A lot of business owners feel that they don't have time for this type of analysis. We understand this challenge as business owners ourselves but what we've realized in many situations is that it typically doesn't require the commitment you'd expect and the benefit largely outweighs the time investment. Many of the business owners we work with are already in a strong financial position, if it aint broke don't fix it mentality is common, however just because it isn't broken doesn't mean that there aren't better options to consider. Options that can not only keep more money in your pocket but also give you more confidence.
A lot of our clients transfer from advisors who simply focus on stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Over the last 2 years that strategy has provided less than desirable returns resulting in people feeling trapped in their current strategy because they don't know what else is available. Unlike other large firms, our clients depend on our unique flexibility to be able to provide diversification outside of the stock market and find investments with less correlation to the market.
If you're like most retirees with a 60/40 portfolio, bonds haven't done their job in providing the protection you've come to expect. We've spent time evaluating alternative investments to hedge against the interest rate and inflation risks the economy and bonds have faced over the last 2 years.
