EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT INVESTING

From the Investments & Wealth Monitor

The act of investing almost always has a purpose, a goal. However, all too often, investors fail to do what’s necessary to increase the probability of reaching their goals. The causes range from too little investment literacy, disadvantaged (emotionally biased) decision-making, and poor planning. Vast resources are available to help, but numerous hurdles stand in the way. The abundance of resources causes confusion and worry about which to trust. Written resources may not be read, understood, or retained, and trained resources possess the very same decision-making challenges that average investors have. Average investors need a simple, effective guide that can help them understand how their goals, the path toward those goals, and the choices they make along the way help or hinder the probability of success. This article uses variations on a basic graphic to help make sense of investment planning and the choices that invariably arrive over time.

Fiduciaries should not view clients’ specific goals in isolation, as if the goals were in silos. Advisors should consider investment income and capital gains, income taxation, asset security and preservation of purchasing power, philanthropy, and intergenerational wealth transfers in unison to achieve optimal client outcomes. This article explores the utility and potential use of an insurance dedicated fund as an essential yet underutilized investment vehicle to improve portfolios’ overall tax-efficiency.
