial, to dive into Dan's questions, starting with how to reallocate investments when transferring a Roth IRA between platforms. They discuss avoiding taxes using the 60-day rollover rule, how to minimize market exposure during the transition, and why custodians like Fidelity or Schwab may be better suited than Robinhood in certain situations. They also help Dan evaluate whether he's saving enough for a “work-optional” retirement, offer guidance on budgeting for life now vs. later, and explain what to consider when deciding on insurance coverage like disability or term life.

Al Gordon explores the idea of "imploding" your 401(k). He presents a scenario in which someone has $244,000 in their 401(k), which could be used for real estate investments.

Sometimes an organization's backstory speaks volumes, which is definitely true of The Women's Foundation of the South (WFS). It was co-created into existence by a cohort of women, all accomplished grant makers of color who were compelled to build what the philanthropic sector lacked, a public foundation dedicated to the advancement of women and girls of color in the American south. They started to dream together in 2019 and launched in 2021 with Carmen James Randolph, its exceptional founder, at the helm. In this episode of Power Station, Carmen shares what it takes to start a foundation without major institutional donors, forging ahead through the Covid 19 pandemic and the devastation of Hurricane Ida, both of which exacerbated profound inequities in communities of color. These challenges shaped WFC's approach: investing in nonprofits and small businesses that serve those who are most vulnerable. She has garnered significant philanthropic support and is lifting up a powerful network of women who lead, without adequate recognition or resources, nonprofits in regions struggling with shattering maternal and infant mortality rates. As Carmen says, the WFC is exercising a vital tool of philanthropy, women's voice and leadership.

Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[d]Episode Links:Massachusetts GOP demands information on state's $1 billion in 'secret' migrant spending: 'Veil of secrecy'; Republicans allege state's Democrat supermajority has led to lack of transparencyNvidia has become world's ‘most important stock,' adding pressure to upcoming earnings reportIf you don't own Nvidia stock, you are missing a revolution, tech investor saysTelegram Founder's Arrest Signals Dangerous Times for Online Free SpeechAI Vs Human Leadership: Debate Over Plan To Govern Cheyenne Heats UpAlan's Soaps alansartisansoaps.comUse coupon code ‘TODD' to save an additional 10% off the bundle price.Bioptimizershttps://magbreakthrough.com/toddfreeGet your 30-capsule bottle of Magnesium Breakthrough for FREE!  No promo code needed.

In the latest episode of The Capitalist Investor, hosts Derek, Luke, and Tony discuss a variety of crucial topics that resonate with both seasoned investors and newcomers to the financial world. Let's break down the five hot topics that dominated this episode:1. Taking Unnecessary RisksTony brings to light the often-overlooked issue of unnecessary risk-taking in investment portfolios. He recounts a story of a client whose portfolio consisted of 20% Nvidia stocks. The advisor insisted on "letting it ride," despite the client's concerns about concentration risk. The discussion underscores the importance of understanding one's portfolio and actively managing risk to avoid potential pitfalls.2. Tax Implications in Investment DecisionsOne of the salient points discussed is the role of taxes in investment decisions. Derek emphasizes that avoiding selling stocks solely to evade capital gains taxes is not a sound strategy. Notably, taxes are a "penalty of success," and managing one's portfolio should be a higher priority than dodging tax bills. Luke adds that tax regulations might change, making it wiser to manage investments proactively rather than reactively.3. Balancing Risk Based on Age and Financial GoalsLuke dives into the nuanced approach to risk management, tailored to the investor's age and financial goals. Younger individuals in their 20s and 30s have the luxury of time to recover from financial setbacks, making it more feasible to take on higher risks. Conversely, those nearing retirement should focus on preserving their capital, opting for safer investment strategies. This age-based strategy exemplifies a balanced approach to risk and reward.4. Diversification and Risk Mitigation StrategiesIn discussing ways to manage investment risk, Luke and Tony touch on practical strategies like writing covered calls or swapping individual stocks for ETFs. Whether it's selling Nvidia stocks and investing in a semiconductor ETF for broader exposure or trimming holdings to maintain an appropriate risk level, diversification is key. Tony elaborates on how their actively managed portfolios consistently trim holdings in volatile stocks like Nvidia to keep risk in check.5. Football and Financial Planning AnalogiesTowards the end of the episode, the hosts make an interesting pivot to football analogies to explain financial planning. Tony likens managing investments to football teams grinding down the clock to win a game. Just as a football team adjusts its strategy based on the game situation, investors should manage their portfolios dynamically to align with their financial goals. The engaging discussion even rolls into NFL talk, touching on team performances and player speculation, adding a refreshing and relatable layer to the financial discourse.This episode of The Capitalist Investor offers a blend of serious financial advice and light-hearted sports banter, making complex topics accessible and engaging. From understanding unnecessary risks and tax implications to age-based risk balancing and diversification strategies, the hosts provide a comprehensive guide to prudent financial management. Tune in to stay informed and make savvy investment decisions.

Firefighters in Dolton, Illinois, are raising serious concerns about the management of their retirement funds and health care benefits. According to the International Association of Firefighters Local 3766, deductions for retirement plans intended to go to Nationwide have not been properly allocated for over six months. Additionally, premiums for their health insurance, paid by the village, have reportedly not been received, leading to denied claims. These issues arise amid a lack of contract negotiations for nearly five years. Village officials claim they are working to resolve these problems, but union members express frustration over the lack of transparency and fear retaliation for speaking out. This situation highlights significant mismanagement and financial misallocation concerns within the village administration, impacting the firefighters' financial security and well-being. #FirefighterRights #GovernmentAccountability #UnionStrong --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message
