Paul Tyler:
Hi, this is Paul Tyler and welcome to another episode of That Annuity Show. We have our regular host, Ramsey, how are you?

Ramsey D Smith:
Fantastic.

Paul Tyler:
Bruno, welcome from Canada.

Bruno Caron:
Fantastic as well here.

Paul Tyler:
Tisa, glad to have you on.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
Thanks, good morning everyone.

Paul Tyler:
Yeah, well today we’re actually going to spend some time talking about a conference two weeks ago that the Alliance for Lifetime Income organized in Washington, DC. It looked like a great turnout, great speakers. Ramsey, you were there, and we have one other panelist, also a regular guest on our show, Mr. David Mocchia. David, welcome.

David Macchia:
Good morning. Thank you.

Paul Tyler:
And for those who don’t know, you are the founder and CEO of Wealth2K in Boston. And thanks. We just thought it would be really interesting just to get both of your perspectives on what was said, what wasn’t said, what should be talked about a little bit more in the industry going forward. Ramsey, I’ll just turn it over to you to start.

Ramsey D Smith:
Sure, so just to. to give a bit of background on the event. So it was held in Washington, D.C. And I thought that the way it was organized was really unique and interesting. So it was sponsored by the Alliance for Lifetime Income. It was their annual summit. And it was an interesting mix of people and leaders representing the members of the Alliance for Lifetime Income. So they have 20 odd members that are in the insurance industry support the cause of changing the conversation around protected income. And this was a gathering of those leaders. It was a gathering of what I’ll call the intelligentsia

Ramsey D Smith:
space, all right. I won’t include myself in that, but I will just say that I was happy to be in the room. And, you know, it was a it was a who’s who of was a who’s who of a folks we’ve been lucky enough to have on our show over the course of the last three or four years. A lot of amazing voices joined by. really what I’ll call stakeholders in the space. So on the first day there was a session around table and the whole event was really built around this UN style table which I think was great for fostering conversation. The first conversation really revolved around the role of financial advisors, RAs and other financial advisors. And then the next day it was just a very interesting mix of again, of leaders, of consumers. it was a consumer panel, that was really quite enlightening. And then, again, different people, sort of bringing different perspectives on what the challenges are and opportunities in the space. So just before we go on, I wanna thank Gene Statler, Cyrus Bamgee, and the entire Alliance team for having us as part of the program. It was a fantastic program. David, I don’t know what you wanna add to that, but I wanted to sort of set the table for the audience about what we talked about.

David Macchia:
You said it well, Ramsey, and I’ll also say that you’re clearly and appropriately part of the intelligentsia of retirement

David Macchia:
income ecosystem. The Alliance did a wonderful job bringing all of these people together. The conversation, the panels were great, terrific information. An overarching theme that came through over and over again, though, was that we still have a long way to go. We’re nowhere near the penetration with the protected income, guaranteed income that we And so there’s more effort, more communications, more tools, more thought that needs to be committed to this. But a tremendous beginning. And the Alliance, to its credit, has made some great progress and has highlighted the issue, I think, in a very, very effective way.

Paul Tyler:
Well, I’m curious on roadblocks. That’s a loaded term. I don’t know, Ramsey, what were they? And I mean, if we started to, you know, maybe we could jump into a couple of them, talk about the problems, how they were identified and what kind of solutions or ideas came up.

Ramsey D Smith:
So we can start with the issue of advisors, financial advisors, RIAs. There was a whole session at the beginning where we focused on that, and it was really, again, a nice mix of people. There were advisors that were from wirehouses, there were advisors that were from independent RIAs. David Lau, who’s been… on our show and has been an innovator in bringing annuities to that crowd, was there and was vocal in a great way. And it was just interesting to hear what various parties had to say about how they felt about the opportunity to use annuities. And so it’s interesting is that even to the extent that many of them were pro, so one of the challenges we have in this space is that there are plenty of RAs that aren’t pro the use of annuities. or protected income solutions. And this was actually, I would say, relatively speaking, a friendly audience. But a lot of what they talked about was the challenges with doing something scalably in the space. And so to the extent that they actually used annuities, protected income solutions for their clients, it was not as frequent as it might as otherwise have been if the process of managing a business around an annuity book if you book a business you will were were simpler and more scalable David any thoughts on that I’m happy to add

David Macchia:
Yeah,

Ramsey D Smith:
more

David Macchia:
no,

Ramsey D Smith:
there

David Macchia:
I think that’s absolutely right. And you are correct, Ramsey. There were friendly people from firms like Morgan Stanley and others that believe in annuities and want to see the adoption of annuities greater in their firms than they currently are. But there’s roadblocks everywhere. And there’s certainly roadblocks in terms of what I’ve written a lot about, which is just sort of an endemic hostility among many in the RA community to annuities. some out and keep reminding them that their traditional disparagement or negative thoughts about annuities have largely been eradicated and designed away. You mentioned David Lau, and he’s been an innovator correctly. There are kind of the annuity that is ideally suited for adoption to the RIA model right now. It should be used more. It should have greater uptake. But we still have work to do to persuade these people that they need to move past their own prejudices against, you know, guaranteed income.

Ramsey D Smith:
So I want to return to this notion of scalability because there were definitely some comments that I think were quite fair. And it was really around a few things. One, it was around, because of the great deal of differentiation that’s been introduced into our business between one company’s products and another, and even between the companies to a certain extent. There’s a lot of due diligence that kind of goes into the initial process of starting to provide those products in one’s business. And then once you’ve done that, there’s, there’s an ongoing, there’s ongoing service responsibility. that as they described was challenging. So they told stories of lots of time on the phone. So there was some question that might have come up about a policy and there wasn’t an easy place to get an answer for it online or elsewhere. So they ultimately had to make outbound calls to the carriers to find out and that the friction around having to do that and the hours spent. waiting for answers, you know, ultimately made it difficult to think about contemplating building a, building a broader and more scalable business. So in my view, it highlighted like one of the key things that we need to continue to work on in this industry is to focus more on commoditization and standardization and less on less on differentiation. I know that that’s some people will find that to be heretical. But

David Macchia:
Yeah.

Ramsey D Smith:
certainly in my view, because I think that the biggest constraint in our industry, I don’t think is creativity. I think the biggest constraint in our industry is operational ease, and also it’s capital. I think that if everybody out there that could use an annuity bought an annuity tomorrow, the industry isn’t big enough yet to handle it. So that’s our constraint. We provide a really, really super valuable commodity. And I think that would be the place to invest. So that came through for me in some of the comments, again, from friendly RIAs in this space, who were only selling a few policies a year.

David Macchia:
I think this overarching theme of the need for simplification, which goes along with what you said, Ramsey, is really, really important. It’s hard with the current distribution model to move past the tendency to overcomplicate and make products more feature-rich all the time as a way to be competitively differentiated from your pure insurance company. Until that is solved, then it’s going to be difficult to move past what has been… a decades long approach, right, in terms of trying to be more competitive than the next company.

Paul Tyler:
Well, let’s just push a little bit on that simplification point, right? And I would say, why, right? Are we simplifying to make it easier to do plans? Going back to your scalability point, is it simpler to create client plans? Is it cheaper to administer? Is it cheaper to provide? Is it easier to find clients? You know and Ramsey you make the other point is it easier for the industry to actually you know grow from a capital and risk management standpoint? Yeah, did you dive deeper into you know any one of those particular areas?

Ramsey D Smith:
David, you want to go or?

David Macchia:
Well, I’m not certain, Paul, that the conference surfaced up, you know, solid answers to these big problems. It was more an analysis and identification of what the challenges are. And I think we have yet to figure out how to get around all of them. But we have to. You know, I think a universal, a universal desire among everyone who attended would be to see annuities become. standardized mainline products with genuine consumer demand. And

Ramsey D Smith:
So, sorry, go ahead.

David Macchia:
in that context, I think it’s very important that the RIA community embrace annuities. I think that’s a key to getting to where we have to go. But there’s a lot of work that has to be done to, as Ramsey indicated, to make it scalable in that channel.

Ramsey D Smith:
So I’m gonna take the other side of my own argument.

David Macchia:
Hehehe

Ramsey D Smith:
and ask the question, so why is it that we do focus so much, there is so much focus on differentiation in this industry. And I think at a certain level, it’s what customers are looking for. I mean, customers wanna feel like they’re buying something special. It’s not unique to the insurance industry. You see it in the mutual fund industry. Like, you could see a world where everybody just bought index funds, but no, people want branded funds, they want star managers, There’s a marketing challenge, Paul, I think that’s what you’re kind of getting at. There is a legitimate marketing challenge to the extent that you’re selling something that you sort of say admittedly is the simplest possible solution. So I think that’s the challenge. It’s not just what the industry wants to sell. I think it’s that that’s what the audience… whether intentionally or not, tends to ask for, I mean for years, whenever I spent 30 years on Wall Street and people would ask me for stock tips and the like, and I would always point them to a very well-known index fund manager. And if they followed my advice, they would do that, and they would come back and they’d say to me, well okay, now what do I do? And the answer to that was, is go get a beer. But in fact, they… you know, to a man or woman, they all wanted to find something else. They all felt like they needed to do something else. So people are willing to actually pay like they feel like they’ve done something different. So I think that’s a behavioral tendency that is quite real.

Bruno Caron:
So you mentioned the conference was separated in multiple topics. You mentioned you had a consumer panel. David, did you identify some of those consumers as being constraint investors? And were some of them, could you see the path towards the the continuing investment story to them and how to bring the conversation to that particular context.

David Macchia:
It’s a good question. I think that panel revealed a few things For me firstly, I’d say all of them were constrained investors But was most jarring to me was their difficulty in connecting with financial advisors. I mean You know Jean Statler at the meeting said she’s the chairman of the Alliance So we’re gonna make certain that there are people here in the audience who are advisors who work with you, you know But they told their stories, their war stories of how difficult it was to connect with financial advisors. One client found it difficult not so much to connect with advisors, but to find the right advisor to connect with, someone that she could harmonize with appropriately, she and her husband. So I thought that was a little bit surprising because working with financial advisors, as I do on a daily basis, I’m aware of most of them saying that their biggest challenge is finding a client. So here were clients who couldn’t find an advisor. That was just incredible to me, but certainly was a true fact. I don’t know, Ramsey, did you pick up anything else?

Ramsey D Smith:
Yeah, well there were lots of interesting things. It was a very good cross section of folks. And importantly, I don’t think anybody, I don’t think anybody would have been considered high net worth. I think they were anything from sort of, call it middle class, somewhere in sort of the low to mid part of mass affluent, David if that makes sense,

David Macchia:
Yeah, I think that’s

Ramsey D Smith:
in

David Macchia:
fair.

Ramsey D Smith:
that range.

David Macchia:
Absolutely.

Ramsey D Smith:
And I thought that was important because, right, that’s an important audience, right? Like that’s most people, that’s probably most Americans. And I think that the financial advisory system as it’s set up, it’s very human capital driven, and there’s lots of good reasons for that. And it’s, in some ways it’s expensive, and in some ways it should be, because human capital should be expensive, right? because it’s very valuable and et cetera. But unfortunately I think that’s a construct that lends itself towards focusing on wealthier clients. So one of the challenges here that was very clear is that most of these folks might have fallen under the radar, not all of them, but a few of them might have otherwise fallen under the radar for a lot of financial advisors. Now one of the amazing things, and big credit to again, in the audience is there were a number of advisors who put their hand up and said I’d be happy to help one or more of the folks on the panel. I thought that was great because the quality and the skill sets of the advisors that were there were really, really top, top, top flight. One of the… A couple, there were really, of the four or five people that were up on the panel, there were two that were, in my mind, most striking. So one was a couple. The wife worked in the federal government. Husband was a police officer, like a senior police officer, and both of them had pensions. And although they were not without concern about what. lay ahead for retirement, I think that you could see somewhat less tension about it than maybe with some of the other folks on the panel who didn’t really have the baseline guaranteed income. And that was quite notable. I think they were quite lucky to be in that

David Macchia:
You know,

Ramsey D Smith:
position.

David Macchia:
that’s a really good point, Ramsey, because that highlights the advantage of a floor, right, and how

Ramsey D Smith:
Yeah.

David Macchia:
important that is. And it was very clear you’re right, that the other people were very nervous about the future, not certain how they were going to be able to maintain their lifestyle at all. And without that floor income, that certain income, you know, they’re right to feel that anxiety for sure.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
Ramsey, did you discuss it all on that panel or at the conference about how and where to go to find those new types of clients? I heard you say, David, that there’s this group of consumers that say they’re looking for an advisor and they can’t find it. And there’s advisors that are looking for new clients and can’t find them. So clearly whatever, not necessarily clearly, but I’m gonna assume that whatever referral source, which is typically word of mouth that they’re using isn’t lending to… leading to the next client. So did they talk at all about strategies of like. technology, places, forums, marketing, ways that they should be looking differently for new clients, because it seems like that’s,

David Macchia:
Yeah,

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
I guess

David Macchia:
I mean,

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
where the disconnect is.

David Macchia:
I don’t think there was much discussion among advisors about how to market, but it was clearly a message that hit home to me was that advisors need to do more to market.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
Mm-hmm.

David Macchia:
They need to make themselves visible and available to people more than they’re doing so right now.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
Right. And I reach out of their natural market. I mean, for asking for the same client base

David Macchia:
That’s right.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
for the next referral and it’s dried up.

David Macchia:
That’s right. That’s

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
Yeah.

David Macchia:
right. They’re going to be more proactive, you know, spend some money and market themselves as aggressively as they possibly can because I’m certain they will find customers if they do.

Ramsey D Smith:
I think there’s a few issues here and I’ll sort of lay them out as technology and trust. So trust is always an issue and actually it should be, right? It’s an emotionally charged issue to make a decision around everything you work for your whole life. So there’s the issue of people finding advisors that they feel that they can trust. And then there’s the question of how you actually. deliver sort of that matchmaking electronically, how you deliver the service electronically. And the reason I say electronically is because this is, it’s sort of in this sort of economic stratum, you’re gonna need to have, you’re gonna need to actually employ technology to achieve the kind of scale that’s. that’s needed, he can’t, I don’t think you can have individual advisors, I don’t know if there’s enough, individual

David Macchia:
Yeah,

Ramsey D Smith:
advisors,

David Macchia:
that’s not

Ramsey D Smith:
and

David Macchia:
enough.

Ramsey D Smith:
enough high quality ones, because they have to be good. They can’t just go out and get a designation, they actually have to be quite good at it too, to actually meet that needs of technology is gonna be critical. So no clear answers, I would say, Tissa, but a very poignant, a very poignant lens. into the scope of the challenge and the opportunity.

David Macchia:
And Ramji,

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
Yeah,

David Macchia:
to your

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
when

David Macchia:
point

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
the

David Macchia:
about, I’m sorry, Tizibut, just don’t forget this thought, to your point about enough advisors, you know, one of the themes that came through was that this conference was looking at peak 65, which next year is 12,000 people a day turning age 65. There clearly are not enough advisors to handle this. And you’ll have to wonder what’s gonna fill the gap there. Is it gonna be technology? Is it gonna be a GPT front end to a… a virtual advisor that works with people. So a lot of interesting things I think, in the near future we’ll see develop.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
Yeah, I mean, there’s so many industries that aren’t prepared for the aging population, right? So this is another impact wave coming. Back to your point, Ramsey, on technology, I think that it also solves that barrier of geography, right? So where you live may not be where that next network or circle of clients lives, but you could still service them. And so…

Ramsey D Smith:
Yeah.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
becoming more comfortable with technology and servicing clients digitally, whether on zoom or other platforms helps grow where your client base can be. You can be on the East coast and serve people on West coast and vice versa, because we all know there’s concentrations of certain, um, you know, consumer basis in particular geographical areas. So another play for technology there too.

Ramsey D Smith:
Sure.

Bruno Caron:
And in terms, going back to that consumer panel, did you both observe any traditional or perhaps maybe new interesting findings between men and women? We all know it’s a very important topic within the retirement planning space. I think it can have various ways to approach different issues, anything on that topic.

David Macchia:
Well, specifically from the panel, Bruno, I’m not sure that that came through to me, but I know in my comments, I talked about this revolution, this upcoming revolution where wealth assets are transitioning to the control of women, which we’re all aware of.

Ramsey D Smith:
you

David Macchia:
But I do not think that the industry is prepared for it. But I think it augurs well for protected income because the research is pretty clear that a majority of women in the boomer age group. literally worry about upliving their income. I mean, that’s just an open invitation to serve women with the annuities that can provide the income security they need. I know Ramsey, did you come up with anything from the panel in that

Ramsey D Smith:
Well,

David Macchia:
context?

Ramsey D Smith:
it was interesting. So the panel was four women and one man, if I remember correctly. And I would say it’s interesting. So the gentleman, he both, as I mentioned before, he both had a very generous pension relative to his salary, but he also had said he just really hadn’t thought about it. That

David Macchia:
Yeah.

Ramsey D Smith:
was interesting, because everybody else had been much more sort of.

David Macchia:
Right?

Ramsey D Smith:
stressing about it, he really hadn’t thought about it until sort of relatively recently. Lucky for him, he’s got something that works. And again, my takeaway from that was, well, that’s kind of what I think many of us need. We don’t really entirely think about social security because we’re made to have it, right? And that was the case with the fine benefit pension plans, as was the case with this gentleman. And, and. That’s why certainly my view, which I articulated on the panel that I participated in, is that as much as possible, we need to give people, we need to give people protected income, and then explain to them why they should hang on to it, why they should keep it.

David Macchia:
Default them.

Ramsey D Smith:
I think that is sort of an important. important element I think of success here. And that seems to be consistently, when systems have worked, i.e. social security and traditional pension plans, it’s because they have not been optional. You get them, and then once you get them, nobody wants to let them go, which says a lot.

Bruno Caron:
It still amazes me how everyone feels that the benefit of protected income is amazing. And that was made by Professor Merton in the Doug Orchard’s film not that long ago. It was made repeatedly that this benefit is amazing and unbelievable. Yet no one buys it. When you actually have to cut a check to actually get that. It is just not happening. So yeah, I think that speaks to the entire disconnect that you’ve been discussing all along this episode, but also for the last

David Macchia:
Yeah.

Bruno Caron:
10 plus years.

David Macchia:
And part of that, Bruno, I think revolves around a skepticism in the marketplace, which has been developed over the years by a lot of annuity adverse advertising and communications, which I believe has had a real impact on the public psyche about annuities. The obvious example is Ken Fisher, but it’s others.

Ramsey D Smith:
I was gonna say, does that voice have a name, David? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Bruno Caron:
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

David Macchia:
Yeah, that voice does have a name. And

Paul Tyler:
Hahaha.

David Macchia:
I began my comments by saying that, although I’ve never met the individual in person, I’ve disliked the guy named Ken Fisher for a long time for his views on annuities. But that’s done a lot of damage. I hate to give him credit for anything, but that’s done a lot of damage. And we have to work really hard to surmount and educate. and move past that sort of adverse dogma, if you will.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
On that point of education, I just wanted to go, I wonder, and I’m in a room full of men, so correct me. Feel free to correct me.

Bruno Caron:
Hehehehe

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
But sort of, the education, I guess where I was gonna go is I don’t know that it’s only women that value protected income or have fears about retirement or outliving, it’s probably the question of who was willing to get up in a public forum and say that they have the problem or say that they had questions. And where I’m going with that is I think it’s probably more acceptable. If we’re going to talk about gender roles, or I’ll generalize a little bit by gender and say that it’s probably a little more acceptable for a woman to say, like, I need help with this, or I don’t understand this, or I’m worried about this. And maybe in a public setting, and in particular on a panel in front of a room full of strangers, men may have shied away from the opportunity to get up and say that they didn’t know something or they didn’t understand something. So I guess where I’m going with that is it seems like… in the industry or at the advisor level, there’s an opportunity to remove the stigma or maybe even shame of not knowing the answer, feeling fear, not feeling like you haven’t planned well enough, some of those kind of emotions that come around planning our money.

David Macchia:
Heh.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
So just a thought there.

David Macchia:
There’s a lot behind that thought. And you’re describing sort of the inherent weaknesses of males, I think, to some extent.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
I wasn’t going there.

David Macchia:
But

Bruno Caron:
Hehehehehehehehehehehehe

David Macchia:
I think in comparison to females, we do have some weaknesses. And they’re significant. And we don’t communicate as well. And we don’t necessarily admit that we want to know. And when we get lost, I mean, think about before GPS. How often you’d be reluctant to go into the gas station and ask for directions. I know some people listening can’t even that that was a thing, but it was a thing. And my wife would say, you know, go ask for directions. No, I know how to get to, you know,

Bruno Caron:
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

David Macchia:
202 Main Street, you know.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
Yes.

Ramsey D Smith:
It was the meme before meme exists. That was

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
I’m

Ramsey D Smith:
like

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
going

Ramsey D Smith:
a

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
to say

Ramsey D Smith:
real

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
right.

Ramsey D Smith:
thing.

Paul Tyler:
Yes.

Ramsey D Smith:
Yeah.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
It’s an interesting idea that retirement is a destination. But yeah,

Bruno Caron:
Hehehehe.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
there’s

Bruno Caron:
Hehehehe.

Tisa Rabun-Marshall:
got to be a path or a map to get there. Right? So yeah.

Paul Tyler:
Well,

David Macchia:
For sure.

Paul Tyler:
maybe just shift the conversation just a little bit because, you know, clearly there’s this… there’s a supply and demand problem that’s not easy to… easy to figure out how to solve. What about other… the roles of other players in making it easier to get playing support? Put two on the table. I’m very curious to get both your perspectives and hear if it was discussed. One is the workplace. Here in the US, for whatever historical reason we’ve attached your healthcare benefits to your employer, right? Now during the pandemic, employers are offering mental health assistance. It’s almost a race for… the benefits you can offer to keep your employees happy, not looking for jobs and recruit others, should financial planning be a component that should be baked into every single plan? The other is the government, Ramsey. Should the government just say, you must… You know, we made this Secure Act 3.0 is you must buy an annuity. You know, I mean, what… Two players. You know, David, I’ll start with you. Can employers do more? Should the government do more?

David Macchia:
I wish I had a crystal ball, but I will tell you my guess. I think that the revolution may be led in plan, where the, and now Ramsey is probably better one to comment on this because he’s innovating in this area, but I can see 401k developing into literally one account for life. And when plan sponsors wanting to keep assets in plan and 401k turning into a post retirement vehicle. I think that would be revolutionary were it to happen. It would dislocate a lot of things and disrupt a lot of things when it happens, but I kind of feel it’s inevitable that it will happen. I don’t know, Ramsay, if you agree with me on that.

Ramsey D Smith:
So David, first off, very well said on all those salient points. These are the, on the panel that David and I were on, we were all asked to come up with sort of three key issues. So my three issues, if I can remember them correctly, one was that education cannot possibly be executed as quickly as personal financial plans need to be executed. So education is important. directionally important. It’s what we all do and And it will remain a key goal of what what all of us Sorry, I think I muted my mic. So I was saying that education is super important, but it. generally takes longer for any of us to get educated on what we need to do for our personal finances than it does for us, sort of the required action that needs to be taken. So it goes back to what I was saying about, I think a lot of this needs to be done for us, and I think that the best place to do that is in the workplace. Whether or not the government can do it, I mean, the government’s got its hands full with so many other things right now, including just making sure social security is adapted to the changing economic environment. My bet remains, on the workplace. I think the workplace is particularly valuable because we talked about something earlier, which was technology and trust. And I think technology and trust, the workplace can be a nexus point for both of those things. If you tend to trust your employer for a variety of reasons, you may not like your employer, but they provide a lot of services to you that you trust or accept. and sort of enroll with the punches, so I think that’s very important. And in the workplace, there are the resources to actually create technology that can deliver the services, so that’s certainly my view. And the last item I brought up, so I said it was. It was. Education is great but isn’t fast enough. The second one was the workplace is gonna be the place where the problem can be solved. And the last one is that we need to be simple and scalable which we’ve talked about previously. And that hits on David’s point that he just made about what was the, how did you describe it? The

David Macchia:
Wanna come for life?

Ramsey D Smith:
one account for life, yes, absolutely.

David Macchia:
You know,

Paul Tyler:
interest

David Macchia:
I think it’s ironic. I’m old enough to remember when I came into the insurance business that the insurance industry was sort of the America’s custodian of pension assets. And that shifted away to the defined benefit world and investment management world. And I think it’s ironic that the insurance industry may go back to more prominence in terms of pensions via the same disruptive force that caused it to decline. I just think that would be a strange and ironic outcome that is perhaps likely to happen.

Ramsey D Smith:
Let’s

Paul Tyler:
Yeah,

Ramsey D Smith:
take

Paul Tyler:
well…

Ramsey D Smith:
it one step further. Now to the entire, the challenge to the insurance industry is now’s your chance.

David Macchia:
Right.

Ramsey D Smith:
The mutual

David Macchia:
Right.

Ramsey D Smith:
fund industry ate our lunch for decades.

David Macchia:
Yeah.

Ramsey D Smith:
Now’s our chance to take it back.

Paul Tyler:
Yeah,

David Macchia:
That’s right.

Paul Tyler:
well, you know, on that note, I actually, my cousin actually sent me a book on the foundings of Vanguard, and I thought, yeah, okay, I know the story. I didn’t really know the story. For anybody who is interested, I don’t have the copy with me, but Vanguard didn’t happen the way you might have thought

David Macchia:
Yeah,

Paul Tyler:
it did, right?

David Macchia:
Bagel had

Paul Tyler:
And,

David Macchia:
a fight for it. He fought for that. He struggled.

Paul Tyler:
yeah, and if somebody said, you know, there’s, if you’re… You’re going to change something. There’s usually a good reason, and then there’s a real reason. And we will eventually, I’m confident we’ll get here, but it may not be quite the path we think. Well, we’re at the top of the time. Bruno, any last questions or thoughts here for our Steam panel?

Bruno Caron:
No, thank you for sharing that visit to Washington with basically a group of people that we’ve been lucky to have on the show. And please, through that time, if there’s anyone we have not invited, it’d be great to have them. And of course, some of the quality guests would be good to have again. But thanks for coming and sharing.

David Macchia:
That’s

Paul Tyler:
Yeah.

David Macchia:
my pleasure. By the way, it’s my honor to be on the same panel with Ramsey. I mean, I enjoyed it very much.

Ramsey D Smith:
Ditto right back

Paul Tyler:
Yeah.

Ramsey D Smith:
at you

Paul Tyler:
Well,

Bruno Caron:
I’d

Paul Tyler:
uh-

Bruno Caron:
say you’re both part of the intellectual community of the retirement income space.

Paul Tyler:
The intelligentsia, I like this.

Bruno Caron:
Intelligentsia,

Ramsey D Smith:
Yeah, yeah,

Bruno Caron:
sorry.

Ramsey D Smith:
but we should definitely want to make sure that we acknowledge the the Alliance for lifetime income I mean look we’re sort of inherently partners intellectual partners, you know in

David Macchia:
for

Ramsey D Smith:
our

David Macchia:
sure.

Ramsey D Smith:
in our Devoners in our Devers and It was really it was really a fantastic event was well organized It was well attended. It was really a remarkable thing. So it was delighted to have been invited by

Paul Tyler:
Yeah.

Ramsey D Smith:
them So thank you to the Alliance

Paul Tyler:
Yeah, well,

Bruno Caron:
Was it

Paul Tyler:
you

David Macchia:
Same

Paul Tyler:
know.

Bruno Caron:
as

David Macchia:
for

Bruno Caron:
fun

David Macchia:
me.

Bruno Caron:
as the Rolling Stone concert in Atlanta, or

David Macchia:
Hehehe

Bruno Caron:
how does that compare?

Ramsey D Smith:
Different fun, a different kind of fun, but the Alliance gets credit for that too, so.

Paul Tyler:
Yeah, well, hey, David, thanks for coming on here. I don’t know, do either of you know if they’re going to release synopsises or write-ups of your panels, if people who are listening would like to learn more?

David Macchia:
Good

Ramsey D Smith:
I

David Macchia:
question.

Ramsey D Smith:

David Macchia:
I

Ramsey D Smith:

Paul Tyler:
Okay, all right. Well, a good reason for companies to go out and join the Alliance for Lifetime Income, right? If this is good, there should be a good commercial for them, Ramsey.

Ramsey D Smith:
Ha.

David Macchia:
For sure.

Paul Tyler:
Very good commercial

Ramsey D Smith:
All right.

Paul Tyler:
for the next event. All right. Hey, well listen, thanks for your time, and I want to thank our listeners. Definitely share this episode. Share it with your friends. Give us comments, and join us again next week. for another interesting episode of That Annuity Show. Thanks.

Episode Transcript

The discussion is not meant to provide any legal, tax, or investment advice with respect to the purchase of an insurance product. A comprehensive evaluation of a consumer’s needs and financial situation should always occur in order to help determine if an insurance product may be appropriate for each unique situation.

paul_tyler:
Hi, this is Paul Tyler and welcome to another episode of that annuity show. Bruno. Good to see you.

bruno_caron:
Good to see you. Good afternoon, and very always always in a good mood when we talk to David. So looking forward to this

paul_tyler:
Yeah, good. all right, Ramsey. good

ramsey_d_smith:
All

paul_tyler:
to see

ramsey_d_smith:
right,

paul_tyler:
you on a

ramsey_d_smith:
good

paul_tyler:
Friday.

ramsey_d_smith:
to be here on on on a Friday here from Atlanta. Delighted to welcome back to our program. David, Marcia, David Is, has done lots of different things in our In our space Primarily would like to be described to somebody who’s I’m paraphrasing, been steadfastly dedicated to financial literacy and in Lusion, and along the way has done so defending the benefits of annuities, And we’re going to be talking about some, some, really, some, critical, some critical ways that he thinks we should be thinking about both annuities, and also importantly, thinking about some of the analytical tools that that underlie some of the advice that’s given these days, So with that I’ll turn it over. Turn it over to actually turn over to you, Bruno To start off the conversation.

bruno_caron:
Well, thank you, Ramsey, and as we said, very very happy to always continued the conversation with with David and David. Why don’t we start off with with a recent? A few recent articles that were were published in Advisor Perspective. That was all related to H to Monte Carlo simulation. We all know that it is a tool that is being used by by advisers and planners, and Sometimes that tool is being used counter the benefit of potentially using annuities and financial planning. You’ve been a very very deep voice on on income retirement income through through your flame framework of the constraint investor. What are your thoughts on the the status today of money car Simulations?

david:
Well, great question, and so good to be here with you guys. Become such a devotee of this show. You have done such a wonderful job with it, and privileged and honored to be part of it again today. thank you for having me back. So Bruno when that article was published by Advisor Perspectives, January ninth, I believe, written by Weight Fou and Massimo Young. it was a monumental occurrence that did not in my judgment, get as much attention as it should have. I think every financial advisor in the United States should read that article, whether you are a anuityfan or not. It’s so very important, because what it showed in a way that’s inauguable is that Marny Callow is anything but scientific. It’s variable, it’s arbitrary. It’s contingent upon the capital markets assumptions that an advisor or firm users and foul and young. Even I thought this Fascinating. They went to forty investment firms, including some of the largest in the United States. Mere Goldman sacks, J. P. Morgan and others, and they brought the case of an individual and said, What would your money college simulation tell this person? And the range of outcomes among those forty firms was remarkable from a sixty two percent confidence rate to a ninety five percent confidence rate. What is a Dividual? What is a consumer to think of that? And you know, the assumptions that they showed, maybe like on equities, ranged from five percent to ten per cent on bonds. The range was incredible.

ramsey_d_smith:
The return assumption, You mean?

david:
the return assumptions,

ramsey_d_smith:
Yeah,

david:
so there’s absolutely no scientific a notion about it And here’s here’s my problem with it. I’ve always thought and I’ve written about this multiple times that it was an inappropriate tool to use with constrain investors, because Constraint investors, by definition, must have protection against longevity risk, and they must have protection against time and risk, And Marni Carlo does not make room for That Doesn’t make room for what. for those people is the most important issue in planning their income. But what thou and young did was showed that it’s It’s inapplicability is way broader than I had thought about it. It really is inapplicable to logically kind of everybody. And my problem is that it gets used as a proxy for safety. You have a false set of confidence that comes out of it, Because you say retire, You have a ninety five percent chance that this is going to work out perfectly, but it could be a sixty per cent chance or a seventy percent chance, or a fifty nine percent chance, or an eighty eight percent chance based upon those assumptions that are selected, and that’s just way too risky for most people for most people, Retirement. And so I think it should not be used in the context of retirement income with certainly most people, if not all. And that’s why I wrote that article, and again, I think foul and young. That article needs to be read by everybody. It was such an important development.

bruno_caron:
It’s a good point, and I think that risky is one thing, and you know the fear within within investments, and all of those risks that retires actually face are absolutely true. But do you also see an angle where either using annuities or using other types of lifetime vehicle can not only reduce Risk or protect, but also leverage and help retires. being a position of strength, in other words, not just playing, not just used annuities to play defense, but use annuities to play offense

david:
A great point, and I think annuities reduce risk and enhance risk of exposure. And what I mean by that is if you are a retire who has a plan that incorporates annuities in the right way, you get a couple of things that come out of that. you, first of all, every month through retirement, you havei a guaranteed pay check. Secondly, you have long term protection against longevity risk. If you have those two comforting factors in your plan, And and then you have exposure to equities, which you should have, But the market goes bad. It gets really volatile. It’s generating big losses in a strategy that doesn’t have those protection dynamics. People are going to run away from it most likely, But if you have that security, if the advisor can get on the phone, you know Bruno. I know you’re nervous. Everybody’s nervous. but listen, your paycheck is secure. Don’t worry about it. Write this Out. and there, the annuity becomes the empowering factor for being able to stay exposed to risk. Does that make sense?

ramsey_d_smith:
I think you’re

bruno_caron:
Absolutely

ramsey_d_smith:
muted.

bruno_caron:
Absolutely, And I think that’s a. It’s a very powerful message that things need to be looked at on an aggregate basis, and I think

david:
Well,

bruno_caron:
we all agree.

david:
it goes to the notion that the secret of retirement income is not one thing you know. we tend to. We tend to you know. again, Go into these silos and the investment people think that they’re the answer for everything, insurance people. they think that they’re the answer for everything. In the reality is that we’re both the answer. We have to by definition be both.

ramsey_d_smith:
Yeah, that’s that’s the truth and it’s unfortunate that that a combination of a combination of things sort of contribute to that one is cultural and philosophical. Between those two parties. Another one is the way to those two parties has compensated right and there isn’t you know. There hasn’t been sort of an easy way to sort of melt. The two things melted two things together. We’ve talked a lot about this on this show about different ways you can resolve that Flat fees. Ourleafees. What have you? But it is it isn’t it is an, it is, an ongoing is an ongoing challenge. And you know, as we talked about before the show, I mean Marti Carlo Monticarlo, I think look, I think it’s useful. Certainly it under penned a lot of the work I used to do in my old, my old profession, but the key thing is that it shouldn’t be used as an absolute answer. It should be the start of a conversation, and to your point, the drama To the differentials in in in assumptions, Uh, you don’t make all the difference. All the difference in the world. It’s really, and it’s really going to be very hard for you, typical consumer to be able to decipher that Like which which advisor

david:
Yeah,

ramsey_d_smith:
has got the right set of assumptions Versus which one doesn’t

david:
Yeah,

ramsey_d_smith:
They don’t have the

paul_tyler:
Yeah,

ramsey_d_smith:
tools to do that.

david:
I can’t.

paul_tyler:
well, I would. also you. just sort of take another angle. Then another vector criticism is. Does the presentation of the data create a false impression of the results? I mean David. In your paper, you kind of hit on that is that man, the capital. You know, some of the capital market assumptions have wild impacts on this. you know, I saw one annuity Where some people have done some back casting on a particular set of returns with one index strategy was interesting. You. Ow. you, look at it. It was if you kind of looked and said, Okay, what are the odds that this thing is not going to result? Return great results. you know, Fifteen, twenty years out, I look like it was a flip a coin. So of chances, Now when you really dig into those dots at the bottom, what do they all have in common? Well, they were all markets in which you had Steep declines in the last couple of years of retirement, and just sort of wiped out your retirement. So Ou know, if I had just looked at a sort of normal distribution results, I would have said well, probably could work out, but it really didn’t tell me that I’ve got mammoth amount of risk in this particular strategy. If like god forbid, I get close to retirement and the market does what it just did,

david:
That’s an excellent point and you resonates with me for a couple of reasons. Paul. One big reason is that when I started in the retirement income business, I had a bucketing strategy. Six buckets, you know, and the buckets. I’m absolutely convinced From observation help people behave better, you know, especially the early years of retirement. But there is that risk that what happens when I’m eighty three and I’m close to the end there and I have a big down turn of the market, And that’s why we added flooring into the strategy. That’s why we add the lifetime Income element years ago to create a hybrid. because just for that very reason, you need to have that downside protection, at least a minimum amount of guaranteed income to cover your essential expensive. Your point is, Your point is an important one. in my judgment.

bruno_caron:
So going back to the you know the Man Card simulation in parallel to that, Having Carlo simulation type tool implies that you have a systematic withdrawal plan. If you have a systematic withdrawal plan, can you discuss some of the dynamics that are going on in terms of withdrawal versus versus return? So in, in an upward return, You’re selling more or less of securities to get the same pay check or same same same withdrawal, and vice versa markets go down. What happens and what is the philosophy behind that In terms of

david:
M.

bruno_caron:
in terms of executing on your systematic withdrawal plan,

david:
Ah, so the way an advisor said it to me once was the best I ever heard. I wish I had thought of it, he said, The problem of systematic withdrawal plants, as they force you to make poor investment decisions, classically poor investment decision. So what do you mean? he said, Well, think about it. The markets going up up up up up. What would you want to do as an investor? A smart investor would want to sell them and take profits, lock in profits. But the systematic whdrawupplan forces you to sell less when the market is going up, and when the market is nose diving. What? What a smart investor do? Well, That’s when you hold on, you know to to those positions regain you know their value and you could sell them at that time. but the systematic with Dora plan advises you to do the opposite when when stocks on nose di, think it says, sell more some more, And that’s when you get into. obviously the downward spiral that if it happens early in retirement, can cause people to run out of money and have those two dreaded words. The academics, a portfolio ruin, Right means in your dead, broke in retirement. So you know The other thing is, and I get criticized on line for this by by a noted academic. Um. I said, I quoted another advisor. You know the idea they come back with. You know remedy for this as well. We have a dynamic which roll scheme. When the market is going down, you know you’re going to cut back your income right, And the advisors had a beautiful quote and basically said, You know that’s something that works in the academic world Right in a spread sheet. But when you’re sitting down at the kitchen table with a real client and you tell them that they need to take a thirty five percent pay cut this year that doesn’t go, that doesn’t work. And you know if you’re a constrained investor, go back to that type of investor again. you know. for me, the systematical drug plan should be forbidden, because those people may have enough money to retire. They don’t have any money to make a mistake.

bruno_caron:
That’s It’s a good way to put it, and that’s when the conversations on. Well, if the plan doesn’t work, I still need money now, for you know, for basic needs for necessities or for trips, Because I mean do that trip later on. I may be injured later on, I may be impaired. I may be dead. and the flip side to that is you may not. So that’s that. That’s definitely definitely a consideration that the practical world is not always in line with with the theory. So what do you? What do you? How do you? How do you gage at? How do you calculate that? How do you? How do you see if you’re if you have enough. If you’re a constraint investor? What are some of the some of the guide lines that that you have that you can recommend to people to bench mark themselves in terms of Sets an income.

david:
Yeah, well, in building a plan, I think most advisers who are working with Constrained invests would try to determine how much of the total acid base has to be devoted to safe income sources. Social security obviously would be one. If there’s a pension there, Lucky an annuity to supplement that. What would it cost to create enough a safe income to match against their essential expenses? And then what’s left over? And what kind of plan can you eat? And you know it’s not unusual where the clients, um, conception of retirement is really, or kill with reality where they think that they’re going to have a ex amount of dollars, you know of income and they’re not able to really get that, And I give you a real world example from about two months ago I was introduced to these people in Colorado, and she’s seventy two and he’s seventy three, and they have lost. They had about two point one million dollars, and before these corrections in recent months, then they lost about three hundred and ninety thousand dollars, and they were told by the financial advisor that he was going to put them in quote, Unquote Warren Buffets portfolio, whatever

bruno_caron:
Oh,

david:
that means, And you know now they’ve lost about four hundred thousand dollars And there are life style is too expensive For what their portfolio can yield, and so became a conversation. Where can we cut back? Do I need the third car? You know, Can I cut this back? Can I cut that back? And these are difficult conversations that advisors have with folks all the time, and you have to go through that process with someone who’s really constrained to get to something that can work for them and create a aminimally acceptable lifestyle.

ramsey_d_smith:
See you’re on mute, Paul,

paul_tyler:
So I’ll open this door carefully.

ramsey_d_smith:
M,

david:
Oh

ramsey_d_smith:
M.

paul_tyler:
So is the government actually in policy makers? They finally seen the value of annuities, Now evidence secure Act to Dot, secure Act, secure Act, Dot. I can’t believe the government is actually making matching contributions.

david:
H.

paul_tyler:
Now you know,

david:
M.

paul_tyler:
for one case, or savings vehicles in first people of certain income levels, I think they’ve made it more friendly to Annuities inside for an K. plans. Is this? Are we finally starting to take annuities a little out of a political discussion more, and moving it into a one of policy?

david:
Well, policy is political, so first of all, isn’t it a wonderful development that these things are happening right and it isn’t in the national interest that these things are happening. I believe it is. I believe it is. M. It’s a healthy trend and I think it’s probably going to continue because the social compact is strengthened by more annuity, annuitized, income or guaranteed income. There’s no question about that, but I’d like to if I can’t ask you guys a question. Tho, because when you talk about politics, I go back to Ramsey’s comment earlier about compensation right, There’s a lot of fights that are compensation based. Would you agree with me that All advisers have to be paid for their work and we have a big enough space where we can accommodate multiple payment schemes and multiple practice models. The bigger issue for me is let’s do the right job for retires. Let’s not exclude solutions based upon a payment model. Let’s acknowledge, Okay, I get paid the way I get paid, but I’m going to do the right thing. You know, to me, That would be taking the politics out of the annuity conversation, as opposed to fighting about the annuity and the payment schemes. I don’t know. What do you guys think about that?

ramsey_d_smith:
So let’s go one question at a time. So the first one was the first one was that every the advisors should be paid. And so if if I use the term advisors very generically to

david:
Yeah,

ramsey_d_smith:
include fiduciary advisors, to include insurance agents, to include right with a small, A,

david:
Yeah,

ramsey_d_smith:
Um, Yes, absolutely, I think that there should be compensation there. And and as much as people say that certain certain types of advisors and agents don’t Don’t don’t always add value. If that were the case, then there wouldn’t be so many questions from clients and long conversations to get to

david:
Yeah,

ramsey_d_smith:
right to get to a conclusion of a sale. So

david:
Good

ramsey_d_smith:
yes,

david:
point

ramsey_d_smith:
for sure, there should be compensation. And then the second piece was. Um. Was that, having accepted that that we should be able to focus on retires first? Absolutely so, yes and yes, Bruno. you’re up. We lost Paul temporarily. So you’re up,

bruno_caron:
On the compensation issue, I mean, it’s a broader question, I mean, should should construction worker get paid? Should doctors get paid? Of course, I mean that’s that’s That’s how we’re constructed as as a society. and as you, you both alluded to. It’s a complex world. It’s it’s a complex environment. So you need that knowledge you need. you need. you need that that connection between the consumer and you know this, this this complex Environment. So there’s there’s no doubt there that that’s That’s just stating the obvious. And so you know, the question is how, and of course I think that anyone with the right sense is. Uh, cannot argue that you know annuities should be ignored for everyone. I mean that that’s just a complete nonsense. If you’re you’re looking at it from a pure Academic standpoint. Some you price future cash loads to certain reality at the end of the day. Are you going to accomplish your goes through through some guarantees through some insurance contracts or through some investment? I think we all agree that the answer is a little bit of both, and I think that those those things should be should be looked anintendem. And and that’s just a simple reality, that that that that can help retires do the right things accomplish their their goals of simply living a life that that they want and deserve.

david:
Makes sense.

ramsey_d_smith:
Paul. it’s your turn. You were off for a second. The question was are can agents? should agents and advisors be compensated for their work? And if we can agree that they’re more than more than one way to accomplish that fairly, should we be able to focus on retires?

paul_tyler:
I would think so now as risk what I guess or question mark. What will? what will the dol come out with later this year? They’ve already told us that they’re coming out with another fiduciary rule and David. I think this will have a major impact on retire plan Now, Maybe it’s the compensation mount model. Maybe it’s the disclosure. Not sure you may have

david:
Yeah,

paul_tyler:
more better information than I have.

david:
I don’t I know. I know it’s being challenged or will be challenged more. I don’t know. but let me let me throw one more question out. I think we should dlink two words. This really annoys me when when advisors say I don’t sell annuities, sell annuities sell being a pajoritif. By definition, right, in my perspective is everybody sells. The whole economy is based on selling right. lawyers sell doctors, so investment advisors sell their services. They persuade clients that they’re a better investment adviser than another investment advisor. It’s not a dirty word. Do you agree that sell is not a dirty word

bruno_caron:
I agree.

ramsey_d_smith:
All right, I, well, I fundamentally agree that I agree that everybody sells sell is not a dirty word. What it does do, is it? I think it clarifies that, irrespective of your of your job, whether you took the hypocratic oath or your, you know, a c, f, P, or you’re an agent, or whatever, whatever you happen to do right, you ultimately end up having to sell your services. It’s Very clear in the medical profession whether it’s farmer suticals, or it’s cosmetic surgery, or you know all other sorts of sort of alternative, alternative forms of medicine that you know that are optional that are nice to have the not need to have that that are sold very aggressively by by by the medical profession. It’s everywhere. it’s everywhere. So so my point of view is maybe I come across a ittle bit more cynical. I just sort of accept that it’s normal in every part of our lives Doesn’t make me love. Word sell,

bruno_caron:
M,

ramsey_d_smith:
But I just accepted

bruno_caron:
hm,

paul_tyler:
Well,

ramsey_d_smith:
that

paul_tyler:
you

ramsey_d_smith:
it’s

paul_tyler:
know I agree, David. we’re selling all the time. Somehow you know, semantics have gotten to the point where selling has A has been linked to manipulation or aggressive persuasion. Because you noticed nobody has have yet seen anybody in the last five years, Get promoted to be head of sales and a company that are all Chief Revenue

david:
Distribution?

paul_tyler:
officer, Chief

bruno_caron:
M,

paul_tyler:
growth

bruno_caron:
hm,

paul_tyler:
Growth officer. Right,

bruno_caron:
That’s a good point.

paul_tyler:
Right,

david:
Yep,

paul_tyler:
it is.

ramsey_d_smith:
I never thought of that.

paul_tyler:
I don’t. Yeah,

bruno_caron:
Yeah,

paul_tyler:
it’s yeah. Seriously, look at linked in. See if you can find somebody. be able to point it at head of sales. They’re not today Across the industry Now is a good thing. Well, I think if it shifts people away from well, how big was that annuity sale? What did you sell generate in deposits? I think if we shifted more towards asking ourselves, how many Retirement plans did we deliver this year? How many clients did we did we serve, Um. Michelle Rector’s point, I think would be how much retirement income David did you create this year

david:
Right.

paul_tyler:
For people

david:
that’s a great way of saying it.

paul_tyler:
get focused

david:
Yep.

paul_tyler:
on purpose, But I agree with you. We’re all in the. You know, we’re all shaping impressions of ourselves, Ramsey, the services we provide And Just because I get paid one way, David doesn’t mean it’s bad. and just because I meant I’m getting paid this way doesn’t mean I’m good.

david:
Yeah, I think if we can take the politics out of the equation, then the judgment doesn’t be The judgment over how I get paid. the judgment over. You know, the words sell, it doesn’t become insulting. and that’s what I would hope to have happen that we can extract the political disagreements over annuities and focus on focus on securing people’s financial security and retirement.

ramsey_d_smith:
All right, So David. that’s that was. That was one of one of many topics that you you were active discussing on Linked in and published. On. What? What other things are top of mind for you these days?

david:
There’s such of three areas, Ramsey that that I write about one is obviously what we’ve talked about. Another one is Maco economics. And then I just had an article published about how people can use these new kind of applications that have been created to build their own videos. Because you know people love video. Everybody knows that it’s so much more engaging. It’s so much more interactive And there’s these applications that have come out that make it easy for you have. No, You don’t have to be a designer in any way shape perform. but you know in an hour or two you can have a beautiful video that gets your message across and my advice to the advisors was you know, Investigate these things, write a script, write a script, that is, think of how you would speak to a real client and make it that way, crate a script. Record it. I showed them where they could get on application. That makes it easy to record and put a video together and start getting it on you Website and get it into your email marketing and your social media marketing, and join the video revolution. You know, in our business, financial advisory business is too little used in my view, and it’s just now too easy to avoid. So that’s what. That’s my most recent topic.

ramsey_d_smith:
All right, What are the platforms that you like for that?

david:
Oh, there’s There’s an application called Beyond V, I n d. There’s animaker A n I, m a r H. dudelydoodl. You’ve seen these animated videos everywhere. That kind of like these

ramsey_d_smith:
Yep,

david:
cartoon characters move around to do that. It’s like super easy, super super super easy That you can. If you want to you know, create a valentine for your wife. You can. you can do it in video in fifteen minutes.

ramsey_d_smith:
Now

paul_tyler:
Okay,

ramsey_d_smith:
I know

paul_tyler:
I got

ramsey_d_smith:
for next year.

bruno_caron:
Uh,

david:
Yeah,

paul_tyler:
okay. I’ve got. I’ve got to ask you

bruno_caron:
huh.

paul_tyler:
if you tried chat. g. P. T yet.

david:
I did. I did and guess what I has to you know, could you define a constrain investor and it gave me a pretty pretty good answer. Pretty accurate answer. So yeah, I have, and that’s fascinating, Paul. I mean, I got a hundred million users faster than anything ever.

paul_tyler:
Oh, it is. I said. please write me. I don’t have to use the word please. I don’t Ramsey. Do I have to say please to a machine? Write an eight hundred word essay on why people should defer taking social security until they have to. With citations,

david:
Really

paul_tyler:
David. It did. I send it to our compliance

david:
Wow,

paul_tyler:
person, and he looked

ramsey_d_smith:
Did

paul_tyler:
at

ramsey_d_smith:
it

paul_tyler:
and

ramsey_d_smith:
pass?

paul_tyler:
he started to actually argue with the context of this thing. Like some, A couple of assumptions they made.

david:
Okay,

bruno_caron:
What was the conclusion?

paul_tyler:
Oh, it was better to wait. They gave. It was a great say, Bruno. on this, I’ll send a copy to you. It was good.

david:
It. also, it also will give you some goofy answers And I read an article Coincidentally about this yesterday people were asking a question like if you could, if you could avoid the halo cost at the cost of insulting one person with Rachel Episode. What is the right answer? And the answer that came back was Well, you should always avoid the Rachel epithode.

ramsey_d_smith:
That’s

paul_tyler:
Oh

ramsey_d_smith:
It’s a strange question. yeah,

bruno_caron:
That’s

paul_tyler:
very

david:
That

bruno_caron:
it?

ramsey_d_smith:
yeah,

paul_tyler:
odd.

david:
that that kind

ramsey_d_smith:
yeah,

david:
of crazy craziness,

ramsey_d_smith:
yeah.

david:
Uh

paul_tyler:
Yeah, doesn’t compute

david:
people people people don’t take doesn’t take people long to find bizarre ways to test systems.

ramsey_d_smith:
Well, and it’s and it’s still. It’s still. It’s still early days right. So a hundred million users are essentially a hundred million trainers, Right

david:
Yeah,

ramsey_d_smith:
And

david:
it’s it.

ramsey_d_smith:
I don’t think there’s any question that it will get better. I think that the adoption the doption piece is what’s most telling. Like people are people are comfortable interacting with it Like that’s that means that more and more people are going to continue training it. So it’ll just be a question of whether or not you know it has enough computing capacity and it kind of content, Sort of things, and also like how much actual curation is need, because I think there is some curation behind the scenes that

david:
Yes,

ramsey_d_smith:
goes on. but fundamentally, though I mean there’s it’s like anything. It’s like Crypto. I, On’t. now exactly know what the future is going to look like, but it’ll be part of it. you know.

david:
Do you guys think that it will You think This is the thing that could alter Google’s dominance?

paul_tyler:
Absolutely

ramsey_d_smith:
Uh, potentially,

david:
You do.

ramsey_d_smith:
Yeah,

paul_tyler:
Absolutely. but I think what it will change and how you approach building websites, Um achieving Sco. I don’t know. I’m sure Google has to rewrite its Alcarim, David, like you, and I could probably create a thousand page website on one particular subject of financial planning or retirement planning kind of own. Every single word in there is Google really going to put Sup it like the you know on the first page. I don’t know.

ramsey_d_smith:
But here’s the thing. though, like if where before, Google would bring a set of choices. You know, according to some hierarchy, either you’ve paid or you know your your Co ranking as higher. But now something just gives you the answer, So there’s no click through right. There’s no click through to some to somebody’s sort of commercial website. It’s the answers right there, so I mean at the end of the day like Google is part information part, It’s It’s important source of information, but it’s largely an advertising channel, right if you think about it,

david:
So that’s

ramsey_d_smith:
but that P. T is not that yet.

david:
Right. But maybe only micro stuff could have afforded to do this Because the you know they don’t have that revenue the Google has right now. it’s

ramsey_d_smith:
Yeah,

david:
all they

ramsey_d_smith:
yeah,

david:
have only only to go up.

ramsey_d_smith:
Yeah, yeah, Bing. Bing needed being needed. Some kind of hook Now it hasn’t.

bruno_caron:
Uh,

david:
It’s Bing bong.

bruno_caron:
uh,

david:
That’s a fascinating

ramsey_d_smith:
So

david:
thing. just

ramsey_d_smith:
it is

david:
absolutely fascinating.

ramsey_d_smith:
it is.

bruno_caron:
And

ramsey_d_smith:
it is

bruno_caron:
a lot of people have asked what what anuities are doing, and I think it has you know, come up with some very very sensible sensible answers. So in that particular context I guess it’s

david:
Can it define an actuary

bruno_caron:
uh, no one can, not even the machine.

paul_tyler:
Hey, Well, you

bruno_caron:
Um,

paul_tyler:
know, this has been a great conversation covering the water front on a Friday afternoon, kind of oddly warm. you know Friday afternoon I don’t know

david:
Sixty two in Boston yesterday?

paul_tyler:
sixty two. Imagine

david:
All

paul_tyler:
that

david:
time record

paul_tyler:
Bruno. final thoughts questions

bruno_caron:
Well, No, no questions. Because they tend to, they tend to take pretty long, which is a good thing with with David. But but thanks for coming again. We always appreciate your your in. put in your presence, so

00:03:02,808 –> 00:03:04,309
[david_macchia]: of wisdom that’s unmatched

00:03:04,020 –> 00:03:04,323
[paul_tyler]: yeah

86
00:03:05,340 –> 00:03:10,930
[david_macchia]: so the idea of project six thousand
minutes as advisors would donate two hours per

87
00:03:11,050 –> 00:03:12,232
[david_macchia]: week of their time

88
00:03:12,245 –> 00:03:12,546

[david_macchia]: online or online and by doing that
we can leverage the financial advisor community in

94
00:03:26,796 –> 00:03:31,185
[david_macchia]: a way that will help really build
a more the bow and stronger society the

[paul_tyler]: oh

97
00:03:32,749 –> 00:03:33,952
[david_macchia]: comes from the idea that

98
00:03:33,840 –> 00:03:34,103
[paul_tyler]: my

99
00:03:34,292 –> 00:03:35,415
[david_macchia]: if an advisor

100
00:03:34,964 –> 00:03:34,985
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

101
00:03:35,535 –> 00:03:40,076
[david_macchia]: devotes two hours per week over the
cost of fifty weeks that’s six thousand minutes

102
00:03:41,045 –> 00:03:41,246
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

105
00:03:42,932 –> 00:03:46,316
[david_macchia]: we are able to get this off
the ground successfully and have a large number

106
00:03:46,356 –> 00:03:47,437
[david_macchia]: of financial advisors

107
00:03:47,430 –> 00:03:47,730

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

181
00:05:39,960 –> 00:05:42,323
[david_macchia]: in some of their time and some
of their brain power to

182
00:05:42,292 –> 00:05:42,494
[ramsey_d_smith]: yes

183
00:05:42,403 –> 00:05:43,304
[david_macchia]: people who can benefit

184
00:05:43,175 –> 00:05:44,495
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

185
00:05:43,364 –> 00:05:43,624
[david_macchia]: from it

186
00:05:44,555 –> 00:05:45,815
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

187
00:05:45,066 –> 00:05:46,307
[david_macchia]: i never really conceived of

188
00:05:46,295 –> 00:05:46,315
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

189
00:05:46,367 –> 00:05:48,089
[david_macchia]: it as as anything other than that
paul

190
00:05:48,151 –> 00:05:48,294
[paul_tyler]: yeah

191
00:05:49,110 –> 00:05:49,651
[david_macchia]: and i don’t

192
00:05:49,535 –> 00:05:49,860
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

193
00:05:49,691 –> 00:05:51,494
[david_macchia]: think it will be you know we
want to

194
00:05:51,455 –> 00:05:51,655
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

195
00:05:51,574 –> 00:05:54,960
[david_macchia]: form this in a non profit structure
we wanted to be you know clean

196
00:05:54,725 –> 00:05:54,745
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

197
00:05:55,060 –> 00:05:55,701
[david_macchia]: and proper

198
00:05:55,805 –> 00:05:56,855
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

199
00:05:55,861 –> 00:06:02,772
[david_macchia]: and appropriate and devoted to its mission
and only its mission so i mean it

200
00:06:02,825 –> 00:06:03,107
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

201
00:06:02,852 –> 00:06:05,576
[david_macchia]: wouldn’t be good to have it stray
into into anything

202
00:06:05,435 –> 00:06:05,675
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

203
00:06:05,616 –> 00:06:07,718
[david_macchia]: that becomes more commercial let’s put it
that way

204
00:06:08,117 –> 00:06:12,281
[ramsey_d_smith]: so interestingly i mean in some ways
i want to take the

205
00:06:12,210 –> 00:06:12,432
[david_macchia]: oh

206
00:06:12,321 –> 00:06:14,283
[ramsey_d_smith]: other side of your point paul

207
00:06:14,553 –> 00:06:15,120
[david_macchia]: hm

208
00:06:14,612 –> 00:06:14,773
[paul_tyler]: yeah

209
00:06:14,743 –> 00:06:14,924
[ramsey_d_smith]: right

210
00:06:15,560 –> 00:06:15,580
[david_macchia]: i

211
00:06:16,035 –> 00:06:22,546
[ramsey_d_smith]: um i think that that one of
the one of the challenges in financial advice

212
00:06:22,766 –> 00:06:26,813
[ramsey_d_smith]: is is that there there still is
a large part of the population that isn’t

213
00:06:26,913 –> 00:06:30,479
[ramsey_d_smith]: covered part of it reason it’s not
covered is a lack of understanding part of

214
00:06:30,539 –> 00:06:31,661
[ramsey_d_smith]: it’s a lack of trust

215
00:06:31,710 –> 00:06:31,911
[paul_tyler]: yeah

216
00:06:32,562 –> 00:06:38,572
[ramsey_d_smith]: and in my mind you know an
initiative like this you know allows more people

217
00:06:38,632 –> 00:06:44,692
[ramsey_d_smith]: to understand one what they need to
do in their personal finances and two quite

218
00:06:44,752 –> 00:06:50,742
[ramsey_d_smith]: importantly kind of bifricate what part of
this can i handle myself versus o things

219
00:06:50,782 –> 00:06:52,565
[ramsey_d_smith]: that i might actually seek seek

220
00:06:52,650 –> 00:06:52,933
[paul_tyler]: yeah

221
00:06:53,547 –> 00:06:54,148
[ramsey_d_smith]: seek seek

222
00:06:54,048 –> 00:06:54,150
[paul_tyler]: yeah

223
00:06:54,228 –> 00:06:58,976
[ramsey_d_smith]: advice on so in my view like
you know if if this sort of lives

224
00:06:59,096 –> 00:07:04,725
[ramsey_d_smith]: out to it to its its full
potential you end up creating more potent clients

225
00:07:04,806 –> 00:07:08,412
[ramsey_d_smith]: down the road maybe not this year
but maybe maybe those people are clients ten

226
00:07:08,452 –> 00:07:11,297
[ramsey_d_smith]: years down the road for the right
for the broader community

227
00:07:12,000 –> 00:07:12,283
[david_macchia]: oh

228
00:07:12,399 –> 00:07:14,783
[ramsey_d_smith]: and you you ultimately end up potentially
cultivating

229
00:07:14,910 –> 00:07:15,176
[david_macchia]: yeah

230
00:07:15,505 –> 00:07:17,228
[ramsey_d_smith]: some some new advisors down the road

231
00:07:17,100 –> 00:07:17,322
[paul_tyler]: oh

232
00:07:17,949 –> 00:07:20,012
[ramsey_d_smith]: um one other point that i’ll put

233
00:07:20,010 –> 00:07:20,730
[paul_tyler]: yeah

234
00:07:20,112 –> 00:07:20,293
[ramsey_d_smith]: on it

235
00:07:20,370 –> 00:07:20,611
[david_macchia]: oh

236
00:07:20,393 –> 00:07:24,660
[ramsey_d_smith]: is that actually think one of things
that it is often underestimated about the value

237
00:07:24,720 –> 00:07:28,546
[ramsey_d_smith]: of non profit work is it you
know put you in a position to work

238
00:07:28,607 –> 00:07:32,273
[ramsey_d_smith]: with people on something about which they’re
very passionate so the people like so so

239
00:07:32,323 –> 00:07:32,850
[david_macchia]: hm

240
00:07:32,373 –> 00:07:35,017
[ramsey_d_smith]: david you’re going to pursue this an
you’re going to end up working with other

241
00:07:35,077 –> 00:07:35,859
[ramsey_d_smith]: people on this and

242
00:07:35,970 –> 00:07:36,130
[david_macchia]: oh

243
00:07:36,500 –> 00:07:37,782
[ramsey_d_smith]: and my sense is your on get
to know

244
00:07:37,719 –> 00:07:37,860
[david_macchia]: yeah

245
00:07:37,842 –> 00:07:41,468
[ramsey_d_smith]: those people and there will be now
work opportunities there as well that you know

246
00:07:41,548 –> 00:07:42,590
[ramsey_d_smith]: create other energies so

247
00:07:43,230 –> 00:07:43,470
[paul_tyler]: yeah

248
00:07:43,572 –> 00:07:48,199
[ramsey_d_smith]: i think this is a fantastic idea
who knows like what you know how all

249
00:07:48,090 –> 00:07:48,296
[paul_tyler]: oh

250
00:07:48,259 –> 00:07:50,323
[ramsey_d_smith]: those things will come out but i
actually think that

251
00:07:50,610 –> 00:07:50,832
[paul_tyler]: yeah

252
00:07:51,445 –> 00:07:56,223
[ramsey_d_smith]: think it it can and end up
being commercial in a good way over the

253
00:07:56,283 –> 00:07:58,109
[ramsey_d_smith]: long term in a way

254
00:07:58,050 –> 00:07:58,770
[david_macchia]: yeah

255
00:07:58,129 –> 00:07:59,133
[ramsey_d_smith]: that’s beneficial to everybody

256
00:07:59,160 –> 00:07:59,461
[paul_tyler]: yeah no

257
00:07:59,703 –> 00:08:00,007
[david_macchia]: all right

00:08:04,929 –> 00:08:04,950
[david_macchia]: m

264
00:08:04,990 –> 00:08:08,596
[paul_tyler]: the phone but i think it’s a
great idea if i were had

265
00:08:08,615 –> 00:08:08,917
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

266
00:08:08,636 –> 00:08:10,158
[paul_tyler]: an agency or a

267
00:08:10,145 –> 00:08:10,407
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

268
00:08:10,279 –> 00:08:17,531
[paul_tyler]: firm in a community would speak right
way give back with resources give my skills

269
00:08:17,611 –> 00:08:18,532
[paul_tyler]: back to the community

a lot furls it probably engenders david is

274
00:08:26,684 –> 00:08:30,689
[paul_tyler]: probably one of the best brand building
things i could do in a community

275
00:08:32,191 –> 00:08:32,431
[david_macchia]: i think

276
00:08:32,310 –> 00:08:32,672
[paul_tyler]: oh

277
00:08:32,471 –> 00:08:35,356
[david_macchia]: that’s right i think i agree with
both of you i think it reflects

278
00:08:35,018 –> 00:08:35,058
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

279
00:08:35,456 –> 00:08:37,539
[david_macchia]: positively on the advisor who’s donating

280
00:08:37,530 –> 00:08:37,690
[paul_tyler]: yeah

281
00:08:37,620 –> 00:08:39,403
[david_macchia]: time and trying to make a contribution

282
00:08:39,134 –> 00:08:39,155
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

283
00:08:39,463 –> 00:08:40,344
[david_macchia]: to his or her community

284
00:08:40,739 –> 00:08:40,920
[paul_tyler]: yeah

285
00:08:41,165 –> 00:08:45,793
[david_macchia]: you know that’s absolutely true i can’t
i can’t disagree with that at all i

286
00:08:45,853 –> 00:08:48,978
[david_macchia]: think you’re absolutely right about it and
i’m excited and i

287
00:08:49,295 –> 00:08:49,577
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

288
00:08:49,299 –> 00:08:51,423
[david_macchia]: i hope like i said i hope
folks will

289
00:08:51,300 –> 00:08:52,050
[paul_tyler]: oh

290
00:08:51,483 –> 00:08:53,867

292
00:08:54,227 –> 00:08:54,928

[paul_tyler]: oh

294
00:08:55,069 –> 00:08:58,214
[david_macchia]: from the corporal level i don’t think
this can work without corporate participation

295
00:08:58,701 –> 00:08:58,966
[paul_tyler]: agree

296
00:08:59,376 –> 00:09:05,226
[david_macchia]: because the financial advisors contribution that doesn’t
need to be and shouldn’t be direct

297
00:09:05,015 –> 00:09:05,705
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

298
00:09:06,087 –> 00:09:07,229

[paul_tyler]: oh

[david_macchia]: m

347
00:09:55,488 –> 00:09:57,981
[paul_tyler]: like a a large

348
00:09:57,990 –> 00:09:58,153
[david_macchia]: yeah

349
00:09:58,121 –> 00:10:06,655
[paul_tyler]: carrier with some probably some fairly tied
distribution captive is oxymoreon this business but we

350
00:10:06,796 –> 00:10:11,544
[paul_tyler]: use a lot right you need the
coverage because

351
00:10:11,615 –> 00:10:11,797
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

352
00:10:12,545 –> 00:10:12,906

[david_macchia]: yeah

360
00:10:26,368 –> 00:10:28,973
[paul_tyler]: the program that i’m assuming this would
tie

361
00:10:29,100 –> 00:10:29,342
[david_macchia]: oh

362
00:10:29,133 –> 00:10:31,837
[paul_tyler]: in your your platform

363
00:10:31,835 –> 00:10:34,412
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

364
00:10:31,898 –> 00:10:35,647
[paul_tyler]: would actually be a good name for
for an effort like this correct

365
00:10:35,825 –> 00:10:36,149
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

366
00:10:36,611 –> 00:10:36,731
[david_macchia]: that

367
00:10:36,635 –> 00:10:36,775
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

368
00:10:36,892 –> 00:10:39,977
[david_macchia]: that hadn’t been in my mind at
all i wasn’t looking for any

369
00:10:39,930 –> 00:10:40,131
[paul_tyler]: oh

370
00:10:40,037 –> 00:10:41,620
[david_macchia]: kind of ties directly

371
00:10:41,670 –> 00:10:41,811

372
00:10:41,680 –> 00:10:45,987
[david_macchia]: to anything i’m doing another facets of
my life so i think one of one

373
00:10:46,047 –> 00:10:46,087
[david_macchia]: of

374
00:10:46,080 –> 00:10:46,362
[paul_tyler]: oh

375
00:10:46,347 –> 00:10:50,433
[david_macchia]: the great things here i said a
you know one of the things i’ve written

376
00:10:50,493 –> 00:10:54,780
[david_macchia]: about and you guys know this is
this the warring factions of financial services right

377
00:10:54,860 –> 00:10:56,122
[david_macchia]: the r a community that looks

378
00:10:56,105 –> 00:10:56,407
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

379
00:10:56,182 –> 00:10:58,566
[david_macchia]: down to the insurance community the insurance
community that says you’re

380
00:10:58,500 –> 00:10:58,783
[paul_tyler]: oh

381
00:10:58,727 –> 00:10:59,628
[david_macchia]: hypocrites because

382
00:10:59,615 –> 00:10:59,996
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

383
00:11:00,229 –> 00:11:00,390
[david_macchia]: you’re

384
00:11:00,270 –> 00:11:04,740
[paul_tyler]: yeah

385
00:11:00,510 –> 00:11:01,751
[david_macchia]: pay structure actually is

386
00:11:01,744 –> 00:11:01,904
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

387
00:11:01,831 –> 00:11:03,372
[david_macchia]: more than my commission you know the

388
00:11:03,326 –> 00:11:03,487
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

389
00:11:03,493 –> 00:11:04,474
[david_macchia]: thing you have

390
00:11:04,385 –> 00:11:05,645
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

391
00:11:04,514 –> 00:11:05,955
[david_macchia]: all these warring factions and it’s

392
00:11:05,880 –> 00:11:07,260
[paul_tyler]: oh

393
00:11:06,596 –> 00:11:12,838
[david_macchia]: and i said wouldn’t it be great
if there was something that everybody could galvanize

394
00:11:12,938 –> 00:11:19,882
[david_macchia]: around and contribute their competency to because
the truth of the matter is every facet

395
00:11:19,962 –> 00:11:27,046
[david_macchia]: of the advisor community has very specific
knowledge that’s valuable right and in constructing

396
00:11:26,564 –> 00:11:26,585
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

397
00:11:27,146 –> 00:11:27,627
[david_macchia]: someone’s

398
00:11:27,605 –> 00:11:28,445
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

399
00:11:28,389 –> 00:11:34,201
[david_macchia]: foundational life right in terms of finance
all of it matters it’s just not one

400
00:11:34,241 –> 00:11:35,223
[david_macchia]: perspective that matters

401
00:11:35,255 –> 00:11:35,399
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

402
00:11:35,363 –> 00:11:37,887
[david_macchia]: all the perspectives matter and so my

403
00:11:37,925 –> 00:11:38,128
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

404
00:11:38,068 –> 00:11:38,809
[david_macchia]: my hope is that

405
00:11:39,575 –> 00:11:39,937
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

406
00:11:39,610 –> 00:11:43,837
[david_macchia]: no matter what area of financial services
you’re you’re from and no matter how you

407
00:11:43,877 –> 00:11:44,578
[david_macchia]: are regulated

408
00:11:44,315 –> 00:11:44,679
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

409
00:11:44,659 –> 00:11:48,608
[david_macchia]: and what you all yourself on your
business card you have a place to contribute

410
00:11:48,254 –> 00:11:48,275
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

411
00:11:48,648 –> 00:11:54,198
[david_macchia]: here and so i didn’t define any
platform or idea of how this should you

412
00:11:54,438 –> 00:11:58,485
[david_macchia]: play out what we will do is
we’ll create a curriculum

413
00:11:58,974 –> 00:11:59,015

[paul_tyler]: oh

509
00:13:54,433 –> 00:13:55,494
[ramsey_d_smith]: literacy is something

510
00:13:55,290 –> 00:13:56,610
[paul_tyler]: yeah

511
00:13:55,554 –> 00:14:02,025
[ramsey_d_smith]: that’s a that’s developed over a lifetime
right because things change both like what available

512
00:14:02,085 –> 00:14:04,269
[ramsey_d_smith]: in the market the market itself as
well as like

513
00:14:04,261 –> 00:14:04,342
[paul_tyler]: we

514
00:14:04,309 –> 00:14:05,591
[ramsey_d_smith]: your personal situation so

515
00:14:05,700 –> 00:14:05,920
[david_macchia]: oh

516
00:14:07,013 –> 00:14:10,159
[ramsey_d_smith]: as much as anything else i kind
of think of financial literacy as

517
00:14:10,500 –> 00:14:10,683
[david_macchia]: oh

518
00:14:10,740 –> 00:14:15,868
[ramsey_d_smith]: as a habit you develop the expectation
you’re never going to get it exactly right

519
00:14:16,169 –> 00:14:20,616
[ramsey_d_smith]: but it’s better to make make decisions
than to succumb

520
00:14:20,580 –> 00:14:22,050
[paul_tyler]: yeah

521
00:14:20,656 –> 00:14:22,179
[ramsey_d_smith]: to not making decisions which usually

522
00:14:22,080 –> 00:14:22,100
[paul_tyler]: m

523
00:14:22,219 –> 00:14:27,628
[ramsey_d_smith]: are where the biggest mistakes happening with
respect to once personal finances so i’ve

524
00:14:27,474 –> 00:14:27,990
[paul_tyler]: right

525
00:14:27,690 –> 00:14:27,771
[david_macchia]: ah

526
00:14:28,289 –> 00:14:31,234
[ramsey_d_smith]: i’ve become a bit cynical in that
i used to think you could truly solve

527
00:14:31,294 –> 00:14:34,479
[ramsey_d_smith]: financial literacy and if you just sort
of taught it better and i think that

528
00:14:34,539 –> 00:14:37,625
[ramsey_d_smith]: actually it’s more of an attitude than
anything else

529
00:14:37,980 –> 00:14:38,000
[david_macchia]: m

530
00:14:38,145 –> 00:14:38,265

[paul_tyler]: ramsey we’ve got it right

584
00:15:33,908 –> 00:15:34,068
[ramsey_d_smith]: but i

585
00:15:34,080 –> 00:15:34,361
[david_macchia]: yeah

586
00:15:34,168 –> 00:15:38,375
[ramsey_d_smith]: like i like things around like attitude
and confidence i like things that are described

587
00:15:38,415 –> 00:15:39,076
[ramsey_d_smith]: behaviorly

588
00:15:40,050 –> 00:15:40,251
[paul_tyler]: oh

589
00:15:40,058 –> 00:15:40,218
[ramsey_d_smith]: right

00:15:40,176 –> 00:15:40,770
[david_macchia]: hm

591
00:15:40,438 –> 00:15:41,881
[ramsey_d_smith]: just because i think it’s

592
00:15:42,030 –> 00:15:42,630
[paul_tyler]: yeah

593
00:15:42,802 –> 00:15:46,829
[ramsey_d_smith]: i think it’s i think it’s an
going process and an attitude is opposed to

594
00:15:47,230 –> 00:15:49,253
[ramsey_d_smith]: you know i got i got the
diploma

595
00:15:49,290 –> 00:15:49,552

00:15:51,050 –> 00:15:51,232
[paul_tyler]: yeah

598
00:15:51,216 –> 00:15:54,662

00:16:33,494 –> 00:16:33,515
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

630
00:16:33,733 –> 00:16:34,093
[david_macchia]: market

[paul_tyler]: yea

632
00:16:34,734 –> 00:16:34,914
[david_macchia]: that

00:16:34,805 –> 00:16:36,785
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

634
00:16:35,335 –> 00:16:40,223
[david_macchia]: essentially was engineered to be a bull
market physical policy unprecedented

635
00:16:39,999 –> 00:16:40,020
[paul_tyler]: m

636
00:16:40,263 –> 00:16:42,407
[david_macchia]: levels of physical policy stimulus and

637
00:16:42,635 –> 00:16:43,775
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

638
00:16:43,308 –> 00:16:45,192
[david_macchia]: and the creation of nine trillion

639
00:16:45,187 –> 00:16:45,208
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

640
00:16:45,252 –> 00:16:47,836
[david_macchia]: dollars by the federal reserve which drove

641
00:16:47,675 –> 00:16:47,958
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

642
00:16:47,956 –> 00:16:50,962

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

644
00:16:51,022 –> 00:16:54,589
[david_macchia]: i think we’re seeing the other side
of you know the inevitable counter than that

645
00:16:54,769 –> 00:16:54,870
[david_macchia]: now

646
00:16:55,873 –> 00:16:55,955
[paul_tyler]: ah

647
00:16:55,932 –> 00:16:58,978
[david_macchia]: i write about an index called the
wealth to income ratio

648
00:16:59,490 –> 00:16:59,692
[paul_tyler]: yeah

649
00:17:00,330 –> 00:17:01,151
[david_macchia]: and if

650
00:17:01,128 –> 00:17:01,230
[paul_tyler]: yeah

651
00:17:01,191 –> 00:17:02,473
[david_macchia]: you look at that so this is
a

652
00:17:02,465 –> 00:17:02,689
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

653
00:17:02,713 –> 00:17:08,792
[david_macchia]: federal reserve published index that’s been out
for sixty eight years in over sixty

654
00:17:08,550 –> 00:17:08,791
[paul_tyler]: oh

655
00:17:08,555 –> 00:17:08,737
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

656
00:17:08,852 –> 00:17:09,653
[david_macchia]: eight years it has a

657
00:17:09,873 –> 00:17:10,257
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah yeah

658
00:17:10,475 –> 00:17:12,559
[david_macchia]: long term average of five hundred and
fifty per cent

659
00:17:12,635 –> 00:17:13,595
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

660
00:17:13,660 –> 00:17:18,175
[david_macchia]: and occasionally it pops up to you
know high new heights well it did so

661
00:17:18,256 –> 00:17:21,621
[david_macchia]: in two thousand just before the tech
crash it went up to i think

662
00:17:21,524 –> 00:17:21,545
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

663
00:17:21,722 –> 00:17:25,745
[david_macchia]: six hundred and fifteen and then in
september of two

664
00:17:25,740 –> 00:17:25,961
[paul_tyler]: yeah

665
00:17:25,805 –> 00:17:26,526
[david_macchia]: thousand seven

666
00:17:27,189 –> 00:17:27,330
[paul_tyler]: yeah

667
00:17:27,247 –> 00:17:27,607
[david_macchia]: it rose

668
00:17:27,545 –> 00:17:28,385
[ramsey_d_smith]: yah

669
00:17:27,687 –> 00:17:32,253
[david_macchia]: to an all time high of six
hundred seventy only to result a few months

670
00:17:32,333 –> 00:17:36,892
[david_macchia]: later in the crash of two thousand
eight right back to its long term average

671
00:17:36,695 –> 00:17:36,955
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

672
00:17:37,353 –> 00:17:41,460
[david_macchia]: right it did that after two thousand
do that after two thousand eight well what’s

673
00:17:41,500 –> 00:17:46,488
[david_macchia]: happened since you know this bull market
has brought the index up to eight hundred

674
00:17:46,528 –> 00:17:48,593
[david_macchia]: and eighteen that’s literally off the charts

675
00:17:48,960 –> 00:17:51,090
[paul_tyler]: yeah

676
00:17:49,194 –> 00:17:53,253
[david_macchia]: and what we’ve seen is some falling
back i wrote an article which is the

677
00:17:53,413 –> 00:17:55,657
[david_macchia]: advisor perspectives dot com

678
00:17:55,470 –> 00:17:55,692
[paul_tyler]: yeah

679
00:17:55,505 –> 00:17:55,767
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

680
00:17:56,598 –> 00:17:57,520
[david_macchia]: saying that prepared for

681
00:17:57,585 –> 00:17:57,705
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

682
00:17:58,021 –> 00:18:01,767
[david_macchia]: for the destruction of thirty four trillion
dollars in wealth assets

683
00:18:02,045 –> 00:18:03,035
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

684
00:18:02,729 –> 00:18:04,391
[david_macchia]: in that simple

685
00:18:04,625 –> 00:18:04,645
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

686
00:18:04,772 –> 00:18:08,939
[david_macchia]: because when the index comes back down
again to its long term average

687
00:18:08,864 –> 00:18:08,885
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

688
00:18:08,979 –> 00:18:10,221
[david_macchia]: it’s going to be totally

689
00:18:10,120 –> 00:18:10,181
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

690
00:18:10,441 –> 00:18:15,109
[david_macchia]: destroying fifty trillion dollars so sixteen traliumhas
already been destroyed from

691
00:18:15,030 –> 00:18:15,333
[paul_tyler]: oh

692
00:18:15,149 –> 00:18:18,074
[david_macchia]: the actions we’ve had earlier this year
if we go back to the long term

693
00:18:18,114 –> 00:18:19,156
[david_macchia]: maria be a total of fifty

694
00:18:19,230 –> 00:18:20,358
[paul_tyler]: yes

695
00:18:19,236 –> 00:18:21,560
[david_macchia]: trillion dollars that’s destroyed so what

696
00:18:21,600 –> 00:18:21,900
[paul_tyler]: oh

697
00:18:21,600 –> 00:18:23,964
[david_macchia]: does that mean well i think it’s
going

698
00:18:23,975 –> 00:18:24,256
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

699
00:18:23,984 –> 00:18:26,648
[david_macchia]: to bring things more into balance you
know it’s going

700
00:18:26,585 –> 00:18:26,889
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

701
00:18:26,689 –> 00:18:29,461
[david_macchia]: to be brilliantly attractive

702
00:18:29,199 –> 00:18:29,220

[david_macchia]: indexanuity business

709
00:18:38,765 –> 00:18:39,047

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

721
00:18:50,330 –> 00:18:54,895
[david_macchia]: it’s it’s likely to remain this way
for for some time so the outlook for

722
00:18:54,935 –> 00:18:56,796
[david_macchia]: annuity sales i think you know

723
00:18:56,818 –> 00:18:56,899
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

724
00:18:56,996 –> 00:18:59,379
[david_macchia]: given everything that’s happening is it is
very very positive

725
00:19:00,611 –> 00:19:01,292
[paul_tyler]: yeah it’s

726
00:19:01,295 –> 00:19:01,925
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

727
00:19:02,213 –> 00:19:02,814
[paul_tyler]: it’s interesting now

728
00:19:02,760 –> 00:19:02,780
[david_macchia]: m

729
00:19:03,035 –> 00:19:05,018
[paul_tyler]: as of the recording dat

730
00:19:04,860 –> 00:19:05,081
[david_macchia]: oh

731
00:19:05,459 –> 00:19:07,402
[paul_tyler]: okay we just know the c p
i came

732
00:19:07,325 –> 00:19:07,345
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

733
00:19:07,482 –> 00:19:08,363
[paul_tyler]: out lations higher

734
00:19:09,875 –> 00:19:10,176
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

735
00:19:09,946 –> 00:19:14,814
[paul_tyler]: market went down rates short term rites
i guess even in your treasury

736
00:19:15,270 –> 00:19:15,513
[david_macchia]: oh

737
00:19:15,576 –> 00:19:19,863
[paul_tyler]: went higher but it’s still an inverted
yield curve and ramsey

738
00:19:19,680 –> 00:19:19,700
[david_macchia]: m

739
00:19:19,883 –> 00:19:25,598
[paul_tyler]: whatever we saw happened with mica i
mean it if i’m not sure or you

740
00:19:25,618 –> 00:19:26,443
[paul_tyler]: think this is going

741
00:19:26,700 –> 00:19:26,720
[david_macchia]: m

742
00:19:27,663 –> 00:19:29,145
[ramsey_d_smith]: in terms of in terms of rates

743
00:19:29,391 –> 00:19:30,092
[paul_tyler]: rats yeah

744
00:19:30,367 –> 00:19:31,209
[ramsey_d_smith]: i mean rates have gone

745
00:19:31,221 –> 00:19:31,241
[david_macchia]: a

746
00:19:31,269 –> 00:19:33,933
[ramsey_d_smith]: up a lot so they’re definitely much
more attractive

747
00:19:33,690 –> 00:19:34,053
[david_macchia]: yes

748
00:19:34,013 –> 00:19:39,262
[ramsey_d_smith]: and they’re getting much deserved visibility on
the back of that you know

749
00:19:39,270 –> 00:19:39,472
[paul_tyler]: oh

[paul_tyler]: yeah

758
00:19:51,262 –> 00:19:55,449
[ramsey_d_smith]: for sure rates are higher they should
be higher and and more and

759
00:19:55,380 –> 00:19:55,641
[david_macchia]: oh

760
00:19:55,489 –> 00:19:55,870
[ramsey_d_smith]: more people

00:19:55,710 –> 00:19:56,310
[paul_tyler]: yeah

762
00:19:55,910 –> 00:19:58,094
[ramsey_d_smith]: should be looking at them as a
really attractive

763
00:19:57,810 –> 00:19:57,830
[david_macchia]: m

764
00:19:58,154 –> 00:19:58,614
[ramsey_d_smith]: alternative

765
00:19:58,770 –> 00:19:58,990
[paul_tyler]: yeah

766
00:19:58,775 –> 00:20:00,761
[ramsey_d_smith]: c d is which is really the
best way to think about

767
00:20:00,677 –> 00:20:00,918
[paul_tyler]: pop

768
00:20:00,801 –> 00:20:01,343

00:20:06,584 –> 00:20:08,547
[paul_tyler]: right we’ll just say from from a
care perspective

774
00:20:08,640 –> 00:20:08,881
[david_macchia]: oh

775
00:20:08,708 –> 00:20:08,848
[paul_tyler]: like

776
00:20:08,945 –> 00:20:09,186
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

777
00:20:09,269 –> 00:20:11,813
[paul_tyler]: we target these migrates okay we’re not
on to be the best

778
00:20:11,945 –> 00:20:12,248
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

779
00:20:11,993 –> 00:20:13,976
[paul_tyler]: one we’re gonna try to go to
number

780
00:20:14,015 –> 00:20:14,975
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

781
00:20:14,097 –> 00:20:18,487
[paul_tyler]: two we’ve done that certain months and
you know by the time

782
00:20:18,224 –> 00:20:18,245
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

783
00:20:18,390 –> 00:20:18,410
[david_macchia]: m

784
00:20:19,730 –> 00:20:21,573
[paul_tyler]: you know it takes time once you
decide

785
00:20:21,558 –> 00:20:21,640
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

786
00:20:21,894 –> 00:20:26,661
[paul_tyler]: set their rates and go and change
the systems put it out you’re talking about

787
00:20:26,722 –> 00:20:30,067
[paul_tyler]: a seven eight day lag but the
time we get there okay we’re now number

788
00:20:30,167 –> 00:20:31,269
[paul_tyler]: four number five number

789
00:20:31,320 –> 00:20:31,340
[david_macchia]: m

790
00:20:31,349 –> 00:20:31,449
[paul_tyler]: six

791
00:20:31,655 –> 00:20:31,675
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

