It doesn’t make sense when you can get a higher return for a 1-year bond than a 3-year bond, but that is what’s happening right now. It’s called an ‘inverted yield curve’ and it often signals a recession, which some say is still possible. So, what does that mean for a retiree's portfolio? In this episode of the Retirement Solution, Jon Hicks unpacks the complicated narrative of today’s economy. While the term "recession" has been swirling around, it hasn't fully materialized. Meanwhile, increasing life expectancies mean that locking in rates for three, five, or even ten years could be more beneficial than you think. Uncover ideas to help protect principal and maximize earnings, all while weathering potential economic storms. Understand how the inverted yield curve may benefit your retirement plans and discover why some savvy investors are making the most of this unique financial climate.

A new study from Morningstar looked at the performance of TDF's over the last 15 years and concluded: “If Target Date Funds had never been invented, and Vanguard and Fidelity had placed that money in a balanced fund, investors would be significantly wealthier today.” As you get closer to retirement, the TDF's in your accounts are supposed to move to more conservative investments. Yet, many lost significant amounts in 2022 because of the "bad" bond market. In this episode, Jon argues that Target Date Funds are inefficient, costly, and can bear the burden of things like phantom income taxes. But it’s not all doom and gloom… he also shares ideas on ways you may be able to build a well-orchestrated, simple portfolio that aligns with your risk tolerance and investment goals.

In this episode, Jon discusses the importance of understanding the tax implications of your retirement savings.

As we enter the year’s 4th quarter, it's time to think about Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs). With the age for RMDs shifting to 73, it's crucial to understand how these distributions play a role in your plan. What if there was a better way to handle these withdrawals? We hear from Morningstar’s Christine Benz who says for some, RMDs may actually present opportunities. Jon shares his thoughts on the idea, plus insight on strategies that may help mitigate their impact on your savings. Connect with Jon and his team at J Hagan Capital for insight to help diffuse the "tax time bomb" often associated with RMDs, which may also create substantial savings on future taxes and offer more control over your retirement funds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wall Street Journal reports that many investors age 55 and up are putting most of their nest egg into the stock market, which could backfire if there was a major tumble, especially for older retirees. On this episode of The Retirement Solution, Jon Hicks talks about what you can learn by following the investment models of top university endowments. These endowments have to spend money every year, regardless of what the market does (much like you’ll need to do after you leave the working world), so they have much experience in protecting their downside and generating consistent returns. Jon explains how university endowments utilize alternative investments to help reduce risk and smooth out returns, as they’re often less correlated to the market. He also shares his thoughts on the importance of having a spending plan in retirement to help you determine how much money you need to withdraw from your portfolio each year, so you don't run out of money too early.

Nowadays the choices on everything from home renovations to investment options seem endless, which can trigger “analysis paralysis” for many.

Even the Federal Reserve has acknowledged Taylor Swift’s impact on the economy. Her “Eras Tour” is not only selling out, but there are estimates it could generate $4.6 billion in U.S. consumer spending when factoring in things like travel, hotels, tickets, merchandise, etc. That is larger than the Gross Domestic Product of 35 countries! Only 33, Taylor Swift is showing no signs of slowing down, and she’s not alone. The reasons for most who plan to continue working, however, are unfortunately different from Swift’s… Many Americans plan to work longer because they don’t think they’re financially ready for retirement. On this episode of The Retirement Solution, financial advisor Jon Hicks shares the 4 worries he commonly sees his clients battle and how he and his team help to alleviate those concerns.

The Wall Street Journal reports that many investors age 55 and up are putting most of their nest egg into the stock market, which could backfire if there’s a major tumble… The reasons for the stock-heavy portfolios are the need to “catch up” and the feeling that there are no other options.

The S&P is up 20% from its October low, so technically we are in a new bull market.

Did you get a tax refund this year or did you owe? Many people believe that if you get a refund, you did it right, and if you pay, you did it wrong. On this episode of The Retirement Solution, Financial Advisor Jon Hicks explains why this may be the wrong way to think about it. Getting a refund is not necessarily an indication that you did everything right as you may have overpaid on your taxes throughout the year. On the other hand, if you end up owing money when you file your return, it doesn't necessarily mean you did anything wrong either. It simply means that you didn't pay enough taxes throughout the year to cover your liability. The dynamic with taxes in retirement can be different as well. Depending on your retirement income sources and tax planning strategies, you may end up owing taxes or receiving a refund. Jon highlights 3 options you may have to increase your tax efficiency and how he works to educate his clients on the benefits of a “long game” tax plan, particularly for their retirement savings and legacy plan. Do you have a plan for not just today’s tax rate, but the taxes over the course of your retirement and within your wealth transfer plan? Jon Hicks and his team at J Hagan Capital can help you find options that you may have for greater tax efficiency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
