This week we dig into the importance of stress testing portfolios to prepare for market volatility and potential downturns, highlighting historical market declines such as the S&P 500's average 36% drop and the 2008 financial crisis where the S&P 500 fell 55%. Jerry illustrates how a well-structured 70% stock, 30% bond portfolio could have declined 45% but recovered over three and a half years, underscoring the need to stay invested and potentially rebalance.

In episode 8 of Building Value, Brook Hart discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with performance reviews. He emphasizes the need for a shift from traditional annual reviews to more frequent, constructive feedback sessions. By making performance evaluations more qualitative and quantitative, and fostering joint ownership in the evaluation process, organizations can create a more productive and engaged workforce. Brook advocates for continuous improvement in performance management practices, encouraging managers to focus on implementation rather than perfection.

Key Takeaways:

• Performance reviews are often not useful and need rethinking
• Quarterly reviews with monthly check-ins are more effective
• Feedback should be both qualitative and quantitative
• Creating joint ownership in evaluations is crucial
• Mistakes are part of life; how we respond matters
• Employees perform better when they enjoy their work
• Clear communication of expectations is essential
• Developing performance metrics takes time and energy
• Aim for implementation, not perfection in evaluations
• Everyone needs to be on the same page for success

This week, Jerry discusses the complexities of inherited IRAs, emphasizing the importance of understanding the rules for spouses and non-spouses.

Spouses have more flexibility, including the option to roll over funds to their own IRA and defer mandatory distributions until age 73 or 75, or to take immediate distributions without penalty.

Non-spouses, such as children or siblings, must withdraw the entire balance within 10 years of the original owner's death, with RMDs required if the original owner had reached their RMD age. Roth IRAs do not require RMDs but still have the 10-year withdrawal rule.

Strategies for inherited IRAs should be tailored to individual financial plans, considering tax implications.