792
00:20:32,631 –> 00:20:33,693
[paul_tyler]: it’s been a real it’s

793
00:20:33,699 –> 00:20:33,720
[david_macchia]: m

794
00:20:33,733 –> 00:20:37,459
[paul_tyler]: an arms race on the migetfront which
has been good for

795
00:20:37,634 –> 00:20:37,655
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

796
00:20:37,720 –> 00:20:40,665
[paul_tyler]: i think good for consumer as good
probably not great

797
00:20:40,550 –> 00:20:40,773
[david_macchia]: yes

798
00:20:40,964 –> 00:20:40,985
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

799
00:20:41,727 –> 00:20:42,147
[paul_tyler]: would be great

800
00:20:42,180 –> 00:20:42,423
[david_macchia]: oh

801
00:20:42,187 –> 00:20:43,470
[paul_tyler]: if we didn’t have inflation david

802
00:20:43,535 –> 00:20:43,555
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

803
00:20:43,952 –> 00:20:44,475
[paul_tyler]: all right

804
00:20:45,905 –> 00:20:46,186
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

805
00:20:46,112 –> 00:20:47,695
[david_macchia]: well the real returns are still negative

806
00:20:47,900 –> 00:20:48,041
[paul_tyler]: yeah

807
00:20:47,945 –> 00:20:47,965
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

808
00:20:48,476 –> 00:20:51,001
[david_macchia]: you know because the inflation is so
high and you know

809
00:20:51,605 –> 00:20:51,810
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

810
00:20:52,223 –> 00:20:53,545
[david_macchia]: the other side of inflation is

811
00:20:53,477 –> 00:20:53,498
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

812
00:20:53,605 –> 00:20:55,388
[david_macchia]: that the way we think about

813
00:20:55,325 –> 00:20:55,566
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

814
00:20:55,468 –> 00:20:58,331
[david_macchia]: inflation today it’s not the way we
thought about it say in the eighties or

815
00:20:58,385 –> 00:20:58,985
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

816
00:20:58,411 –> 00:20:59,993
[david_macchia]: nineties because if you

817
00:21:00,030 –> 00:21:00,213
[paul_tyler]: yeah

818
00:21:00,073 –> 00:21:01,875
[david_macchia]: go back and you use that methodology

819
00:21:01,350 –> 00:21:02,648
[paul_tyler]: yeah

820
00:21:01,935 –> 00:21:03,476
[david_macchia]: of how inflation was calculated

821
00:21:02,880 –> 00:21:03,870
[paul_tyler]: yeah

822
00:21:03,576 –> 00:21:03,776
[david_macchia]: then

823
00:21:04,235 –> 00:21:04,476
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

824
00:21:04,577 –> 00:21:08,382
[david_macchia]: the inflation rate today is really seventeen
per cent you can see this at the

825
00:21:08,422 –> 00:21:12,068
[david_macchia]: website called shadow government statistics dot com
what really under

826
00:21:12,150 –> 00:21:12,414
[paul_tyler]: oh

827
00:21:12,368 –> 00:21:15,894
[david_macchia]: under playing how deep inflation is becoming
and if you if you walked into a

828
00:21:15,934 –> 00:21:16,515
[david_macchia]: super market

829
00:21:16,551 –> 00:21:16,652
[paul_tyler]: oh

830
00:21:16,575 –> 00:21:19,099
[david_macchia]: you know lately you know that’s true
the price

831
00:21:18,995 –> 00:21:19,297
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

832
00:21:19,280 –> 00:21:21,574
[david_macchia]: and certain things are just you know
sky rocketed

833
00:21:21,660 –> 00:21:21,801
[paul_tyler]: yeah

834
00:21:21,765 –> 00:21:25,653
[ramsey_d_smith]: remember what some of the key differences
are or what were were there any there

835
00:21:25,693 –> 00:21:29,482
[ramsey_d_smith]: one or two things that oft stood
out to explain that that big difference in

836
00:21:29,542 –> 00:21:29,943
[ramsey_d_smith]: measurement

837
00:21:30,984 –> 00:21:31,164
[david_macchia]: yeah

838
00:21:31,680 –> 00:21:31,921
[paul_tyler]: yah

839
00:21:31,926 –> 00:21:33,088
[david_macchia]: i don’t know specifically remember

840
00:21:32,876 –> 00:21:33,017
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

841
00:21:33,168 –> 00:21:33,528
[david_macchia]: except to

842
00:21:33,589 –> 00:21:33,669
[paul_tyler]: ah

843
00:21:33,609 –> 00:21:36,033
[david_macchia]: say that in the calculation of the
c p i

844
00:21:36,350 –> 00:21:37,205
[ramsey_d_smith]: hm

845
00:21:36,814 –> 00:21:37,535
[david_macchia]: the waiting of

846
00:21:37,595 –> 00:21:37,876
[ramsey_d_smith]: yah

847
00:21:37,595 –> 00:21:39,118
[david_macchia]: certain factors and the inclusion of

848
00:21:39,083 –> 00:21:39,264
[ramsey_d_smith]: yah

849
00:21:39,198 –> 00:21:39,418
[david_macchia]: certain

850
00:21:39,435 –> 00:21:39,577
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

851
00:21:39,478 –> 00:21:40,059
[david_macchia]: factors or

852
00:21:40,505 –> 00:21:40,625
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

853
00:21:40,861 –> 00:21:41,862
[david_macchia]: is where the difference is

854
00:21:41,996 –> 00:21:42,318
[ramsey_d_smith]: got it

855
00:21:42,570 –> 00:21:42,731
[paul_tyler]: yeah

856
00:21:42,924 –> 00:21:44,747
[david_macchia]: and i think i think there was
a there was an

857
00:21:44,744 –> 00:21:45,785
[ramsey_d_smith]: m oh

858
00:21:44,887 –> 00:21:47,792
[david_macchia]: urgency change this because when social

859
00:21:47,534 –> 00:21:47,555
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

860
00:21:47,852 –> 00:21:49,194
[david_macchia]: security became inflation

861
00:21:49,235 –> 00:21:49,498
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

862
00:21:49,255 –> 00:21:51,919
[david_macchia]: adjusted imagine if we were inflation

863
00:21:51,897 –> 00:21:51,958
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

864
00:21:51,979 –> 00:21:53,021
[david_macchia]: adjust social security

865
00:21:52,925 –> 00:21:52,945
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

866
00:21:53,061 –> 00:21:53,522
[david_macchia]: at seventeen

867
00:21:53,370 –> 00:21:53,677
[paul_tyler]: oh

868
00:21:53,602 –> 00:21:56,087
[david_macchia]: per cent you know that would that
would have some

869
00:21:56,220 –> 00:21:56,381
[paul_tyler]: yeah

870
00:21:56,495 –> 00:21:56,817
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

871
00:21:56,828 –> 00:21:58,571
[david_macchia]: significant ramifications in terms

872
00:21:58,355 –> 00:21:58,595
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

873
00:21:58,651 –> 00:22:00,455
[david_macchia]: of nations finances

874
00:22:00,600 –> 00:22:05,529
[paul_tyler]: right it’s you know inflation like inflation
is bad period i think the good news

875
00:22:05,569 –> 00:22:06,490
[paul_tyler]: is with our products and

876
00:22:06,515 –> 00:22:06,716
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

877
00:22:06,530 –> 00:22:08,614
[paul_tyler]: what we’re delivering for for consumers is

878
00:22:08,555 –> 00:22:08,777
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

879
00:22:08,714 –> 00:22:10,256
[paul_tyler]: it’s a good defensive play

880
00:22:10,119 –> 00:22:10,140
[david_macchia]: m

881
00:22:10,857 –> 00:22:12,460
[paul_tyler]: probably one of the best defensive play
if you’re

882
00:22:12,395 –> 00:22:13,325
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

883
00:22:12,500 –> 00:22:14,744
[paul_tyler]: on fixed income today so you know
my rates

884
00:22:14,537 –> 00:22:14,679
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

885
00:22:15,285 –> 00:22:15,526
[paul_tyler]: the god

886
00:22:15,545 –> 00:22:15,565
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

887
00:22:15,987 –> 00:22:17,489
[paul_tyler]: like looks like word for another

888
00:22:17,285 –> 00:22:18,035
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

889
00:22:18,090 –> 00:22:20,375
[paul_tyler]: you know rise and rates here i
think

890
00:22:21,030 –> 00:22:21,050
[david_macchia]: m

891
00:22:21,136 –> 00:22:25,805
[paul_tyler]: you know david you know guaranteed income
will go up right because

892
00:22:26,615 –> 00:22:26,635
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

893
00:22:26,890 –> 00:22:28,873
[paul_tyler]: rates are going up cares can afford
to

894
00:22:29,075 –> 00:22:29,396
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

895
00:22:29,795 –> 00:22:31,918
[paul_tyler]: you know raise caps or participation rates

896
00:22:32,975 –> 00:22:33,358
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

897
00:22:33,160 –> 00:22:33,601
[paul_tyler]: so i think

898
00:22:33,870 –> 00:22:33,890
[david_macchia]: m

899
00:22:34,042 –> 00:22:35,424
[paul_tyler]: from advisor perspective

900
00:22:35,204 –> 00:22:35,225
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

901
00:22:35,544 –> 00:22:40,054
[paul_tyler]: they’ll be able to deliver more value
on paper you know to clients up for

902
00:22:40,074 –> 00:22:40,155
[paul_tyler]: the

903
00:22:40,160 –> 00:22:40,300
[david_macchia]: think

904
00:22:40,175 –> 00:22:40,315
[paul_tyler]: next

905
00:22:40,380 –> 00:22:40,420
[david_macchia]: i

906
00:22:40,436 –> 00:22:40,596
[paul_tyler]: three

907
00:22:40,460 –> 00:22:40,621
[david_macchia]: think

908
00:22:40,636 –> 00:22:40,837
[paul_tyler]: months

909
00:22:40,661 –> 00:22:44,768
[david_macchia]: that’s true i think that’s true and
just just before we leave inflation

910
00:22:45,224 –> 00:22:45,595
[ramsey_d_smith]: m m

911
00:22:45,849 –> 00:22:45,970
[david_macchia]: is

912
00:22:46,410 –> 00:22:46,670
[paul_tyler]: oh

913
00:22:46,911 –> 00:22:48,374
[david_macchia]: i think the point should be made
it’s

914
00:22:48,275 –> 00:22:48,516
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

915
00:22:48,414 –> 00:22:51,659
[david_macchia]: a very cruel reality because

916
00:22:51,960 –> 00:22:52,121
[paul_tyler]: it

917
00:22:52,220 –> 00:22:53,081
[david_macchia]: it hurts people

918
00:22:52,955 –> 00:22:53,403
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

919
00:22:53,162 –> 00:22:57,949
[david_macchia]: on fixed incomes it hurts people with
low incomes so much higher so much harder

920
00:22:58,010 –> 00:23:02,076
[david_macchia]: than than it hurts other people just
the gas tank you know and food just

921
00:23:02,156 –> 00:23:05,142
[david_macchia]: just gas and food i rocketed so
much

922
00:23:05,135 –> 00:23:05,475
[ramsey_d_smith]: my

923
00:23:07,566 –> 00:23:09,970
[david_macchia]: i don’t know if what the fat
is doing is the right policy of the

924
00:23:10,010 –> 00:23:11,553
[david_macchia]: wrong policy honestly i wish i knew

925
00:23:11,705 –> 00:23:11,987
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

926
00:23:12,395 –> 00:23:13,937
[david_macchia]: but we have to get inflation

927
00:23:13,829 –> 00:23:14,010
[paul_tyler]: yeah

928
00:23:13,904 –> 00:23:13,925
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

929
00:23:13,998 –> 00:23:14,498
[david_macchia]: of the control

930
00:23:14,790 –> 00:23:14,890
[paul_tyler]: oh

931
00:23:15,310 –> 00:23:17,355
[david_macchia]: because it’s like it’s like a huge
extra tax

932
00:23:17,700 –> 00:23:18,630
[paul_tyler]: yeah

933
00:23:18,077 –> 00:23:22,488
[david_macchia]: on people that’s that’s just totally destructive
to their personal financial health

934
00:23:23,111 –> 00:23:23,512
[paul_tyler]: yeah now

935
00:23:23,495 –> 00:23:23,978
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

936
00:23:24,553 –> 00:23:25,395
[paul_tyler]: my perspective

937
00:23:25,525 –> 00:23:25,666
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

938
00:23:25,655 –> 00:23:25,875
[paul_tyler]: is

939
00:23:26,910 –> 00:23:27,990
[david_macchia]: yeah

940
00:23:26,917 –> 00:23:27,498
[paul_tyler]: it’s global

941
00:23:27,305 –> 00:23:28,385
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

942
00:23:27,658 –> 00:23:28,680
[paul_tyler]: i mean a lot of people you

943
00:23:28,625 –> 00:23:28,928
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

944
00:23:28,860 –> 00:23:34,730
[paul_tyler]: want to blame our administration you listen
politicians have some impact you know can make

945
00:23:34,790 –> 00:23:41,622
[paul_tyler]: it worse make you now hard to
say than like better but our ports i

946
00:23:41,682 –> 00:23:41,882
[paul_tyler]: mean

947
00:23:42,305 –> 00:23:42,565
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

948
00:23:42,744 –> 00:23:44,547
[paul_tyler]: this the supply chain problem is

949
00:23:44,854 –> 00:23:44,954
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

950
00:23:45,188 –> 00:23:46,189
[paul_tyler]: going to go away right

951
00:23:46,085 –> 00:23:46,326
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

952
00:23:46,790 –> 00:23:49,695
[paul_tyler]: if you look at the us if
you look at the efficiency of the us

953
00:23:49,815 –> 00:23:50,256
[paul_tyler]: ports

954
00:23:50,615 –> 00:23:50,736
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

955
00:23:51,258 –> 00:23:55,505
[paul_tyler]: um we’re not like you know we
were not in sort of

956
00:23:55,484 –> 00:23:55,505
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

957
00:23:55,545 –> 00:23:59,572
[paul_tyler]: the top twenty to twenty five most
efficient and

958
00:23:59,915 –> 00:23:59,935
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

959
00:24:00,012 –> 00:24:05,031
[paul_tyler]: imports of goods coming in so we
got a real bottle neck that going to

960
00:24:05,091 –> 00:24:08,521
[paul_tyler]: take a long time to change if
we can easily change it right because

961
00:24:08,495 –> 00:24:08,835
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

962
00:24:09,043 –> 00:24:15,914
[paul_tyler]: ships come into california southern california you
can’t build rails and highways through expensive real

963
00:24:15,954 –> 00:24:17,416
[paul_tyler]: estate her california

964
00:24:17,615 –> 00:24:17,836
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

965
00:24:17,796 –> 00:24:18,717
[paul_tyler]: to get goods out quicker

966
00:24:20,080 –> 00:24:20,561
[david_macchia]: that’s true

967
00:24:20,705 –> 00:24:20,725
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

968
00:24:20,982 –> 00:24:24,910
[david_macchia]: and i think one area though the
gummy can make a difference for good or

969
00:24:24,970 –> 00:24:28,638
[david_macchia]: bad is that i think we’ve had
a lot of increased regulation lately

970
00:24:28,835 –> 00:24:29,177
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

971
00:24:29,470 –> 00:24:34,780
[david_macchia]: which has had a detrimental impact on
the supply chain but you’re right it’s a

972
00:24:34,840 –> 00:24:36,523
[david_macchia]: really complex set of problems

973
00:24:36,261 –> 00:24:36,642
[paul_tyler]: well you know

974
00:24:36,766 –> 00:24:36,926
[ramsey_d_smith]: well

975
00:24:36,964 –> 00:24:37,425
[david_macchia]: it’s really

976
00:24:37,464 –> 00:24:37,605
[paul_tyler]: yeah

977
00:24:37,525 –> 00:24:37,846
[david_macchia]: come

978
00:24:37,925 –> 00:24:38,186
[paul_tyler]: brands

979
00:24:38,609 –> 00:24:40,392
[ramsey_d_smith]: i was i was just going to
say that i’m gonna i’m gonna

980
00:24:40,380 –> 00:24:40,662
[paul_tyler]: yeah

981
00:24:40,452 –> 00:24:43,257
[ramsey_d_smith]: hark back to something that i

982
00:24:43,260 –> 00:24:43,543
[paul_tyler]: oh

983
00:24:43,297 –> 00:24:43,717
[ramsey_d_smith]: don’t know if you

984
00:24:43,950 –> 00:24:44,254
[david_macchia]: oh

985
00:24:44,038 –> 00:24:45,941
[ramsey_d_smith]: if you said it in the in
the pre show or

986
00:24:46,290 –> 00:24:46,512
[david_macchia]: oh

987
00:24:46,562 –> 00:24:50,168
[ramsey_d_smith]: we were talking about travel and you
talk the fragility the fragility of

988
00:24:50,550 –> 00:24:50,570
[david_macchia]: m

989
00:24:50,849 –> 00:24:52,873
[ramsey_d_smith]: the air transport system and so we’re

990
00:24:52,840 –> 00:24:53,004
[david_macchia]: yep

991
00:24:52,953 –> 00:24:53,333
[ramsey_d_smith]: seeing that

992
00:24:53,250 –> 00:24:53,410
[paul_tyler]: yeah

993
00:24:53,394 –> 00:24:57,661
[ramsey_d_smith]: same kind of fragility and a supply
chain that was sending things just in time

994
00:24:57,721 –> 00:24:59,924
[ramsey_d_smith]: from somewhere in the far east you
know

995
00:25:00,020 –> 00:25:00,221
[david_macchia]: right

996
00:25:00,085 –> 00:25:00,465
[ramsey_d_smith]: your kitchen

997
00:25:00,409 –> 00:25:00,510
[paul_tyler]: yeah

998
00:25:00,566 –> 00:25:02,729
[ramsey_d_smith]: table in a in a remarkably

999
00:25:02,730 –> 00:25:02,750
[david_macchia]: m

1000
00:25:02,769 –> 00:25:03,390
[ramsey_d_smith]: efficient way

1001
00:25:03,900 –> 00:25:05,460
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1002
00:25:04,592 –> 00:25:08,078
[ramsey_d_smith]: my sense paul to your point is
that ultimately the

1003
00:25:08,070 –> 00:25:08,330
[paul_tyler]: oh

1004
00:25:08,138 –> 00:25:08,799
[ramsey_d_smith]: solution to

1005
00:25:08,700 –> 00:25:09,480
[david_macchia]: oh

1006
00:25:09,961 –> 00:25:12,225
[ramsey_d_smith]: supply chain problems that are that are
glow bill

1007
00:25:12,185 –> 00:25:12,226
[paul_tyler]: a

1008
00:25:12,445 –> 00:25:13,407
[ramsey_d_smith]: is to deglobalize

1009
00:25:13,312 –> 00:25:13,800
[paul_tyler]: right

1010
00:25:13,447 –> 00:25:15,010
[ramsey_d_smith]: them so it seems like both

1011
00:25:15,090 –> 00:25:15,350
[paul_tyler]: oh

1012
00:25:15,090 –> 00:25:18,556
[ramsey_d_smith]: politically and economically you know we’re probably
headed towards some degree

1013
00:25:18,579 –> 00:25:18,739
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1014
00:25:18,616 –> 00:25:19,958
[ramsey_d_smith]: of deglobalization

1015
00:25:19,680 –> 00:25:19,700
[david_macchia]: m

1016
00:25:19,774 –> 00:25:19,856
[paul_tyler]: ah

1017
00:25:20,138 –> 00:25:23,263
[ramsey_d_smith]: that’s going to take time that will
actually also be inflation ary here in the

1018
00:25:23,343 –> 00:25:24,785
[ramsey_d_smith]: u s probably

1019
00:25:25,010 –> 00:25:25,491
[david_macchia]: absolutely

1020
00:25:25,466 –> 00:25:26,107
[ramsey_d_smith]: going forward

1021
00:25:26,112 –> 00:25:26,193
[paul_tyler]: ah

1022
00:25:26,507 –> 00:25:30,171
[ramsey_d_smith]: but it’s hard to see it’s hard
to see given national security and all sorts

1023
00:25:30,191 –> 00:25:33,574
[ramsey_d_smith]: of other reasons why why wouldn’t why
we wouldn’t head in that direction

1024
00:25:33,710 –> 00:25:34,312
[paul_tyler]: well you know there’s

1025
00:25:34,200 –> 00:25:35,130
[david_macchia]: oh

1026
00:25:34,673 –> 00:25:36,278
[paul_tyler]: a there’s a big time element too
so

1027
00:25:36,425 –> 00:25:36,445
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1028
00:25:36,739 –> 00:25:37,201
[paul_tyler]: you i’ve seen a

1029
00:25:37,235 –> 00:25:37,895
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1030
00:25:37,261 –> 00:25:43,635
[paul_tyler]: lot of ship manufactures announced launching saying
chip plants

1031
00:25:43,715 –> 00:25:43,956
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1032
00:25:43,876 –> 00:25:48,684
[paul_tyler]: outside china v i think i read
a few areas people go into different parts

1033
00:25:48,724 –> 00:25:50,647
[paul_tyler]: of south east age but david that
takes

1034
00:25:50,744 –> 00:25:50,765
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1035
00:25:51,028 –> 00:25:51,969
[paul_tyler]: two years to get a

1036
00:25:51,965 –> 00:25:52,226
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1037
00:25:52,029 –> 00:25:52,653
[paul_tyler]: play up and

1038
00:25:52,681 –> 00:25:52,761
[david_macchia]: oh

1039
00:25:52,693 –> 00:25:52,955
[paul_tyler]: running

1040
00:25:52,821 –> 00:25:53,883
[david_macchia]: yeah and and

1041
00:25:54,035 –> 00:25:54,685
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1042
00:25:54,063 –> 00:25:58,971
[david_macchia]: and also in the u s building
more chip manufacturing here but you’re right ramsey

