What exactly is a Municipal SMA, and why do high-net-worth investors use them?

Unlike a bond mutual fund where you own shares of a massive pool, a Separately Managed Account (SMA) is a private portfolio where you own the individual bonds directly. This means your portfolio can be customized entirely to your specific tax bracket, state of residence, and liquidity needs.

Warren Buffett famously championed the S&P 500, but does that mean it is the only place you should put your money?

Investing solely in the S&P 500 can leave you exposed to significant risks, especially considering that just 10 companies now make up 40% of the entire index. By branching out into small-cap stocks, value companies, and international markets, investors can often enhance returns and reduce their overall risk.

Is the traditional 60/40 portfolio broken?

When inflation and a slowing economy happen at the same time, the Federal Reserve is put in a very difficult position.

The Fed's difficulty is real, the range of outcomes is wide, and the consequences for fixed income portfolios are material.
