Is Your Portfolio Safe? The Real Risk of “Funny Business” in Your Investments


Listen Later

Ever wondered how to steer clear of trouble with your investments? Today, we’re diving into an SEC investigation that’s rattling one fund and discussing what you need to know to protect yourself. We’re also unpacking the benefits of passive investing and index funds—because simplifying your approach to the stock market might just be the smartest move you make.

In our TikTok Minute, we’ll take a look at a quick clip that highlights a common financial misunderstanding, and along the way, we’ll sprinkle in a bit of British charm (no spoilers, but it’s classic).

Finally, we’re tackling a listener question from a soon-to-be parent who’s wondering how to plan for their child’s financial future. From custodial accounts to financial aid strategies, we’ll walk through the best options to ensure your kids have a strong start. Add in Doug’s trivia, some thought-provoking discussions, and a peek at upcoming events, and you’ve got a packed episode full of actionable insights.
