128. What To Do After A Divorce

When your relationship is over, it’s hard to get used to solo life. But there is life after divorce – and hope for happiness 

A divorce can be a tumultuous time of financial and emotional strain. Feelings are hurt, financial support and security are changing, and a complete lifestyle alteration occurs during and after divorce.

Tony and Jamie discuss how we support clients when they go through this complex time and ways to ensure their security. 

127. Passive Vs. Active Investing

• Active investing requires a hands-on approach, typically by a portfolio manager or other so-called active participant.
• Passive investing involves less buying and selling and often results in investors buying index funds or other mutual funds.
• Although both styles of investing are beneficial, passive investments have garnered more investment flows than active investments.
• Historically, passive investments have earned more money than active investments.
• Active investing has become more popular than it has in several years, particularly during market upheavals.

Jamie and Tony go through both styles and their take on them and what is best for clients.

Nova gave a speech to some friends of Kofkin Bond and we thought it was so powerful that we should have the story told to our listeners. We hope you enjoy the episode from Nova about her achievements and the hurdles she was able to overcome to inspire millions and to set up her legacy.
