Nationalism and Globalization After COVID-19

Article from the Investments & Wealth Monitor

Since the Great Recession, investors have watched the U.S. dollar and U.S. equities outperform their peers in the face of a destabilizing world order. Global economic policy uncertainty surged to the highest levels on record as investors faced a decade of political and geopolitical power struggle, financial turmoil, revolution, war, and trade war, culminating in a global pandemic and recession. Although policy uncertainty has subsided from its 2020 peak—and investors have begun to rotate out of U.S. assets—it is not clear how much further it will subside. Geopolitical risk had pushed policy uncertainty to new highs long before COVID. Will geopolitical risk continue to decline in the aftermath of the Donald Trump presidency? If so, the global economy can recover unimpeded, and the rotation into international equities, commodities, cyclical economies, and value stocks can continue enthusiastically.

THE CHANGING DYNAMICS PF EMERGING MARKETS INVESTING

ACE Academy 2021

April 26-27, Livestream + On-Demand

Speaker: Andy Rothman, Winnie Chwang, John Paul Lech

As the only major economy with positive growth in 2020 according to the IMF, China is leading the way to a post-pandemic recovery. Home to some of the world’s largest equity and bond markets, Greater China now accounts for 53% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and continues to rise in importance within global portfolios, resulting from increasing China A-share inclusion in MSCI indices and vibrant IPO offerings. While global growth is slowing, many investors remain underexposed to the world’s second largest economy. Traditionally, investors have accessed China through global emerging markets or pan-Asian investment strategies; however, investors may want to consider a dedicated China allocation instead.

In this session, Matthews Asia Investment Strategist Andy Rothman and Portfolio Managers Winnie Chwang and John Paul Lech explore the reasons they believe investors should gain exposure to China and share their thoughts on:

• The state of China’s economic recovery and outlook

• U.S.-China relations under the Biden administration

• Investment trends and sectors for growth prospects

• Optimizing your China allocation through a broader emerging markets strategy or an all-China investment approach

IS MODERN PORTFOLIO THEORY STILL MODERN?

From Investments & Wealth Monitor

Modern portfolio theory (MPT) assumes that investors are risk averse, meaning that given two portfolios that offer the same expected return, investors will prefer the less risky portfolio. The implication is that a rational investor will not invest in a portfolio if a second portfolio exists with a more favorable profile of risk versus expected return. MPT has a number of inherent limita-tions. This article addresses some of the limitations of MPT and evaluates alternative techniques for allocating capital.

INCOME CRISIS: FINDING INCOME IN A LOW-YIELD ENVIRONMENT

On-Demand Recording

Since 1990, nearly 20 global events have caused short-term panic and uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility in the stock market and record low interest rates that have resulted in an income crisis as investors search for yield. Private (non-exchange traded) real estate may offer a way to shield investors from short-term stock market volatility and also generate income.

Join Black Creek Group to discuss the resilience of private real estate amidst historical global crises and how it can provide a potentially meaningful source of income for investors in a time of low yield.

As we know, the dominant theme of the year turned out to be a global pandemic that few, if any, had predicted, and which had a seismic impact on markets and economies around the world.

INSURANCE DEDICATED FUNDS: HOW TO BEAT PERFORMANCE DRAG

Read the latest from the Investments & Wealth Monitor

Fiduciary advisors to decamillionaires ($10 million+) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals or households ($30 million+) should have a macro view of clients’ balance sheets and use a multidisciplinary approach to address all the goals of each client simultaneously. 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.

Don't Drop the Baton: Sequence Risk and the Decumulation Dilemma

Article from the Investments & Wealth Monitor

Passing the baton in a relay race is a moment of high drama and consequence. A smooth handoff may propel a slower team to victory; a fumbled one may doom a swifter team’s chances. We think the baton handoff is a useful analogy for understanding the key challenges advisors and clients face in the years before—but especially just after—retirement. Just as in a relay race, in retirement the transition from saving (accumulation) to spending (decumulation) is critical.

The Future of ETFs: Evolved. Transparent. Flexible.

ACE Academy 2021: April 25 - 27
Livestream + On-demand

The first ETFs available to investors were designed to track the performance of indices. While index-based ETFs continue to be popular with investors due to generally low costs, broad diversification, low turnover, and transparent construction, the mechanical construction and rigid trading requirements of index funds reduce their ability to efficiently capture the returns of different asset classes. In contrast, actively managed ETFs aim to provide the same benefits of index-based approaches while also providing additional value through flexible, active implementation.

CAN WE SAVE RETIREMENT?

Chicago Booth Review Article

"On the website of the interest group that represents American retirees, there’s palpable concern about the future. The vast majority of Americans haven’t saved enough in their retirement accounts to cover their expenses after they finish working. Rising health-care costs and increasing life expectancies only aggravate the problem. And the state pension is a hot political issue. Exactly one month after the US Presidential election, Representative Sam Johnson introduced a bill that would address a looming shortfall in Social Security, the massive federal pension program, by cutting benefits..."

Blog

Advisors and their clients can make retirement surprises more manageable by deliberately planning for the unexpected and documenting the strategies. It is up to you as the advisor to get to the root of those fears and help clients find a way to discuss and manage the related financial issues. Sometimes, particularly for clients who are good savers, it is in the form of reassurance that they can afford what they have been longing to do. In other circumstances, it can be breaking the tough news that work may need to continue, either full- or part-time, for longer than initially thought.