1043
00:25:59,072 –> 00:26:00,434
[david_macchia]: i think people underestimate

1044
00:26:00,300 –> 00:26:00,929
[paul_tyler]: ye

1045
00:26:00,514 –> 00:26:03,840
[david_macchia]: how massively deflationary globalization was

1046
00:26:04,140 –> 00:26:05,190
[paul_tyler]: oh

1047
00:26:05,482 –> 00:26:08,006
[david_macchia]: and any incremental change in that

1048
00:26:08,790 –> 00:26:09,010
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1049
00:26:09,048 –> 00:26:10,190
[david_macchia]: any bringing back the

1050
00:26:10,124 –> 00:26:10,145
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1051
00:26:10,290 –> 00:26:11,693
[david_macchia]: manufacturing to our

1052
00:26:11,765 –> 00:26:11,785
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1053
00:26:11,793 –> 00:26:13,435
[david_macchia]: shores is probably

1054
00:26:13,169 –> 00:26:13,350
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1055
00:26:13,516 –> 00:26:15,259
[david_macchia]: good for our national security

1056
00:26:15,014 –> 00:26:15,035
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1057
00:26:15,319 –> 00:26:16,160
[david_macchia]: but will

1058
00:26:16,085 –> 00:26:16,226
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

1059
00:26:16,221 –> 00:26:17,244
[david_macchia]: be you know

1060
00:26:17,225 –> 00:26:18,155
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1061
00:26:17,745 –> 00:26:19,530
[david_macchia]: sort of boosting inflation

1062
00:26:19,214 –> 00:26:20,225
[ramsey_d_smith]: m yeah

1063
00:26:19,691 –> 00:26:21,195
[david_macchia]: boosting price increases generally

1064
00:26:21,110 –> 00:26:21,250
[paul_tyler]: well

1065
00:26:21,164 –> 00:26:21,185
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1066
00:26:21,330 –> 00:26:21,490
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1067
00:26:21,416 –> 00:26:21,476
[david_macchia]: it

1068
00:26:21,446 –> 00:26:21,587
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1069
00:26:21,536 –> 00:26:21,877
[david_macchia]: has to

1070
00:26:22,151 –> 00:26:22,472
[paul_tyler]: well yeah

1071
00:26:22,595 –> 00:26:22,935
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1072
00:26:22,833 –> 00:26:27,721
[paul_tyler]: i would say i’d be more pointed
david it’s china was as much as we

1073
00:26:27,881 –> 00:26:28,081
[paul_tyler]: were

1074
00:26:28,080 –> 00:26:28,800
[david_macchia]: yeah

1075
00:26:28,722 –> 00:26:29,023
[paul_tyler]: concerned

1076
00:26:28,860 –> 00:26:29,002
[david_macchia]: yeah

1077
00:26:29,063 –> 00:26:35,233
[paul_tyler]: about losing jobs to china you know
china at a massive flationary effect on our

1078
00:26:35,674 –> 00:26:36,535
[paul_tyler]: economy right

1079
00:26:36,590 –> 00:26:37,496
[david_macchia]: eh

1080
00:26:37,196 –> 00:26:38,138
[paul_tyler]: cut the price of tables

1081
00:26:38,165 –> 00:26:38,365
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1082
00:26:38,198 –> 00:26:42,125
[paul_tyler]: chairs you know everything stayed at a
reasonable price in china all of a sudden

1083
00:26:42,205 –> 00:26:42,866
[paul_tyler]: slows down

1084
00:26:43,385 –> 00:26:43,625
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1121
00:27:17,525 –> 00:27:17,545
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1122
00:27:17,684 –> 00:27:23,474
[david_macchia]: and you know since o eight before
o eight from from nineteen sixty eight when

1123
00:27:23,554 –> 00:27:27,501
[david_macchia]: when we got the legislation was passed
to get us off the goal standard right

1124
00:27:28,682 –> 00:27:29,484
[david_macchia]: up to two thousand

1125
00:27:29,490 –> 00:27:29,692
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1126
00:27:29,544 –> 00:27:30,766
[david_macchia]: eight economic

1127
00:27:30,660 –> 00:27:30,981
[paul_tyler]: oh

1128
00:27:30,846 –> 00:27:35,503
[david_macchia]: growth in this country was driven by
credit so we had one trillion of total

1129
00:27:35,563 –> 00:27:38,708
[david_macchia]: credit in the economy in nineteen sixty
eight by two thousand it we had ninety

1130
00:27:38,788 –> 00:27:40,992
[david_macchia]: times that we had ninety trillion that’s

1131
00:27:40,895 –> 00:27:42,125
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1132
00:27:41,032 –> 00:27:42,214
[david_macchia]: what drove the economic

1133
00:27:42,185 –> 00:27:42,205
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1134
00:27:42,274 –> 00:27:43,376
[david_macchia]: growth since

1135
00:27:43,544 –> 00:27:43,565
[ramsey_d_smith]: h

1136
00:27:43,556 –> 00:27:43,596
[david_macchia]: o

1137
00:27:43,560 –> 00:27:43,763
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1138
00:27:43,776 –> 00:27:44,958
[david_macchia]: eight credit growth

1139
00:27:44,820 –> 00:27:45,063
[paul_tyler]: oh

1140
00:27:45,019 –> 00:27:45,419
[david_macchia]: slowed

1141
00:27:45,524 –> 00:27:45,545
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1142
00:27:45,840 –> 00:27:46,761
[david_macchia]: so the government stepped

1143
00:27:46,724 –> 00:27:46,745
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1144
00:27:46,842 –> 00:27:48,464
[david_macchia]: in with massive physical stimulus

1145
00:27:48,227 –> 00:27:48,288
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

1146
00:27:48,544 –> 00:27:50,027
[david_macchia]: and federal reserve stepped in with

1147
00:27:49,964 –> 00:27:49,985
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1148
00:27:50,167 –> 00:27:53,332
[david_macchia]: you know this huge money printing thing
that can’t

1149
00:27:53,165 –> 00:27:53,467
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1150
00:27:53,713 –> 00:27:56,418
[david_macchia]: keep going so i’m not sure what
happens

1151
00:27:56,405 –> 00:27:56,646
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1152
00:27:56,498 –> 00:27:57,579
[david_macchia]: next to generate

1153
00:27:57,330 –> 00:27:58,260
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1154
00:27:57,660 –> 00:27:59,962
[david_macchia]: economic growth especially under these conditions

1155
00:27:59,675 –> 00:27:59,896
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1156
00:28:00,763 –> 00:28:02,625
[david_macchia]: and i think we’re seeing that reality
reflected

1157
00:28:02,465 –> 00:28:03,485
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1158
00:28:02,705 –> 00:28:04,987
[david_macchia]: an asset price is starting to you
now come back to the

1159
00:28:05,384 –> 00:28:05,405
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1160
00:28:05,988 –> 00:28:06,729
[david_macchia]: more normal level

1161
00:28:07,396 –> 00:28:09,119
[ramsey_d_smith]: well that’s that’s the thin that’s been
interesting you know

1162
00:28:09,840 –> 00:28:10,042
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1163
00:28:10,461 –> 00:28:12,064
[ramsey_d_smith]: a lot of the push back on
on

1164
00:28:12,510 –> 00:28:12,851
[david_macchia]: oh

1165
00:28:12,885 –> 00:28:17,573
[ramsey_d_smith]: on annuities has been you know around
inflation protection and people say he put more

1166
00:28:17,613 –> 00:28:20,938
[ramsey_d_smith]: money in equities in like i spent
a whole career in equity so i understand

1167
00:28:20,999 –> 00:28:22,441
[ramsey_d_smith]: that i understand

1168
00:28:22,213 –> 00:28:22,800
[david_macchia]: hm

1169
00:28:23,220 –> 00:28:23,401
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1170
00:28:23,463 –> 00:28:27,069
[ramsey_d_smith]: the value proposition there i think i
think for many years it’s been very real

1171
00:28:28,170 –> 00:28:32,798
[ramsey_d_smith]: the challenge that we have now is
that you know pricing for companies is often

1172
00:28:32,898 –> 00:28:33,559
[ramsey_d_smith]: most prevalent

1173
00:28:33,812 –> 00:28:33,997
[paul_tyler]: yes

1174
00:28:33,980 –> 00:28:34,181
[ramsey_d_smith]: when

1175
00:28:34,479 –> 00:28:34,580
[david_macchia]: m m

1176
00:28:34,701 –> 00:28:37,847
[ramsey_d_smith]: you know when they have when when
they

1177
00:28:37,770 –> 00:28:37,790
[david_macchia]: m

1178
00:28:37,887 –> 00:28:38,768
[ramsey_d_smith]: have plenty of supply

1179
00:28:38,793 –> 00:28:38,814
[paul_tyler]: i

1180
00:28:38,908 –> 00:28:41,853
[ramsey_d_smith]: but they’ve got sort of a demand
shock that’s favorable to them

1181
00:28:41,820 –> 00:28:41,840
[david_macchia]: m

1182
00:28:42,354 –> 00:28:42,575
[ramsey_d_smith]: but now

1183
00:28:42,622 –> 00:28:42,828
[paul_tyler]: okay

1184
00:28:42,635 –> 00:28:45,860
[ramsey_d_smith]: we have this issue that things are
happening on the supply side so even if

1185
00:28:45,940 –> 00:28:48,705
[ramsey_d_smith]: prices are going up if you can’t
deliver the product

1186
00:28:48,360 –> 00:28:48,664
[paul_tyler]: oh

1187
00:28:49,105 –> 00:28:49,807
[ramsey_d_smith]: it’s not giving you

1188
00:28:49,845 –> 00:28:49,865
[david_macchia]: m

1189
00:28:49,867 –> 00:28:52,351
[ramsey_d_smith]: the excess profit you would have otherwise
given

1190
00:28:52,420 –> 00:28:53,326
[david_macchia]: right right

1191
00:28:53,312 –> 00:28:56,037
[ramsey_d_smith]: and so so it shouldn’t come as
a surprise

1192
00:28:55,893 –> 00:28:55,914
[paul_tyler]: i

1193
00:28:56,097 –> 00:29:02,327
[ramsey_d_smith]: that like equities have been you ve
been suffering in this current environment and so

1194
00:29:02,848 –> 00:29:05,192
[ramsey_d_smith]: you know what does that mean it’s
it’s one thing if you say well if

1195
00:29:05,252 –> 00:29:09,539
[ramsey_d_smith]: i get you know our per cent
four per cent on my my annuity that’s

1196
00:29:09,580 –> 00:29:11,503
[ramsey_d_smith]: not keeping up with ten per cent
inflation will being down

1197
00:29:11,550 –> 00:29:11,570
[david_macchia]: m

1198
00:29:11,683 –> 00:29:16,010
[ramsey_d_smith]: twenty per cent in your equity portfolio
isn’t helping that either you know if you’re

1199
00:29:16,050 –> 00:29:16,711
[david_macchia]: that’s right

1200
00:29:16,731 –> 00:29:19,716
[ramsey_d_smith]: if you’re if you’re in decumulations if
you’re an accumulation

1201
00:29:19,500 –> 00:29:19,740
[paul_tyler]: yah

1202
00:29:19,876 –> 00:29:21,518
[ramsey_d_smith]: you can weigh it out but if
you’re in the

1203
00:29:21,470 –> 00:29:21,632
[david_macchia]: yeah

1204
00:29:21,578 –> 00:29:22,959
[ramsey_d_smith]: accumulation phase like you don’t

1205
00:29:22,920 –> 00:29:23,141
[david_macchia]: oh

1206
00:29:23,169 –> 00:29:23,190
[paul_tyler]: h

1207
00:29:23,320 –> 00:29:25,682
[ramsey_d_smith]: you don’t have the same set of
choices so it’s

1208
00:29:25,611 –> 00:29:25,751
[david_macchia]: yeah

1209
00:29:25,742 –> 00:29:26,623
[ramsey_d_smith]: a it’s a tough problem

1210
00:29:26,335 –> 00:29:26,438
[paul_tyler]: no

1211
00:29:26,823 –> 00:29:26,984
[ramsey_d_smith]: right

1212
00:29:27,273 –> 00:29:30,078
[david_macchia]: this is really really a smart point
you bringing up because

1213
00:29:30,065 –> 00:29:30,935
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1214
00:29:30,539 –> 00:29:32,642
[david_macchia]: i remember i got a call from
a writer i won’t mention his

1215
00:29:32,550 –> 00:29:33,215
[ramsey_d_smith]: hm

1216
00:29:32,682 –> 00:29:36,388
[david_macchia]: name he read one of my articles
and he said you know i really know

1217
00:29:36,489 –> 00:29:40,762
[david_macchia]: argued with a new he’s because they’re
not inflation adjusted and you know the truth

1218
00:29:40,842 –> 00:29:41,644
[david_macchia]: is there’s no there’s

1219
00:29:41,495 –> 00:29:42,545
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1220
00:29:41,684 –> 00:29:42,545
[david_macchia]: no guarantee that

1221
00:29:42,635 –> 00:29:42,655
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1222
00:29:42,645 –> 00:29:43,487
[david_macchia]: equity portfolios

1223
00:29:43,220 –> 00:29:43,321
[paul_tyler]: no

1224
00:29:43,527 –> 00:29:44,368
[david_macchia]: are going to be inflation

1225
00:29:44,186 –> 00:29:44,287
[paul_tyler]: no

1226
00:29:44,345 –> 00:29:44,648
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1227
00:29:44,448 –> 00:29:45,169
[david_macchia]: adjusted right

1228
00:29:45,557 –> 00:29:45,618
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1229
00:29:45,790 –> 00:29:46,612
[david_macchia]: and i would rather

1230
00:29:46,514 –> 00:29:46,535
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1231
00:29:46,672 –> 00:29:47,413
[david_macchia]: have some level

1232
00:29:47,315 –> 00:29:49,085
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1233
00:29:47,493 –> 00:29:47,894
[david_macchia]: of income

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1239
00:29:51,720 –> 00:29:55,303
[david_macchia]: not inflation adjusted at least it’s tangible
at least it’s real

1240
00:29:56,114 –> 00:29:56,135
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1241
00:29:56,764 –> 00:30:00,627
[david_macchia]: and i think you know the outlook
for in general

1242
00:30:01,355 –> 00:30:01,616
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1243
00:30:01,948 –> 00:30:04,892
[david_macchia]: guaranteed income it’s going to be so
strong

00:30:05,135 –> 00:30:06,605
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1245
00:30:05,353 –> 00:30:05,955
[david_macchia]: going forward

1246
00:30:06,605 –> 00:30:07,265
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1247
00:30:06,776 –> 00:30:07,598

178

00:05:32,885 –> 00:05:33,026

[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

 

179

00:05:33,870 –> 00:05:39,800

[david_macchia]: respond to this those who genuinely want

to get back by don’t

 

180

00:05:39,875 –> 00:05:40,257

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

181

00:05:39,960 –> 00:05:42,323

[david_macchia]: in some of their time and some

of their brain power to

 

182

00:05:42,292 –> 00:05:42,494

[ramsey_d_smith]: yes

 

183

00:05:42,403 –> 00:05:43,304

[david_macchia]: people who can benefit

 

184

00:05:43,175 –> 00:05:44,495

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

185

00:05:43,364 –> 00:05:43,624

[david_macchia]: from it

 

186

00:05:44,555 –> 00:05:45,815

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

187

00:05:45,066 –> 00:05:46,307

[david_macchia]: i never really conceived of

 

188

00:05:46,295 –> 00:05:46,315

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

189

00:05:46,367 –> 00:05:48,089

[david_macchia]: it as as anything other than that

paul

 

190

00:05:48,151 –> 00:05:48,294

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

191

00:05:49,110 –> 00:05:49,651

[david_macchia]: and i don’t

 

192

00:05:49,535 –> 00:05:49,860

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

193

00:05:49,691 –> 00:05:51,494

[david_macchia]: think it will be you know we

want to

 

194

00:05:51,455 –> 00:05:51,655

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

195

00:05:51,574 –> 00:05:54,960

[david_macchia]: form this in a non profit structure

we wanted to be you know clean

 

196

00:05:54,725 –> 00:05:54,745

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

197

00:05:55,060 –> 00:05:55,701

[david_macchia]: and proper

 

198

00:05:55,805 –> 00:05:56,855

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

199

00:05:55,861 –> 00:06:02,772

[david_macchia]: and appropriate and devoted to its mission

and only its mission so i mean it

 

200

00:06:02,825 –> 00:06:03,107

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

201

00:06:02,852 –> 00:06:05,576

[david_macchia]: wouldn’t be good to have it stray

into into anything

 

202

00:06:05,435 –> 00:06:05,675

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

203

00:06:05,616 –> 00:06:07,718

[david_macchia]: that becomes more commercial let’s put it

that way

 

204

00:06:08,117 –> 00:06:12,281

[ramsey_d_smith]: so interestingly i mean in some ways

i want to take the

 

205

00:06:12,210 –> 00:06:12,432

[david_macchia]: oh

 

206

00:06:12,321 –> 00:06:14,283

[ramsey_d_smith]: other side of your point paul

 

207

00:06:14,553 –> 00:06:15,120

[david_macchia]: hm

 

208

00:06:14,612 –> 00:06:14,773

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

209

00:06:14,743 –> 00:06:14,924

[ramsey_d_smith]: right

 

210

00:06:15,560 –> 00:06:15,580

[david_macchia]: i

 

211

00:06:16,035 –> 00:06:22,546

[ramsey_d_smith]: um i think that that one of

the one of the challenges in financial advice

 

212

00:06:22,766 –> 00:06:26,813

[ramsey_d_smith]: is is that there there still is

a large part of the population that isn’t

 

213

00:06:26,913 –> 00:06:30,479

[ramsey_d_smith]: covered part of it reason it’s not

covered is a lack of understanding part of

 

214

00:06:30,539 –> 00:06:31,661

[ramsey_d_smith]: it’s a lack of trust

 

215

00:06:31,710 –> 00:06:31,911

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

216

00:06:32,562 –> 00:06:38,572

[ramsey_d_smith]: and in my mind you know an

initiative like this you know allows more people

 

217

00:06:38,632 –> 00:06:44,692

[ramsey_d_smith]: to understand one what they need to

do in their personal finances and two quite

 

218

00:06:44,752 –> 00:06:50,742

[ramsey_d_smith]: importantly kind of bifricate what part of

this can i handle myself versus o things

 

219

00:06:50,782 –> 00:06:52,565

[ramsey_d_smith]: that i might actually seek seek

 

220

00:06:52,650 –> 00:06:52,933

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

221

00:06:53,547 –> 00:06:54,148

[ramsey_d_smith]: seek seek

 

222

00:06:54,048 –> 00:06:54,150

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

223

00:06:54,228 –> 00:06:58,976

[ramsey_d_smith]: advice on so in my view like

you know if if this sort of lives

 

224

00:06:59,096 –> 00:07:04,725

[ramsey_d_smith]: out to it to its its full

potential you end up creating more potent clients

 

225

00:07:04,806 –> 00:07:08,412

[ramsey_d_smith]: down the road maybe not this year

but maybe maybe those people are clients ten

 

226

00:07:08,452 –> 00:07:11,297

[ramsey_d_smith]: years down the road for the right

for the broader community

 

227

00:07:12,000 –> 00:07:12,283

[david_macchia]: oh

 

228

00:07:12,399 –> 00:07:14,783

[ramsey_d_smith]: and you you ultimately end up potentially

cultivating

 

229

00:07:14,910 –> 00:07:15,176

[david_macchia]: yeah

 

230

00:07:15,505 –> 00:07:17,228

[ramsey_d_smith]: some some new advisors down the road

 

231

00:07:17,100 –> 00:07:17,322

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

232

00:07:17,949 –> 00:07:20,012

[ramsey_d_smith]: um one other point that i’ll put

 

233

00:07:20,010 –> 00:07:20,730

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

234

00:07:20,112 –> 00:07:20,293

[ramsey_d_smith]: on it

 

235

00:07:20,370 –> 00:07:20,611

[david_macchia]: oh

 

236

00:07:20,393 –> 00:07:24,660

[ramsey_d_smith]: is that actually think one of things

that it is often underestimated about the value

 

237

00:07:24,720 –> 00:07:28,546

[ramsey_d_smith]: of non profit work is it you

know put you in a position to work

 

238

00:07:28,607 –> 00:07:32,273

[ramsey_d_smith]: with people on something about which they’re

very passionate so the people like so so

 

239

00:07:32,323 –> 00:07:32,850

[david_macchia]: hm

 

240

00:07:32,373 –> 00:07:35,017

[ramsey_d_smith]: david you’re going to pursue this an

you’re going to end up working with other

 

241

00:07:35,077 –> 00:07:35,859

[ramsey_d_smith]: people on this and

 

242

00:07:35,970 –> 00:07:36,130

[david_macchia]: oh

 

243

00:07:36,500 –> 00:07:37,782

[ramsey_d_smith]: and my sense is your on get

to know

 

244

00:07:37,719 –> 00:07:37,860

[david_macchia]: yeah

 

245

00:07:37,842 –> 00:07:41,468

[ramsey_d_smith]: those people and there will be now

work opportunities there as well that you know

 

246

00:07:41,548 –> 00:07:42,590

[ramsey_d_smith]: create other energies so

 

247

00:07:43,230 –> 00:07:43,470

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

248

00:07:43,572 –> 00:07:48,199

[ramsey_d_smith]: i think this is a fantastic idea

who knows like what you know how all

 

249

00:07:48,090 –> 00:07:48,296

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

250

00:07:48,259 –> 00:07:50,323

[ramsey_d_smith]: those things will come out but i

actually think that

 

251

00:07:50,610 –> 00:07:50,832

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

252

00:07:51,445 –> 00:07:56,223

[ramsey_d_smith]: think it it can and end up

being commercial in a good way over the

 

