Will you bank in the future the way you did in the past? What role will emerging financial systems like crypto and FinTech have in the future? Senior Brookings Fellow Eswar Prasad joins us today to talk about the future of money. He will share his opinions along with a look back at how we’ve gotten to the point we are at today.
During our headline, it looks like some managers may be cheating on their target date fund management scheme. We’ll dive in to asset allocation and target portfolios today. The popular 60/40 portfolio used by many investors has some investors questioning if the returns are enough to reach their goals. We talk about ways some fund managers are trying to boost those returns. And we’ll throw out the Haven Life line to Justin who is working towards his CFP® certification and wants Joe and OG’s advice when job searching. Doug will also share some of his trivia.
Enjoy!
