In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Greg Menefee. When he was growing up, Greg's perception was that his family was just as well-off as any other. Greg was an avid skier and one year his dad promised him a new pair of $300 skis for the upcoming season. As that season drew closer, the skis never materialized. Greg ultimately mustered the courage to ask his mom about them. It was in that moment that his childhood perceptions crumbled, and Greg learned that his family didn't have $300 to spare for the skis. As Greg tells us, the skis didn't really matter to him, but the situation created a money conflict between his mother and father that became a recurring theme. This shaped Greg's approach to money, making him more risk-averse and changing how he discusses financial matters. Greg Menefee serves as the Senior Vice President of Relationship Management at Orion Advisor Tech. In this role, Greg is the champion of the phrase “Elevate Everything” with his team of consultants who are dedicated to helping advisors maximize their Orion experience and accelerate their firm's growth goals and potential. A self-proclaimed CX fanatic, Greg brings over two decades of expertise in helping advisors think differently about creating incredible client experiences for their clients.  Greg began his career in 1998 with Fidelity Investments, and most recently built and led the Institutional Consulting teams at TD Ameritrade Institutional. When not working with advisors or reading up on the latest books about client experience, you can find Greg and his wife, Summer on mountain bikes with their kids in the Mountain Biking Capital of the world, Bentonville, AR.

Episode Notes At the Technology Tools for Today conference, guest host Ryan W. Neal sits down with Dani Fava, head of strategic development at Envestnet. After discussing the most interesting meals they had in Denton, Texas, Fava talks about the most exciting startups she met with in the conference's exhibit hall, the latest innovations coming out of Envestnet, pro bono financial planning and her vision for embedding financial wellness and advice into consumer apps. Guest Bio: As head of strategic development at Envestnet, Dani Fava accelerates the firm's strategic vision to help advisers make financial wellness a reality for more people. Fava draws on more than 15 years of wealth management and technology experience, and most recently served as director of institutional innovation at TD Ameritrade Institutional. As an independent financial advisor, you need a custodian who truly understands your hopes, your dreams, and your headaches. For the last three decades, Schwab Advisor Services has been there for thousands of advisors just like you who want to serve their clients' best interests – whether they're just starting out or have more complex needs. Together, we can help you build the future you want for your practice with Schwab's expert guidance, technology platform, and hands-on support.

A little over six years ago, I chose TD Ameritrade as my broker after considerable research into TD, Charles Schwab, and Fidelity. So when Charles Schwab announced their purchase of TD three years ago, I started preparing. Finally, the merger is upon us! And on this episode, I'm helping TD Ameritrade clients everywhere get ready for the move. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Understanding the merger timeline [1:38] What you need to do before the merger occurs [3:27] Welcome to Schwab TD Ameritrade clients have a quickly approaching decision to make: Stay where they're at and become Schwab, or find another broker. Personally, I'm recommending my clients stick with Schwab. I've been using and testing their platform for the last year, and there really isn't much difference between them and the soon-to-be-defunct TD Ameritrade. If you want to continue doing business with Schwab, there's nothing you have to do to make the change. This is what's known as a negative consent transaction. Unless you decide not to go through with the transfer, all of your assets and brokerage accounts currently held with TD Ameritrade Institutional will automatically move over to Schwab. That being said, there are a few dates those going through the merger should be aware of. On Friday, September 1st at 8:30pm Eastern, access to TD's Advisor Client will cease, and all accounts on TD Ameritrade will be transitioned to Schwab's platform over the next few days. By Tuesday, September 5th you will be able to access the Schwab Alliance Client Portal and manage your accounts directly through Schwab. The only thing you need to do as a newly minted Schwab client is create a profile through their client portal. Listen to this episode for more on the merger!

Many listeners have submitted questions for the podcast. On this week's episode, I'm going to answer a few! We'll dive into the logistics of collecting Social Security survivor benefits and the best ways to maximize your benefits in the event of a spouse's passing. I'll also discuss how to change financial advisors without selling funds and the benefits of tax-loss harvesting.     You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Collecting Social Security survivor benefits [1:07] Switching to a different financial planner without having to sell funds [4:42] More on tax-loss harvesting and Roth conversions [6:54]  Navigating the unexpected The unexpected passing of a spouse is heartbreaking. If you haven't reached full retirement age yet, knowing what to do with your Social Security benefits can ease the financial burden during such a difficult time. First, it's important to know that any benefits (whether you're collecting them or not) will receive cost of living adjustments. Next year, that will be an adjustment of 8.7%. There may be an urge to immediately start collecting your own Social Security benefits to account for the loss of income. This is definitely an option, but if you collect your benefits early, there's a limit to how much you can earn before your full retirement age. If you wait until full retirement age to collect your own benefit, you'll receive an additional 8% increase per year for doing so. Another option would be to collect your late spouse's Social Security survivor benefit. Let's just say your Social Security survivor benefit was $1,500 a month, and you were going to earn under $56,520 that year. You could receive the whole benefit without any reduction. Even if you haven't reached full retirement age! This is because of a special provision in place for Social Security survivor benefits. Changing it up It's been a trying year for the stock and bond market. Many investors are underwhelmed with the results. However, if you feel like your financial advisor could have handled 2022 better, you may be in the market for a new one. Therefore you may be asking yourself (like one of our listeners), “Can I switch to a different financial planner without having to sell the funds and take a big loss?” The answer is YES! You can make the change without having to sell your funds. Most financial planners use a custodian like TD Ameritrade Institutional, Fidelity, Charles Schwab, or other broker-dealers. Most firms will allow you to change companies without selling your funds because they use the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS) to make those transfers. Once you have an idea about who you'd like to hire as your new financial planner, you need to check with them to find out where they plan to hold your money. Give them your account statement and show them the funds that you have. You shouldn't have any issues if it's a traditional mutual fund. This may also be a good time to assess what you're investing in. You want to look at the performance of your funds versus the different benchmarks. If it's a large-cap fund, you want to compare how it's doing against other large-cap funds. Same thing for smaller cap funds. You also want to understand the ongoing costs to manage active funds and evaluate if the investment is worth it.

