Evergreen Exchange

Something we see almost daily but have never discussed on the podcast is the occurrence of what Jeff Otis calls "accidental wealth". Some clients have attained their financial goals through intentional wealth building and/or a sizeable inheritance, while others stumble upon it as a result of extreme career success. The most ubiquitous example here in the Seattle Area is the "tech worker". From developer to director, talented folks in the tech space tend to hit a level of means they are un-prepared to manage at some point in their working life. 

Jeff Otis and Katie Vercio have built their careers in investment advice and financial planning, surrounded by the growth of Amazon, Microsoft, and other rising SaaS companies. How does this investor balance their interest in DIY personal finance with the real benefit of professional guidance? Find the right advisor who regularly works with tech execs, promotes a simple and transparent fee model, and can help clients learn to see around corners. 

As always, we hope you enjoy the listen!

Today we are publishing a different type of episode than listeners are used to--no intro music, no time limit, and not in Bellevue. We are sharing a superb presentation by Louis-Vincent Gave from John Mauldin’s 2021 Strategic Investment Conference (SIC). During the presentation, Louis goes even deeper than previous podcasts on the very relevant topic of inflation.

Evergreen Partners, Jeff Otis and Tyler Hay, are back with a discussion on some of the headlining factors driving markets as of late. This Deep Dive episode discusses the topics of crypto, cannabis, and which industries we think may be permanently altered by the pandemic's virtualization of so many sectors. Another center-stage topic continues to be the balancing of economic stimulus with a recovering economy. None of us has a crystal ball, but Tyler shares his considerations for thinking through whether inflation (or deflation) could lie ahead. Listen in as we discuss these questions:
