  • The Financial Impacts of Divorce and How You Can Prepare

    As an asset manager, outsiders may believe Evergreen's primary duty is to invest money. What we know from nearly 40 years in the business, is that’s only half the job. A trusted advisor's greatest value is to guide clients through times of stress and uncertainty. This series focuses on three very common scenarios we see, where clients lean on their team at Evergreen to manage logistics and avoid costly errors instead of attempting it themselves. These three critical areas we will cover are divorce, death, and windfalls (liquidity events).

    Today's episode starts with divorce. Evergreen's Senior Financial Planner, Katie Vercio, CFP®, CDFA®, interviews Family Law attorney, Blake Hilty, on how those going through a separation can be proactive and prepared to come out as unscathed as possible. In addition to being a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, Katie is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst. She can be engaged for any client considering or actively engaged in a separation. Working with a CDFA® helps to maximize an attorney's expertise on the legal side, by employing another party with more specific expertise in your financial affairs

    • Coffee with Evergreen: September 3rd

      In this episode of Coffee with Evergreen, partners, Jeff Otis, and, Jeff Dicks, CFA, discuss our investment committee's outlook on interest rates and explain some of the complexities that investors may be scratching their heads on when it comes to the relationships between interest rates, inflation, and various other economic realities. Evergreen has long been known as an "income manager". Not because our portfolios neglect to focus on the equity side, but because active management of both the stock and bond sides is uncommon even amongst professional managers. For 25 minutes, co-CIO Jeff Dicks, describes to listeners the ways in which his team leaves no stone unturned when optimizing portfolios for cash flow.

      1. Since March, inflation rates have moved up from 1.5% YoY to over 5% and at the same time, the 10-year has gone from 1.8% to 1.35%. What is happening to cause this?
      2. Given rates are so low, how are we positioning our income portfolios today?
      3. What are the biggest risks facing financial markets and do we anticipate a major correction near-term?

      5. Deep Dive: Louis Gave on Afghanistan, China, and "De-Dollarization"

        Evergreen Partners, Jeff Otis and Louis Gave discuss concerns regarding the effects of global politics on investment portfolios. Crackdowns on big tech by Chinese regulators have broadly received negative attention from global investors, but Louis offers a more nuanced perspective to consider. Gavekal is Evergreen's research partner and keeps our investment committee up-to-date on developments in Europe and Asia that may not otherwise be as prompt or accessible to a U.S. firm. Listen in as we discuss these questions:

        How might social and political issues in Afghanistan impact markets?

        What should U.S. investors make of Chinese tech regulation? And, how should investors participate in China?

        Is now the time to consider Asian debt for your portfolio?
