As the financial landscape changes, so do the goals of investors. Rather than simply trying to achieve the highest return, investors are increasingly focused on achieving specific financial goals. As investors are shifting the way they view their portfolios, how can they construct a portfolio tailored to their unique circumstances and goals?

In this episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Scott Ladner, CEO and Chair of the Investment Committee at Horizon Investments. In these capacities, he oversees all aspects of the firm's Investment Management division. He also provides macro analysis and interpretation of global derivatives, credit, foreign exchange, equity, and funding markets.

Scott talks with Rusty and Robyn about what goals-based investing is and how it differs from traditional investing, how to mitigate the risks associated with investing, and what his outlook is for the ETF industry.