WHAT ADVISORS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TECHNOLOGY TRENDS

From Investments & Wealth Research

Cerulli Associates examines the implications of the growing use of technology in advisor practices. To do this, a proprietary scoring system was used to group practices based on their reported use of technology across various categories, adjusting for practices that continually upgrade their technology. This allows Cerulli Associates to determine the impact of technology on advisor productivity and processes, identify key practice attributes of high versus low adopters, and uncover barriers to increasing adoption.

GOALS-BASED WEALTH MANAGEMENT: COACHING THROUGH BIASES—YOURS AND YOUR CLIENTS'

Article from Investments & Wealth Monitor

Trust persists as a pivotal factor in client behavior. Without it, clients can veer off course, lowering the likelihood of achieving their goals. We acknowledge that human behavior is often at odds with achieving financial goals, particularly in volatile markets. In this article, we examine how the co-planning process can enhance the client experience and increase your value in your clients’ eyes. By combining the core tenets of traditional, advisor-driven wealth management with behavioral finance, we discuss how you can deepen relationships and construct investment solutions that are aligned more closely with client goals.

A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO BEHAVIORAL GUIDANCE

Article from Investments & Wealth Monitor

Understanding behavioral finance and biases may enhance an advisor’s knowledge, but it is only a first step in mitigating the impact on an investor’s experience. Advisors who implement effective behavioral coaching through framing and communication techniques that connect with clients’ unique perspectives can help to improve clients’ overall experience. Behavioral coaching best practices, combined with several of the practical tactics offered here, also can help advisors to provide unique value to their clients and help them to differentiate their practices from other advisors. Ultimately, each advisor must determine how to best apply behavioral guidance to effectively narrow the behavior gap and help clients select an acceptable investment approach to earn the returns required to achieve their unique objectives.

MAKING FINANCIAL PLANNING MORE EFFICIENT

On-Demand Recording

Financial planning may be valuable for clients, but it's time-consuming to deliver as a financial advisor, which impacts everything from the price that advisors charge for a financial plan, to the breadth of clients that can be served, and the staffing and technology infrastructure to deliver financial planning advice. In this session, we explore the latest Kitces Research study on "How Financial Advisors Really Do Financial Planning", to understand how long it really takes to create and deliver a financial plan, where time-savings opportunities are (or are not), the role of staff support in scaling financial advice, how technology impacts planning efficiencies, and the interaction between planning expertise, experience, and niche specializations, in making the delivery of financial planning more efficient.

GENERATION Z INSIGHTS: HOW THE NEXT GENERATION OF INVESTORS APPROACHES RETIREMENT, SAVINGS, AND MORE

Older members of Generation Z are either currently entering or recently have entered the workforce, yet very little is known about the financial landscape of the newest generation of professionals. This knowledge gap begets challenges for advisors and other financial professionals in helping young adults and children of current clients as they begin their financial journeys.

DIVERSITY IN ACTION: HOW TO SUSTAIN THE FINANCIAL PLANNING PROFESSION

Brought to you by CFP Board

It is imperative that the financial planning profession work toward expanding and diversifying the ranks of its professionals who can meet the needs of increasingly diverse consumers, especially as consumer demand for financial advice grows amid the pandemic. As racial inequities are being exacerbated by the pandemic and the United States is in the midst of a racial reckoning, we must ask ourselves what we can do as individuals, as
firms, and as a profession to advance a more inclusive and diverse society. Therefore, this publication serves two purposes: to showcase the work being done across the financial planning profession and to deliver scalable insights for readers to replicate.

DRIVING DIVERSITY IN THE BOARDROOM

From RBC Wealth Management

As countries, companies and investors around the world look ahead to the New Year, they do so with a near-universal desire to close the door on 2020 and never look back.

It was a year marked by a global pandemic and a public reckoning with systemic racism that sparked protests and riots in cities across the world. It was a year in which women in the U.S. lost a decade of economic gains because of the pandemic's disproportionate impact on the industries in which they work or own businesses.

WOMEN'S FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE 100 YEARS AFTER THE RIGHT TO VOTE

From RBC Wealth Management

2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, the landmark change to the U.S. Constitution that granted women the right to vote. The amendment was the result of tireless activism by women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott and Susan B. Anthony – names now synonymous with the women’s rights movement.

But the passage of the amendment holds more than just political importance; it was a moment that has rippled outwards over the past 100 years, allowing successive generations of women to obtain more education, fight for higher wages, accumulate greater personal wealth and move closer to equality.

PARITY IS AN UPHILL CLIMB FOR WOMEN AND BIPOC FINANCIAL ADVISORS

From Cerulli Associates

Despite heightened attention on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), women and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) remain vastly underrepresented among financial advisors, according to "The Cerulli Report—U.S. Advisor Metrics 2020." The research finds that women represent 18.1 percent of total financial advisor headcount, which equates to a 2.4-percentage-point increase from 15.7 percent in 2015. Additionally, only 2.9 percent of advisors identify as Black or African American, 5.1 percent as Hispanic or Latino, and 4.3 percent as Asian.
