The reporters did not suggest wrongdoing, but allow me to point out that any advisor, let alone two, who became billionaires while wildly underperforming their benchmarks are obviously not fiduciaries. These two possibilities a 10-fold increase versus a 90% drop are roughly symmetrical in terms of math (but probably not probabilities).
Many advisors have focused on obtaining deeper levels of expertise in broader areas and offering more in-house planning services in those areas (e.g., tax and estate planning) to differentiate themselves. and create more challenges for themselves to maintain ongoing success.

She has a really fascinating background, very eclectic, a combination of math and law. You, you get a, a BS in Mathematics and a JD from Boston University Math and Law. It is something, math has always come easy to me since a child. I didn’t get an advanced degree in math. Not the usual combination. What happened?
One, one is true and I’ve always said is that I wanted people to stop, ask if I could doing math. And no one asked me if I can do math anymore with a degree from Booth, particularly in econometrics and statistics. So people really ask you, you take French and can you do math. Two reasons. Some don’t.
I — I loved math, but really, I was going to go down that literature route more than anything else and — and study Spanish literature. And so, in Q2, we heard a lot that recession wasn’t the base case, but they’re — they’re planning. RITHOLTZ: Applied Mathematics, Quants, those guys, yeah. I love statistics.
SEIDES: If the S&P is your benchmark, which it isn’t for these pools of capital. RITHOLTZ: What should be their benchmark? So the proper benchmark for those pools has to look a little bit like the underlying assets they’re investing in. So what do you use for a benchmark? 14, 15% a year? RITHOLTZ: Right.
Its index and its benchmark. What, what was the career plan? I’d say management consulting is any of the other thing that least at that time was the other career trajectory, just my personality, more of a math oriented introvert. Learn math, learn history. a year, way over both. Morningstar five star gold rated.
You know, I think of like a Mike Spies or at Sutter Hill, you know, a Martine Cado and Andreessen, you know, Gurley when he was at Benchmark. So here’s the math, Barry. It’s 00:52:47 [Speaker Changed] A tough benchmark to beat. There are world class partners of ours in Silicon Valley. You all have phones.
It sounds like the career plan was always finance. Was that the plan? Heather Brilliant : It was not the plan. So it generally is something that we plan as we see it coming and really try to collaborate with our clients so that we can appreciate where it may create a challenge for no reason. How far out do you plan it?
But when you look at emerging markets and when you look at value, the opportunity for alpha is much, much greater than it is in traditional large cap growth stocks in the US And a lot of managers in that space actually beat their benchmark. Was finance and investing always part of the plan? 00:02:28 [Speaker Changed] Point one.
We also have a number of articles on retirement planning: While weak stock and bond market performance has challenged advisors and their clients this year, these trends have likely increased the ‘safe’ withdrawal rate for new retirees. Adam is an Associate Financial Planning Nerd at Kitces.com. Enjoy the ‘light’ reading! Team Kitces.
What was the original career plan? SALISBURY: Honestly, I didn’t really have a long-term plan. SALISBURY: Yes, I’d love to tell you there was some great master plan. A great example, you know, some of these things you can plan for and some you can’t. You begin in audit practice at KPMG.
They create the benchmark. So when there’s a major turnover like that that happens, you always have the option, “Hey, can you do it exactly on the time that it enters the benchmark? And 87% of our active fixed income funds have outperformed their benchmarks on a three year basis against their benchmarks.
It seems like an easy one, but there’s a lot of missed benchmarking that goes on. We’re going to make a benchmark much easier. So as much as I’m personally still a pretty strong skeptic of active management, I mean, I understand the math, and the odds are not in your favor. It’s how math works.
And the advice that he gave to David Einhorn about it that helped lead Einhorn to start really kicking the benchmark’s butt again for the past couple of years. What was the initial career plan? Mike Green : Well, the, the initial career plan, actually, so I grew up on a farm in Northern California.
He has absolutely crushed his benchmark over that period. He’s crushed the Russell 2000, whatever benchmark you want to talk about. And I was a math nerd as a kid. And the division that I was in was below plan. The s and p 500 has underperformed his fund by 3.7% a year since 1989. That was real money. Real money.
What were the career plan? So I came to New York, no job plans, no ideas. You know, met the board, really liked what they had to say about plans for Orion, spent some time with Eric. Full disclosure, my firm uses Orion as part of our tech stack and managing the four and a half or so billion dollars we have. When would you do it?
Their benchmarks were down. What was investing always the career plan? I’m good at math and science and you know, I always had an idea what go into business, but I felt that electrical engineering would be a good foundation. They were down 3.8%. You know, fixed income was 15%, equities was 20 something percent.
Was that something you were planning on doing or — RIEDER: No. And because remember, Lehman had the Lehman Agg and that was the benchmark. There is above benchmark returns to be generated by active selection of credit quality duration and specific bonds. How are we doing in literacy versus math versus science?
I’m kind of in intrigued by the idea of philosophy and math. What was the career plan? Well, there was no career plan really. So I found myself getting kind of bored with my math problem sets, and then I could shift to philosophy and then go back and forth. 00:01:48 [Savita Subramanian] Yeah.
Was finance always the career plan? I started out math and, and physics, and in high school I was a rock star in math and physics. They take a benchmark in that case, the aggregate index is by bar the, the most common one used. The young constraint typically does not have a benchmark. Matt Eagan.
Quantitative investing was, was that the plan from the beginning? And I, and I really like the application of math and statistics and computer science to markets. You learn the math that can help you with, with market making operations. It’s just not smart on a math basis to do that. It was not.
You’re doing a lot of math in your head on the Fly. I’m doing, I’m doing an awful lot of math in my head on the fly. So, you know, we, we, we got involved and created a benchmark, a commodity indices at the time. We started on that plan in December of 16. 00:16:40 So there was a way to judge yourself.