253

00:07:56,283 –> 00:07:58,109

[ramsey_d_smith]: long term in a way

 

254

00:07:58,050 –> 00:07:58,770

[david_macchia]: yeah

 

255

00:07:58,129 –> 00:07:59,133

[ramsey_d_smith]: that’s beneficial to everybody

 

256

00:07:59,160 –> 00:07:59,461

[paul_tyler]: yeah no

 

257

00:07:59,703 –> 00:08:00,007

[david_macchia]: all right

 

258

00:07:59,961 –> 00:08:04,188

[paul_tyler]: listen david we talked about this a

little bit i’m not

 

259

00:08:04,174 –> 00:08:04,195

[david_macchia]: m

 

260

00:08:04,229 –> 00:08:04,850

[paul_tyler]: sure if you could hear me

 

261

00:08:04,835 –> 00:08:05,095

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

262

00:08:04,910 –> 00:08:04,970

[paul_tyler]: on

 

263

00:08:04,929 –> 00:08:04,950

[david_macchia]: m

 

264

00:08:04,990 –> 00:08:08,596

[paul_tyler]: the phone but i think it’s a

great idea if i were had

 

265

00:08:08,615 –> 00:08:08,917

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

266

00:08:08,636 –> 00:08:10,158

[paul_tyler]: an agency or a

 

267

00:08:10,145 –> 00:08:10,407

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

268

00:08:10,279 –> 00:08:17,531

[paul_tyler]: firm in a community would speak right

way give back with resources give my skills

 

269

00:08:17,611 –> 00:08:18,532

[paul_tyler]: back to the community

 

270

00:08:18,215 –> 00:08:18,235

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

271

00:08:18,592 –> 00:08:19,374

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

273

00:08:19,634 –> 00:08:26,604

[paul_tyler]: right done properly it probably does generate

a lot furls it probably engenders david is

 

274

00:08:26,684 –> 00:08:30,689

[paul_tyler]: probably one of the best brand building

things i could do in a community

 

275

00:08:32,191 –> 00:08:32,431

[david_macchia]: i think

 

276

00:08:32,310 –> 00:08:32,672

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

277

00:08:32,471 –> 00:08:35,356

[david_macchia]: that’s right i think i agree with

both of you i think it reflects

 

278

00:08:35,018 –> 00:08:35,058

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

279

00:08:35,456 –> 00:08:37,539

[david_macchia]: positively on the advisor who’s donating

 

280

00:08:37,530 –> 00:08:37,690

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

281

00:08:37,620 –> 00:08:39,403

[david_macchia]: time and trying to make a contribution

 

282

00:08:39,134 –> 00:08:39,155

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

283

00:08:39,463 –> 00:08:40,344

[david_macchia]: to his or her community

 

284

00:08:40,739 –> 00:08:40,920

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

285

00:08:41,165 –> 00:08:45,793

[david_macchia]: you know that’s absolutely true i can’t

i can’t disagree with that at all i

 

286

00:08:45,853 –> 00:08:48,978

[david_macchia]: think you’re absolutely right about it and

i’m excited and i

 

287

00:08:49,295 –> 00:08:49,577

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

288

00:08:49,299 –> 00:08:51,423

[david_macchia]: i hope like i said i hope

folks will

 

289

00:08:51,300 –> 00:08:52,050

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

290

00:08:51,483 –> 00:08:53,867

[david_macchia]: go to the website and i hope

291

00:08:53,823 –> 00:08:54,006

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

292

00:08:54,227 –> 00:08:54,928

[david_macchia]: some sponsors

 

293

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

294

00:08:55,069 –> 00:08:58,214

[david_macchia]: from the corporal level i don’t think

this can work without corporate participation

 

295

00:08:58,701 –> 00:08:58,966

[paul_tyler]: agree

 

296

00:08:59,376 –> 00:09:05,226

[david_macchia]: because the financial advisors contribution that doesn’t

need to be and shouldn’t be direct

 

297

00:09:05,015 –> 00:09:05,705

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

298

673

00:17:41,500 –> 00:17:46,488

[david_macchia]: happened since you know this bull market

has brought the index up to eight hundred

 

674

00:17:46,528 –> 00:17:48,593

[david_macchia]: and eighteen that’s literally off the charts

 

675

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

686

00:18:04,772 –> 00:18:08,939

[david_macchia]: m

 

729

00:19:03,035 –> 00:19:05,018

[paul_tyler]: as of the recording dat

 

730

00:19:04,860 –> 00:19:05,081

[david_macchia]: yes

 

748

00:19:34,013 –> 00:19:39,262

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

807

00:20:47,945 –> 00:20:47,965

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

818

00:21:00,073 –> 00:21:01,875

[david_macchia]: go back and you use that methodology

 

819

00:21:01,350 –> 00:21:02,648

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

820

00:21:01,935 –> 00:21:03,476

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

822

00:21:03,576 –> 00:21:03,776

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

824

00:21:04,577 –> 00:21:08,382

[david_macchia]: the inflation rate today is really seventeen

per cent you can see this at the

 

825

[david_macchia]: under playing how deep inflation is becoming

and if you if you walked into a

 

828

00:21:15,934 –> 00:21:16,515

[david_macchia]: super market

 

829

00:21:16,551 –> 00:21:16,652

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

830

00:21:16,575 –> 00:21:19,099

[david_macchia]: you know lately you know that’s true

are or what were were there any there

 

835

00:21:25,693 –> 00:21:29,482

[ramsey_d_smith]: one or two things that oft stood

out to explain that that big difference in

 

836

00:21:29,542 –> 00:21:29,943

[ramsey_d_smith]: measurement

 

837

00:21:30,984 –> 00:21:31,164

[david_macchia]: yeah

 

838

00:21:31,680 –> 00:21:31,921

[paul_tyler]: yah

 

839

[david_macchia]: except to

 

842

00:21:33,589 –> 00:21:33,669

[paul_tyler]: ah

 

843

00:21:33,609 –> 00:21:36,033

[david_macchia]: say that in the calculation of the

c p i

 

844

00:21:36,350 –> 00:21:37,205

[ramsey_d_smith]: hm

 

845

00:21:36,814 –> 00:21:37,535

[david_macchia]: the waiting of

 

846

00:21:37,595 –> 00:21:37,876

[ramsey_d_smith]: yah

 

847

00:21:37,595 –> 00:21:39,118

[david_macchia]: certain factors and the inclusion of

 

848

00:21:39,083 –> 00:21:39,264

[ramsey_d_smith]: yah

 

849

00:21:39,198 –> 00:21:39,418

[david_macchia]: certain

 

850

00:21:39,435 –> 00:21:39,577

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

851

00:21:39,478 –> 00:21:40,059

[david_macchia]: factors or

 

852

00:21:40,505 –> 00:21:40,625

[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

 

853

00:21:40,861 –> 00:21:41,862

[david_macchia]: is where the difference is

 

854

00:21:41,996 –> 00:21:42,318

[ramsey_d_smith]: got it

 

855

00:21:42,570 –> 00:21:42,731

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

856

00:21:42,924 –> 00:21:44,747

[david_macchia]: and i think i think there was

a there was an

 

857

00:21:44,744 –> 00:21:45,785

[ramsey_d_smith]: m oh

 

858

00:21:44,887 –> 00:21:47,792

[david_macchia]: urgency change this because when social

 

859

00:21:47,534 –> 00:21:47,555

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

860

00:21:47,852 –> 00:21:49,194

[david_macchia]: security became inflation

 

861

00:21:49,235 –> 00:21:49,498

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

862

00:21:49,255 –> 00:21:51,919

[david_macchia]: adjusted imagine if we were inflation

 

863

00:21:51,897 –> 00:21:51,958

865

00:21:52,925 –> 00:21:52,945

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

866

00:21:53,061 –> 00:21:53,522

[david_macchia]: at seventeen

 

867

00:21:53,370 –> 00:21:53,677

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

868

00:21:53,602 –> 00:21:56,087

[david_macchia]: per cent you know that would that

would have some

 

869

00:21:56,220 –> 00:21:56,381

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

870

00:21:56,495 –> 00:21:56,817

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

871

00:21:56,828 –> 00:21:58,571

[david_macchia]: significant ramifications in terms

 

872

00:21:58,355 –> 00:21:58,595

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

873

00:21:58,651 –> 00:22:00,455

[david_macchia]: of nations finances

 

874

00:22:00,600 –> 00:22:05,529

[paul_tyler]: right it’s you know inflation like inflation

is bad period i think the good news

 

875

00:22:05,569 –> 00:22:06,490

[paul_tyler]: is with our products and

 

876

00:22:06,515 –> 00:22:06,716

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

877

00:22:06,530 –> 00:22:08,614

[paul_tyler]: what we’re delivering for for consumers is

 

878

00:22:08,555 –> 00:22:08,777

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

879

00:22:08,714 –> 00:22:10,256

[paul_tyler]: it’s a good defensive play

 

880

00:22:10,119 –> 00:22:10,140

[david_macchia]: m

 

881

00:22:10,857 –> 00:22:12,460

[paul_tyler]: probably one of the best defensive play

if you’re

 

882

00:22:12,395 –> 00:22:13,325

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

883

00:22:12,500 –> 00:22:14,744

[paul_tyler]: on fixed income today so you know

my rates

 

884

00:22:14,537 –> 00:22:14,679

[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

 

885

00:22:15,285 –> 00:22:15,526

[paul_tyler]: the god

 

886

00:22:15,545 –> 00:22:15,565

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

887

00:22:15,987 –> 00:22:17,489

[paul_tyler]: like looks like word for another

 

888

00:22:17,285 –> 00:22:18,035

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

889

00:22:18,090 –> 00:22:20,375

[paul_tyler]: you know rise and rates here i

think

 

890

00:22:21,030 –> 00:22:21,050

[david_macchia]: m

 

891

00:22:21,136 –> 00:22:25,805

[paul_tyler]: you know david you know guaranteed income

will go up right because

 

892

00:22:26,615 –> 00:22:26,635

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

893

00:22:26,890 –> 00:22:28,873

[paul_tyler]: rates are going up cares can afford

to

 

894

00:22:29,075 –> 00:22:29,396

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

895

00:22:29,795 –> 00:22:31,918

[paul_tyler]: you know raise caps or participation rates

 

896

00:22:32,975 –> 00:22:33,358

[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

 

897

00:22:33,160 –> 00:22:33,601

[paul_tyler]: so i think

 

898

00:22:33,870 –> 00:22:33,890

[david_macchia]: m

 

899

00:22:34,042 –> 00:22:35,424

[paul_tyler]: from advisor perspective

 

900

00:22:35,204 –> 00:22:35,225

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

901

00:22:35,544 –> 00:22:40,054

[paul_tyler]: they’ll be able to deliver more value

on paper you know to clients up for

 

902

00:22:40,074 –> 00:22:40,155

[paul_tyler]: the

 

903

00:22:40,160 –> 00:22:40,300

[david_macchia]: think

 

904

00:22:40,175 –> 00:22:40,315

[paul_tyler]: next

 

905

00:22:40,380 –> 00:22:40,420

[david_macchia]: i

 

906

00:22:40,436 –> 00:22:40,596

[paul_tyler]: three

 

907

00:22:40,460 –> 00:22:40,621

[david_macchia]: think

 

908

00:22:40,636 –> 00:22:40,837

[paul_tyler]: months

 

909

00:22:40,661 –> 00:22:44,768

[david_macchia]: that’s true i think that’s true and

just just before we leave inflation

 

910

00:22:45,224 –> 00:22:45,595

[ramsey_d_smith]: m m

 

911

00:22:45,849 –> 00:22:45,970

[david_macchia]: is

 

912

00:22:46,410 –> 00:22:46,670

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

913

00:22:46,911 –> 00:22:48,374

[david_macchia]: i think the point should be made

it’s

 

914

00:22:48,275 –> 00:22:48,516

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

915

00:22:48,414 –> 00:22:51,659

[david_macchia]: a very cruel reality because

 

916

00:22:51,960 –> 00:22:52,121

[paul_tyler]: it

 

917

00:22:52,220 –> 00:22:53,081

[david_macchia]: it hurts people

 

918

00:22:52,955 –> 00:22:53,403

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

919

00:22:53,162 –> 00:22:57,949

[david_macchia]: on fixed incomes it hurts people with

low incomes so much higher so much harder

 

920

00:22:58,010 –> 00:23:02,076

[david_macchia]: than than it hurts other people just

the gas tank you know and food just

 

921

00:23:02,156 –> 00:23:05,142

[david_macchia]: just gas and food i rocketed so

much

 

922

00:23:05,135 –> 00:23:05,475

[ramsey_d_smith]: my

 

923

00:23:07,566 –> 00:23:09,970

[david_macchia]: i don’t know if what the fat

is doing is the right policy of the

 

924

00:23:10,010 –> 00:23:11,553

[david_macchia]: wrong policy honestly i wish i knew

 

925

00:23:11,705 –> 00:23:11,987

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

926

00:23:12,395 –> 00:23:13,937

[david_macchia]: but we have to get inflation

 

927

00:23:13,829 –> 00:23:14,010

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

928

00:23:13,904 –> 00:23:13,925

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

929

00:23:13,998 –> 00:23:14,498

[david_macchia]: of the control

 

930

00:23:14,790 –> 00:23:14,890

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

931

00:23:15,310 –> 00:23:17,355

[david_macchia]: because it’s like it’s like a huge

extra tax

 

932

00:23:17,700 –> 00:23:18,630

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

933

00:23:18,077 –> 00:23:22,488

[david_macchia]: on people that’s that’s just totally destructive

to their personal financial health

 

934

00:23:23,111 –> 00:23:23,512

[paul_tyler]: yeah now

 

935

00:23:23,495 –> 00:23:23,978

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

936

00:23:24,553 –> 00:23:25,395

[paul_tyler]: my perspective

 

937

00:23:25,525 –> 00:23:25,666

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

938

00:23:25,655 –> 00:23:25,875

[paul_tyler]: is

 

939

00:23:26,910 –> 00:23:27,990

[david_macchia]: yeah

 

940

00:23:26,917 –> 00:23:27,498

[paul_tyler]: it’s global

 

941

00:23:27,305 –> 00:23:28,385

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

942

00:23:27,658 –> 00:23:28,680

[paul_tyler]: i mean a lot of people you

 

943

00:23:28,625 –> 00:23:28,928

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

944

00:23:28,860 –> 00:23:34,730

[paul_tyler]: want to blame our administration you listen

politicians have some impact you know can make

 

945

00:23:34,790 –> 00:23:41,622

[paul_tyler]: it worse make you now hard to

say than like better but our ports i

 

946

00:23:41,682 –> 00:23:41,882

[paul_tyler]: mean

 

947

00:23:42,305 –> 00:23:42,565

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

948

00:23:42,744 –> 00:23:44,547

[paul_tyler]: this the supply chain problem is

 

949

00:23:44,854 –> 00:23:44,954

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

950

00:23:45,188 –> 00:23:46,189

[paul_tyler]: going to go away right

 

951

00:23:46,085 –> 00:23:46,326

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

952

00:23:46,790 –> 00:23:49,695

[paul_tyler]: if you look at the us if

you look at the efficiency of the us

 

953

00:23:49,815 –> 00:23:50,256

[paul_tyler]: ports

 

954

00:23:50,615 –> 00:23:50,736

[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

 

955

00:23:51,258 –> 00:23:55,505

[paul_tyler]: um we’re not like you know we

were not in sort of

 

956

00:23:55,484 –> 00:23:55,505

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

957

00:23:55,545 –> 00:23:59,572

[paul_tyler]: the top twenty to twenty five most

efficient and

 

958

00:23:59,915 –> 00:23:59,935

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

959

00:24:00,012 –> 00:24:05,031

[paul_tyler]: imports of goods coming in so we

got a real bottle neck that going to

 

960

00:24:05,091 –> 00:24:08,521

[paul_tyler]: take a long time to change if

we can easily change it right because

 

961

00:24:08,495 –> 00:24:08,835

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

962

00:24:09,043 –> 00:24:15,914

[paul_tyler]: ships come into california southern california you

can’t build rails and highways through expensive real

 

963

00:24:15,954 –> 00:24:17,416

[paul_tyler]: estate her california

 

964

00:24:17,615 –> 00:24:17,836

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

965

00:24:17,796 –> 00:24:18,717

[paul_tyler]: to get goods out quicker

 

966

00:24:20,080 –> 00:24:20,561

[david_macchia]: that’s true

 

967

00:24:20,705 –> 00:24:20,725

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

968

00:24:20,982 –> 00:24:24,910

[david_macchia]: and i think one area though the

gummy can make a difference for good or

 

969

00:24:24,970 –> 00:24:28,638

[david_macchia]: bad is that i think we’ve had

a lot of increased regulation lately

 

970

00:24:28,835 –> 00:24:29,177

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

971

00:24:29,470 –> 00:24:34,780

[david_macchia]: which has had a detrimental impact on

the supply chain but you’re right it’s a

 

972

00:24:34,840 –> 00:24:36,523

[david_macchia]: really complex set of problems

 

973

00:24:36,261 –> 00:24:36,642

[paul_tyler]: well you know

 

974

00:24:36,766 –> 00:24:36,926

[ramsey_d_smith]: well

 

975

00:24:36,964 –> 00:24:37,425

[david_macchia]: it’s really

 

976

00:24:37,464 –> 00:24:37,605

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

977

00:24:37,525 –> 00:24:37,846

[david_macchia]: come

 

978

00:24:37,925 –> 00:24:38,186

[paul_tyler]: brands

 

979

00:24:38,609 –> 00:24:40,392

[ramsey_d_smith]: i was i was just going to

say that i’m gonna i’m gonna

 

980

00:24:40,380 –> 00:24:40,662

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

981

00:24:40,452 –> 00:24:43,257

[ramsey_d_smith]: hark back to something that i

 

982

00:24:43,260 –> 00:24:43,543

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

983

00:24:43,297 –> 00:24:43,717

[ramsey_d_smith]: don’t know if you

 

984

00:24:43,950 –> 00:24:44,254

[david_macchia]: oh

 

985

00:24:44,038 –> 00:24:45,941

[ramsey_d_smith]: if you said it in the in

the pre show or

 

986

00:24:46,290 –> 00:24:46,512

[david_macchia]: oh

 

987

00:24:46,562 –> 00:24:50,168

[ramsey_d_smith]: we were talking about travel and you

talk the fragility the fragility of

 

988

00:24:50,550 –> 00:24:50,570

[david_macchia]: m

 

989

00:24:50,849 –> 00:24:52,873

[ramsey_d_smith]: the air transport system and so we’re

 

990

00:24:52,840 –> 00:24:53,004

[david_macchia]: yep

 

991

00:24:52,953 –> 00:24:53,333

[ramsey_d_smith]: seeing that

 

992

00:24:53,250 –> 00:24:53,410

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

993

00:24:53,394 –> 00:24:57,661

[ramsey_d_smith]: same kind of fragility and a supply

chain that was sending things just in time

 

994

00:24:57,721 –> 00:24:59,924

[ramsey_d_smith]: from somewhere in the far east you

know

 

995

00:25:00,020 –> 00:25:00,221

[david_macchia]: right

 

996

00:25:00,085 –> 00:25:00,465

[ramsey_d_smith]: your kitchen

 

997

00:25:00,409 –> 00:25:00,510

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

998

00:25:00,566 –> 00:25:02,729

[ramsey_d_smith]: table in a in a remarkably

 

999

00:25:02,730 –> 00:25:02,750

[david_macchia]: m

 

1000

00:25:02,769 –> 00:25:03,390

[ramsey_d_smith]: efficient way

 

1001

00:25:03,900 –> 00:25:05,460

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1002

00:25:04,592 –> 00:25:08,078

[ramsey_d_smith]: my sense paul to your point is

that ultimately the

 

1003

00:25:08,070 –> 00:25:08,330

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

1004

00:25:08,138 –> 00:25:08,799

[ramsey_d_smith]: solution to

 

1005

00:25:08,700 –> 00:25:09,480

[david_macchia]: oh

 

1006

00:25:09,961 –> 00:25:12,225

[ramsey_d_smith]: supply chain problems that are that are

glow bill

 

1007

00:25:12,185 –> 00:25:12,226

[paul_tyler]: a

 

1008

00:25:12,445 –> 00:25:13,407

[ramsey_d_smith]: is to deglobalize

 

1009

00:25:13,312 –> 00:25:13,800

[paul_tyler]: right

 

1010

00:25:13,447 –> 00:25:15,010

[ramsey_d_smith]: them so it seems like both

 

1011

00:25:15,090 –> 00:25:15,350

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

1012

00:25:15,090 –> 00:25:18,556

[ramsey_d_smith]: politically and economically you know we’re probably

headed towards some degree

 

1013

00:25:18,579 –> 00:25:18,739

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1014

00:25:18,616 –> 00:25:19,958

[ramsey_d_smith]: of deglobalization

 

1015

00:25:19,680 –> 00:25:19,700

[david_macchia]: m

 

1016

00:25:19,774 –> 00:25:19,856

[paul_tyler]: ah

 

1017

00:25:20,138 –> 00:25:23,263

[ramsey_d_smith]: that’s going to take time that will

actually also be inflation ary here in the

 

1018

00:25:23,343 –> 00:25:24,785

[ramsey_d_smith]: u s probably

 

1019

00:25:25,010 –> 00:25:25,491

[david_macchia]: absolutely

 

1020

00:25:25,466 –> 00:25:26,107

[ramsey_d_smith]: going forward

 

1021

00:25:26,112 –> 00:25:26,193

[paul_tyler]: ah

 

1022

00:25:26,507 –> 00:25:30,171

[ramsey_d_smith]: but it’s hard to see it’s hard

to see given national security and all sorts

 

1023

00:25:30,191 –> 00:25:33,574

[ramsey_d_smith]: of other reasons why why wouldn’t why

we wouldn’t head in that direction

 