With the Federal Reserve aggressively raising interest rates, it's a great time to consider your options for short-term investments. Whether you have liquid cash or you're a conservative investor, this episode is for you! Join me as I dive into the seven best short-term investments you can make to grow your money and save for retirement. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Exploring money market accounts for short-term investing [2:22] The benefits of a one-year CD [6:03] What about short-term bond funds? [7:34] Taking advantage of Treasury bonds [10:09] Is a fixed annuity right for you? [11:41] The best short-term investment you can make [13:00] Staying liquid Online banking has been a commonplace practice for many years. But did you know you can use online banks to find a good money market rate? Websites like Bankrate and NerdWallet (linked below) can help you find a competitive rate with several online banking institutions. However, not all online banks are created equal. Some may have stipulations that keep your money tied up for a fixed period, or there are specific limitations about transferring money in and out. That's why it's a good idea to know your options and read reviews about the online banks you're considering using for a money market account. Money market accounts are also the most liquid short-term investment option, so it's worth exploring if that is important to you. Another money market option for short-term investing is a mutual fund account. Rather than going through a bank or credit union, these money market accounts are obtained through a mutual fund company like TD Ameritrade Institutional, Charles Schwab, and Fidelity. This is a great investment option if you want your stocks, bonds, and mutual funds all in the same place.  Breaking down bonds and annuities  If liquidity is not a priority in your investment portfolio at this time, you may want to consider U.S. Treasury bonds. Typically, a two-year Treasury bond yields less than a ten-year one. Yet right now, the two-year bonds are paying almost 4% interest compared to the ten-year rate of 3.5%. The downside to this investment option is that anytime you sell a bond, the price could go down if interest rates have gone up. However, if you're willing to hold this bond for two years, the worst-case scenario is getting back nearly 4% interest. Treasury bonds are also not subject to state income tax which is another benefit of this strategy. If you're willing to have even less liquidity with a little bit more yield, you could consider fixed annuities as a good short-term investment. A fixed annuity is an investment made with an insurance company where they invest your money in something else and pay you a higher interest rate because you're giving up some liquidity. For instance, if you want to take your money out early from a three-year fixed annuity, there will most likely be penalties. You may not even be able to make a withdrawal in the first year. Though interest rates for annuities are around 4.4%, they are subject to state and federal income tax, further decreasing your possible yield. Weigh these pros and cons before choosing annuities as a short-term investment. Listen to this episode for more short-term investment options to grow your money!

Kate Healy has, she says, always been interested in money: how people use it, why some people squander it, why others are obsessed with it and how some use a little to produce a lot. Money still carries a stigma, a taboo around it that she would love to help break down, and to encourage more women to take responsibility for their finances, to understand money and what they can do with it, and to promote a career in finance as being a worthwhile and interesting one.  Kate's day job is as the Managing Director, Generation Next, focused on advocacy for sustainability issues facing the RIA industry. Healy leads TD Ameritrade Institutional’s NextGen and Women's Leadership Initiatives, which support the future of the profession through programs designed to raise visibility, provide support and resources to guide professional development of the next generation of advisors. She is a member of the company’s Diversity & Inclusion committee. In 2016, Investment Advisor magazine named Healy as one of the industry’s 25 most influential people. She is passionate about diversity, and also recognises the need to recruit millennials into the sector. If you've never thought about a career in the financial services industry, this is a good introduction - there are many upsides that aren't often talked about!  Where to find Kate: - Website: https://www.tdainstitutional.com/why-ria/people.html  - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kateehealy/     - Twitter: https://twitter.com/KateHealy_TDA  Follow us for more: - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smashingtheceiling/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/smashingceiling - Facebook: www.facebook.com/smashingtheceiling  - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-mellor-171550150/
