It’s A Great Time To Be An Investor, Does Your Portfolio Deserve A Bodyguard?

Rusty Vanneman, formerly CIO at Orion Wealth Management, is my guest on today’s Bangers Only podcast.

The markets couldn’t feel better, but now is the time to identify and act on upgrades to your portfolio.

  • Certain asset classes are outperforming US equities and are 30-50% on sale.

  • The bond market (and money market funds) are paying you to diversify and reduce risk.

  • Is private equity and private debt worth the risk?

  • Crypto and real assets are good enough for central banks. Have they made their way into your portfolio?

  • Remember where you were in 2015? You’re ten years older and have way more money. Does your portfolio deserve a bodyguard?
