As the year winds down, it's natural to start looking ahead—and your finances deserve just as much attention as your holiday plans. With tax season around the corner, making a few smart moves now can mean valuable savings and smoother planning in the year to come.

In this episode of Capital Conversations, Accredited Investment Fiduciary® John Biedenstein and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional Colin Day cover three practical strategies that could help set you up for financial success before the year closes out: optimizing required minimum distributions, making the most of health savings accounts, and understanding Roth conversions.

Correction: In this episode, we mention that Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions need to be made by December 31 to count for the current tax year. However, you actually have until the tax filing deadline (typically April 15) to make contributions for the previous year. If you’re adding to your HSA through payroll, please work with your HSA provider to apply contributions to a prior year.

As the saying goes, you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket. You shouldn’t put all of your investments in one place either. Diversification involves spreading your investments across various assets to minimize risk and maximize potential returns. It's a fundamental strategy that can help safeguard any portfolio against market volatility.

In this episode of Capital Conversations, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional Colin Day and portfolio manager Ryan Potts discuss the principles of diversification, its benefits, and explore practical ways to implement it in your investment strategy.

The concept of tax diversification might not be the first topic that springs to mind when planning for retirement, but it can have a profound impact on your ability to live out your golden years as you want. While Uncle Sam will (almost) always get a portion of your hard-earned and wisely-invested money, understanding how and when different types of accounts are taxed can help you keep more money for yourself, whether that means going on more vacations, passing more on to the next generation, or opting for the Macallan 30 Year instead of the 18.

In this episode of Capital Conversations, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional Colin Day and portfolio manager Ryan Potts discuss how to best optimize your tax diversification, why you need to do it, the "One Bad Year Rule," and the importance of maintaining flexibility in your retirement funds.
