BiggerPockets Money Podcast

How The Top 1% Actually Invest (Not What You Think)


Listen Later

The wealthiest 1% invest completely differently than you've been taught—and they definitely don't follow the advice most financial advisors give. In this episode of BiggerPockets Money, hosts Mindy Jensen and Scott Trench sit down with Tad Fallows, co-founder of Long Angle, to reveal the real investment strategies of high-net-worth individuals and how they differ from the FIRE community's approach.

This Episode Covers:

  • The most common paths to joining the 1% (entrepreneurship, tech executive roles, and high-conviction investments)

  • Why the ultra-wealthy favor index funds, private equity, and real estate over traditional investments

  • Why high-net-worth individuals largely avoid financial advisors and bonds

  • How Tad went from consulting to founding a successful medical research software company to co-founding Long Angle

  • Key differences between how the 1% manage their portfolios versus mainstream investment advice

  • What the FIRE community can learn from the investment strategies of the ultra-wealthy

    And SO much more!
