The Future of Advice

The Future of Advice

People often believe that every firm offers personalized financial planning and investment management tailored to the individual. 

But actually that is wrong. Firms [almost] all follow the same 1950’s investment process that leads to an approach of underperformance, complication and undue stress on the client all in the name of mass-produced plans that cater to the advisor and not the client. 

There are three major flaws we see across the entire financial advising / money management industry and we will show you how we can fix the flawed approach.

Flaw #1—Risk Scores

The Outdated Metric Hurting Retirements

The reliance on risk scores as a singular determinant of retirement strategy fails to account for the multifaceted nature of an individual's financial situation. These reductive tools oversimplify complex variables, leading to suboptimal decision-making. This reductionist approach risks creating misaligned investment strategies that fail to adapt to evolving market conditions or personal circumstances. A more nuanced, data-driven strategy is necessary to optimize investment outcomes and protect long-term financial security in retirement.

Flaw #2—Model Portfolios

Why Advisors Tell You to Wear the Same Outfit All Year, Every Year Regardless of Weather

Financial Advisors often treat retirement portfolios like a one-size-fits-all solution? Model portfolios ignore critical market changes, leaving people’s investments vulnerable in bear markets. Our service customizes your portfolio for market seasons—maximizing growth in bull markets while protecting your wealth in bear markets. Don’t let outdated strategies dictate your future. Invest with a service designed for real-life conditions.

Flaw #3—Loss Management

Riding out a bear market is flawed thinking

The conventional approach of passively 'riding out' bear markets in retirement portfolios presents significant risk, particularly given the extended recovery periods often required post-crash. Retirees want to mitigate downside exposure during bear markets, while optimizing growth during bull markets. A model that can empirically and rigorously approach the markets is more likely to be better than the conventional static, calendar-based rebalancing techniques, which might leave retirees with less choices.

This isn't new.

This isn't new.

Scholars, Researchers and PhDs agree that the price of the stock market goes up in long secular bull markets and falls in shorter but painful bear markets. You know this. I know this. Advisors know this. Everyone knows this. And yet almost all investment advisors ignore it. 

Bull Markets happen 84% of the time. And bear markets 16% of the time. The entire financial advising industry knows investors are willing to take on more risk during stable, long term bull markets and little to no risk during bear markets. Again, every advisor knows this. And yet the entire industry ignores it.

Investment portfolios should behave differently during bull markets when the price is stable and consistently trending higher than they do during bear markets, when markets are erratic and consistently falling. And not just own a static one-size-fits-all approach based on a reductive number and an outdated model portfolio. 

Wealth management strategies fail for two reasons - (1) Advisors manufacture underperformance during those long, stable bull markets and (2) Advisors implement approaches that are good for their business model while deliberately choosing to ride out devastating bear markets all in the name of risk scores and model portfolios. 

There is a better way. When you are ready to add 10 good years, we can help you have a better retirement.