1024

00:25:33,710 –> 00:25:34,312

[paul_tyler]: well you know there’s

 

1025

00:25:34,200 –> 00:25:35,130

[david_macchia]: oh

 

1026

00:25:34,673 –> 00:25:36,278

[paul_tyler]: a there’s a big time element too

so

 

1027

00:25:36,425 –> 00:25:36,445

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1028

00:25:36,739 –> 00:25:37,201

[paul_tyler]: you i’ve seen a

 

1029

00:25:37,235 –> 00:25:37,895

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

1030

00:25:37,261 –> 00:25:43,635

[paul_tyler]: lot of ship manufactures announced launching saying

chip plants

 

1031

00:25:43,715 –> 00:25:43,956

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1032

00:25:43,876 –> 00:25:48,684

[paul_tyler]: outside china v i think i read

a few areas people go into different parts

 

1033

00:25:48,724 –> 00:25:50,647

[paul_tyler]: of south east age but david that

takes

 

1034

00:25:50,744 –> 00:25:50,765

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1035

00:25:51,028 –> 00:25:51,969

[paul_tyler]: two years to get a

 

1036

00:25:51,965 –> 00:25:52,226

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1037

00:25:52,029 –> 00:25:52,653

[paul_tyler]: play up and

 

1038

00:25:52,681 –> 00:25:52,761

[david_macchia]: oh

 

1039

00:25:52,693 –> 00:25:52,955

[paul_tyler]: running

 

1040

00:25:52,821 –> 00:25:53,883

[david_macchia]: yeah and and

 

1041

00:25:54,035 –> 00:25:54,685

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1042

00:25:54,063 –> 00:25:58,971

[david_macchia]: and also in the u s building

more chip manufacturing here but you’re right ramsey

 

1043

00:25:59,072 –> 00:26:00,434

[david_macchia]: i think people underestimate

 

1044

00:26:00,300 –> 00:26:00,929

[paul_tyler]: ye

 

1045

00:26:00,514 –> 00:26:03,840

[david_macchia]: how massively deflationary globalization was

 

1046

00:26:04,140 –> 00:26:05,190

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

1047

00:26:05,482 –> 00:26:08,006

[david_macchia]: and any incremental change in that

 

1048

00:26:08,790 –> 00:26:09,010

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1049

00:26:09,048 –> 00:26:10,190

[david_macchia]: any bringing back the

 

1050

00:26:10,124 –> 00:26:10,145

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1051

00:26:10,290 –> 00:26:11,693

[david_macchia]: manufacturing to our

 

1052

00:26:11,765 –> 00:26:11,785

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1053

00:26:11,793 –> 00:26:13,435

[david_macchia]: shores is probably

 

1054

00:26:13,169 –> 00:26:13,350

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1055

00:26:13,516 –> 00:26:15,259

[david_macchia]: good for our national security

 

1056

00:26:15,014 –> 00:26:15,035

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1057

00:26:15,319 –> 00:26:16,160

[david_macchia]: but will

 

1058

00:26:16,085 –> 00:26:16,226

[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

 

1059

00:26:16,221 –> 00:26:17,244

[david_macchia]: be you know

 

1060

00:26:17,225 –> 00:26:18,155

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

1061

00:26:17,745 –> 00:26:19,530

[david_macchia]: sort of boosting inflation

 

1062

00:26:19,214 –> 00:26:20,225

[ramsey_d_smith]: m yeah

 

1063

00:26:19,691 –> 00:26:21,195

[david_macchia]: boosting price increases generally

 

1064

00:26:21,110 –> 00:26:21,250

[paul_tyler]: well

 

1065

00:26:21,164 –> 00:26:21,185

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1066

00:26:21,330 –> 00:26:21,490

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1067

00:26:21,416 –> 00:26:21,476

[david_macchia]: it

 

1068

00:26:21,446 –> 00:26:21,587

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

1069

00:26:21,536 –> 00:26:21,877

[david_macchia]: has to

 

1070

00:26:22,151 –> 00:26:22,472

[paul_tyler]: well yeah

 

1071

00:26:22,595 –> 00:26:22,935

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1072

00:26:22,833 –> 00:26:27,721

[paul_tyler]: i would say i’d be more pointed

david it’s china was as much as we

 

1073

00:26:27,881 –> 00:26:28,081

[paul_tyler]: were

 

1074

00:26:28,080 –> 00:26:28,800

[david_macchia]: yeah

 

1075

00:26:28,722 –> 00:26:29,023

[paul_tyler]: concerned

 

1076

00:26:28,860 –> 00:26:29,002

[david_macchia]: yeah

 

1077

00:26:29,063 –> 00:26:35,233

[paul_tyler]: about losing jobs to china you know

china at a massive flationary effect on our

 

1078

00:26:35,674 –> 00:26:36,535

[paul_tyler]: economy right

 

1079

00:26:36,590 –> 00:26:37,496

[david_macchia]: eh

 

1080

00:26:37,196 –> 00:26:38,138

[paul_tyler]: cut the price of tables

 

1081

00:26:38,165 –> 00:26:38,365

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1082

00:26:38,198 –> 00:26:42,125

[paul_tyler]: chairs you know everything stayed at a

reasonable price in china all of a sudden

 

1083

00:26:42,205 –> 00:26:42,866

[paul_tyler]: slows down

 

1084

00:26:43,385 –> 00:26:43,625

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

1085

00:26:43,607 –> 00:26:46,472

[paul_tyler]: they’ve got real estate problems they’ve had

they’ve been shut

 

1086

00:26:46,380 –> 00:26:46,602

[david_macchia]: oh

 

1087

00:26:46,512 –> 00:26:47,633

[paul_tyler]: down even more than we have

 

1088

00:26:47,814 –> 00:26:48,034

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

1089

00:26:48,054 –> 00:26:48,254

[paul_tyler]: for

 

1090

00:26:48,317 –> 00:26:48,540

[david_macchia]: yeah

 

1091

00:26:48,615 –> 00:26:49,516

[paul_tyler]: you know the pandemic

 

1092

00:26:50,555 –> 00:26:50,859

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1093

00:26:50,658 –> 00:26:55,365

[paul_tyler]: um and there’s a limit to how

you know they can’t cut prices anymore so

 

1094

00:26:55,274 –> 00:26:55,295

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1095

00:26:55,425 –> 00:26:59,112

[paul_tyler]: tally where it feels like we’re in

a storm that’s going to last

 

1096

00:26:59,096 –> 00:26:59,218

[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

 

1097

00:26:59,672 –> 00:27:00,534

[paul_tyler]: unfortunately for a few

 

1098

00:27:00,425 –> 00:27:00,666

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1099

00:27:00,614 –> 00:27:00,874

[paul_tyler]: years

 

1100

00:27:03,441 –> 00:27:04,022

[david_macchia]: i think you’re right

 

1101

00:27:03,900 –> 00:27:04,161

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1102

00:27:04,445 –> 00:27:04,767

00:27:05,889 –> 00:27:06,069

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1105

00:27:05,905 –> 00:27:07,047

[david_macchia]: to it but there’s no

 

1106

00:27:06,973 –> 00:27:07,096

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

1107

00:27:07,207 –> 00:27:07,688

[david_macchia]: easy answer

 

1108

00:27:07,565 –> 00:27:08,248

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1109

00:27:07,748 –> 00:27:09,050

[david_macchia]: to it and how are

 

1110

00:27:09,000 –> 00:27:09,750

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

1111

00:27:09,070 –> 00:27:10,172

[david_macchia]: we going to generate economic

 

1112

00:27:09,941 –> 00:27:10,189

[paul_tyler]: okay

 

1113

00:27:09,995 –> 00:27:10,256

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1114

00:27:10,232 –> 00:27:12,676

[david_macchia]: growth is another thing i mean you

know the fed

 

1115

00:27:12,750 –> 00:27:12,933

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1116

00:27:12,776 –> 00:27:13,858

[david_macchia]: can’t keep printing money

 

1117

00:27:14,071 –> 00:27:14,273

[paul_tyler]: right

 

1118

00:27:14,239 –> 00:27:14,659

[david_macchia]: there there

 

1119

00:27:14,525 –> 00:27:15,635

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

1120

00:27:14,940 –> 00:27:16,723

[david_macchia]: tighten the tightening they’re going the other

way

 

1121

00:27:17,525 –> 00:27:17,545

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1122

00:27:17,684 –> 00:27:23,474

[david_macchia]: and you know since o eight before

o eight from from nineteen sixty eight when

 

1123

00:27:23,554 –> 00:27:27,501

[david_macchia]: when we got the legislation was passed

to get us off the goal standard right

 

1124

00:27:28,682 –> 00:27:29,484

[david_macchia]: up to two thousand

 

1125

00:27:29,490 –> 00:27:29,692

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1126

00:27:29,544 –> 00:27:30,766

[david_macchia]: eight economic

 

1127

00:27:30,660 –> 00:27:30,981

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

1128

00:27:30,846 –> 00:27:35,503

[david_macchia]: growth in this country was driven by

credit so we had one trillion of total

 

1129

00:27:35,563 –> 00:27:38,708

[david_macchia]: credit in the economy in nineteen sixty

eight by two thousand it we had ninety

 

1130

00:27:38,788 –> 00:27:40,992

[david_macchia]: times that we had ninety trillion that’s

 

1131

00:27:40,895 –> 00:27:42,125

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

1132

00:27:41,032 –> 00:27:42,214

[david_macchia]: what drove the economic

 

1133

00:27:42,185 –> 00:27:42,205

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1134

00:27:42,274 –> 00:27:43,376

[david_macchia]: growth since

 

1135

00:27:43,544 –> 00:27:43,565

[ramsey_d_smith]: h

 

1136

00:27:43,556 –> 00:27:43,596

[david_macchia]: o

 

1137

00:27:43,560 –> 00:27:43,763

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1138

00:27:43,776 –> 00:27:44,958

[david_macchia]: eight credit growth

 

1139

00:27:44,820 –> 00:27:45,063

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

1140

00:27:45,019 –> 00:27:45,419

[david_macchia]: slowed

 

1141

00:27:45,524 –> 00:27:45,545

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1142

00:27:45,840 –> 00:27:46,761

[david_macchia]: so the government stepped

 

1143

00:27:46,724 –> 00:27:46,745

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1144

00:27:46,842 –> 00:27:48,464

[david_macchia]: in with massive physical stimulus

 

1145

00:27:48,227 –> 00:27:48,288

[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

 

1146

00:27:48,544 –> 00:27:50,027

[david_macchia]: and federal reserve stepped in with

 

1147

00:27:49,964 –> 00:27:49,985

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1148

00:27:50,167 –> 00:27:53,332

[david_macchia]: you know this huge money printing thing

that can’t

 

1149

00:27:53,165 –> 00:27:53,467

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1150

00:27:53,713 –> 00:27:56,418

[david_macchia]: keep going so i’m not sure what

happens

 

1151

00:27:56,405 –> 00:27:56,646

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1152

00:27:56,498 –> 00:27:57,579

[david_macchia]: next to generate

 

1153

00:27:57,330 –> 00:27:58,260

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1154

00:27:57,660 –> 00:27:59,962

[david_macchia]: economic growth especially under these conditions

 

1155

00:27:59,675 –> 00:27:59,896

[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

 

1156

00:28:00,763 –> 00:28:02,625

[david_macchia]: and i think we’re seeing that reality

reflected

 

1157

00:28:02,465 –> 00:28:03,485

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

1158

00:28:02,705 –> 00:28:04,987

[david_macchia]: an asset price is starting to you

now come back to the

 

1159

00:28:05,384 –> 00:28:05,405

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1160

00:28:05,988 –> 00:28:06,729

[david_macchia]: more normal level

 

1161

00:28:07,396 –> 00:28:09,119

[ramsey_d_smith]: well that’s that’s the thin that’s been

interesting you know

 

1162

00:28:09,840 –> 00:28:10,042

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1163

00:28:10,461 –> 00:28:12,064

[ramsey_d_smith]: a lot of the push back on

on

 

1164

00:28:12,510 –> 00:28:12,851

[david_macchia]: oh

 

1165

00:28:12,885 –> 00:28:17,573

[ramsey_d_smith]: on annuities has been you know around

inflation protection and people say he put more

 

1166

00:28:17,613 –> 00:28:20,938

[ramsey_d_smith]: money in equities in like i spent

a whole career in equity so i understand

 

1167

00:28:20,999 –> 00:28:22,441

[ramsey_d_smith]: that i understand

 

1168

00:28:22,213 –> 00:28:22,800

[david_macchia]: hm

 

1169

00:28:23,220 –> 00:28:23,401

[paul_tyler]: yeah

 

1170

00:28:23,463 –> 00:28:27,069

[ramsey_d_smith]: the value proposition there i think i

think for many years it’s been very real

 

1171

00:28:28,170 –> 00:28:32,798

[ramsey_d_smith]: the challenge that we have now is

that you know pricing for companies is often

 

1172

00:28:32,898 –> 00:28:33,559

[ramsey_d_smith]: most prevalent

 

1173

00:28:33,812 –> 00:28:33,997

[paul_tyler]: yes

 

1174

00:28:33,980 –> 00:28:34,181

[ramsey_d_smith]: when

 

1175

00:28:34,479 –> 00:28:34,580

[david_macchia]: m m

 

1176

00:28:34,701 –> 00:28:37,847

[ramsey_d_smith]: you know when they have when when

they

 

1177

00:28:37,770 –> 00:28:37,790

[david_macchia]: m

 

1178

00:28:37,887 –> 00:28:38,768

[ramsey_d_smith]: have plenty of supply

 

1179

00:28:38,793 –> 00:28:38,814

[paul_tyler]: i

 

1180

00:28:38,908 –> 00:28:41,853

[ramsey_d_smith]: but they’ve got sort of a demand

shock that’s favorable to them

 

1181

00:28:41,820 –> 00:28:41,840

[david_macchia]: m

 

1182

00:28:42,354 –> 00:28:42,575

[ramsey_d_smith]: but now

 

1183

00:28:42,622 –> 00:28:42,828

[paul_tyler]: okay

 

1184

00:28:42,635 –> 00:28:45,860

[ramsey_d_smith]: we have this issue that things are

happening on the supply side so even if

 

1185

00:28:45,940 –> 00:28:48,705

[ramsey_d_smith]: prices are going up if you can’t

deliver the product

 

1186

00:28:48,360 –> 00:28:48,664

[paul_tyler]: oh

 

1187

00:28:49,105 –> 00:28:49,807

[ramsey_d_smith]: it’s not giving you

 

1188

00:28:49,845 –> 00:28:49,865

[david_macchia]: m

 

1189

00:28:49,867 –> 00:28:52,351

[ramsey_d_smith]: the excess profit you would have otherwise

given

 

1190

00:28:52,420 –> 00:28:53,326

[david_macchia]: right right

 

1191

00:28:53,312 –> 00:28:56,037

[ramsey_d_smith]: and so so it shouldn’t come as

a surprise

 

1192

00:28:55,893 –> 00:28:55,914

[paul_tyler]: i

 

1193

00:28:56,097 –> 00:29:02,327

[ramsey_d_smith]: that like equities have been you ve

been suffering in this current environment and so

 

1194

00:29:02,848 –> 00:29:05,192

[ramsey_d_smith]: you know what does that mean it’s

it’s one thing if you say well if

 

1195

00:29:05,252 –> 00:29:09,539

[ramsey_d_smith]: i get you know our per cent

four per cent on my my annuity that’s

 

1196

00:29:09,580 –> 00:29:11,503

[ramsey_d_smith]: not keeping up with ten per cent

inflation will being down

 

1197

00:29:11,550 –> 00:29:11,570

[david_macchia]: m

 

1198

00:29:11,683 –> 00:29:16,010

[ramsey_d_smith]: twenty per cent in your equity portfolio

isn’t helping that either you know if you’re

 

1199

00:29:16,050 –> 00:29:16,711

[david_macchia]: that’s right

 

1200

00:29:16,731 –> 00:29:19,716

[ramsey_d_smith]: if you’re if you’re in decumulations if

you’re an accumulation

 

1201

00:29:19,500 –> 00:29:19,740

[paul_tyler]: yah

 

1202

00:29:19,876 –> 00:29:21,518

[ramsey_d_smith]: you can weigh it out but if

you’re in the

 

1203

00:29:21,470 –> 00:29:21,632

[david_macchia]: yeah

 

1204

00:29:21,578 –> 00:29:22,959

[ramsey_d_smith]: accumulation phase like you don’t

 

1205

00:29:22,920 –> 00:29:23,141

[david_macchia]: oh

 

1206

00:29:23,169 –> 00:29:23,190

[paul_tyler]: h

 

1207

00:29:23,320 –> 00:29:25,682

[ramsey_d_smith]: you don’t have the same set of

choices so it’s

 

1208

00:29:25,611 –> 00:29:25,751

[david_macchia]: yeah

 

1209

00:29:25,742 –> 00:29:26,623

[ramsey_d_smith]: a it’s a tough problem

 

1210

00:29:26,335 –> 00:29:26,438

[paul_tyler]: no

 

1211

00:29:26,823 –> 00:29:26,984

[ramsey_d_smith]: right

 

1212

and he said you know i really know

 

1217

00:29:36,489 –> 00:29:40,762

[david_macchia]: argued with a new he’s because they’re

not inflation adjusted and you know the truth

 

1218

[ramsey_d_smith]: m

 

1241

00:29:56,764 –> 00:30:00,627

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

 

1249

00:30:08,620 –> 00:30:12,046

00:02:27,977 –> 00:02:33,546
[david_macchia]: i became over time and the idea
of project six thousand minutes is a way

73
00:02:33,807 –> 00:02:40,498
[david_macchia]: for people to help contribute to building
a more equitable society specifically project six thousand

74
00:02:40,350 –> 00:02:40,593

[david_macchia]: women from undeserved communities who need basic
financial education well you say well how would

00:02:57,035 –> 00:02:57,297
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

82
00:02:57,203 –> 00:03:02,728

00:03:02,808 –> 00:03:04,309
[david_macchia]: of wisdom that’s unmatched

85
00:03:04,020 –> 00:03:04,323
[paul_tyler]: yeah

86
00:03:05,340 –> 00:03:10,930
[david_macchia]: so the idea of project six thousand
minutes as advisors would donate two hours per

87
00:03:11,050 –> 00:03:12,232
[david_macchia]: week of their time

88
00:03:12,245 –> 00:03:12,546

[david_macchia]: online or online and by doing that
we can leverage the financial advisor community in

94
00:03:26,796 –> 00:03:31,185
[david_macchia]: a way that will help really build
a more the bow and stronger society the

[paul_tyler]: oh

97
00:03:32,749 –> 00:03:33,952
[david_macchia]: comes from the idea that

98
00:03:33,840 –> 00:03:34,103
[paul_tyler]: my

99
00:03:34,292 –> 00:03:35,415
[david_macchia]: if an advisor

100
00:03:34,964 –> 00:03:34,985
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

101
00:03:35,535 –> 00:03:40,076
[david_macchia]: devotes two hours per week over the
cost of fifty weeks that’s six thousand minutes

102
00:03:41,045 –> 00:03:41,246

[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

105
00:03:42,932 –> 00:03:46,316
[david_macchia]: we are able to get this off
the ground successfully and have a large number

106
00:03:46,356 –> 00:03:47,437
[david_macchia]: of financial advisors

107
00:03:47,430 –> 00:03:47,730

00:05:39,960 –> 00:05:42,323
[david_macchia]: in some of their time and some
of their brain power to

00:05:42,292 –> 00:05:42,494
[ramsey_d_smith]: yes

183
00:05:42,403 –> 00:05:43,304
[david_macchia]: people who can benefit

00:05:43,364 –> 00:05:43,624
[david_macchia]: from it

186
00:05:44,555 –> 00:05:45,815
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

187
00:05:45,066 –> 00:05:46,307
[david_macchia]: i never really conceived of

188
00:05:46,295 –> 00:05:46,315
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

189
00:05:46,367 –> 00:05:48,089
[david_macchia]: it as as anything other than that
paul

190
00:05:48,151 –> 00:05:48,294
[paul_tyler]: yeah

191
00:05:49,110 –> 00:05:49,651
[david_macchia]: and i don’t

192
00:05:49,535 –> 00:05:49,860
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

193
00:05:49,691 –> 00:05:51,494
[david_macchia]: think it will be you know we
want to

194
00:05:51,455 –> 00:05:51,655
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

195
00:05:51,574 –> 00:05:54,960
[david_macchia]: form this in a non profit structure
we wanted to be you know clean

196
00:05:54,725 –> 00:05:54,745
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

197
00:05:55,060 –> 00:05:55,701
[david_macchia]: and proper

198
00:05:55,805 –> 00:05:56,855
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

199
00:05:55,861 –> 00:06:02,772
[david_macchia]: and appropriate and devoted to its mission
and only its mission so i mean it

200
00:06:02,825 –> 00:06:03,107
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

201
00:06:02,852 –> 00:06:05,576
[david_macchia]: wouldn’t be good to have it stray
into into anything

202
00:06:05,435 –> 00:06:05,675
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

203
00:06:05,616 –> 00:06:07,718
[david_macchia]: that becomes more commercial let’s put it
that way

204
00:06:08,117 –> 00:06:12,281
[ramsey_d_smith]: so interestingly i mean in some ways
i want to take the

205
00:06:12,210 –> 00:06:12,432
[david_macchia]: oh

206
00:06:12,321 –> 00:06:14,283
[ramsey_d_smith]: other side of your point paul

207
00:06:14,553 –> 00:06:15,120
[david_macchia]: hm

208
00:06:14,612 –> 00:06:14,773
[paul_tyler]: yeah

209
00:06:14,743 –> 00:06:14,924
[ramsey_d_smith]: right

210
00:06:15,560 –> 00:06:15,580
[david_macchia]: i

211
00:06:16,035 –> 00:06:22,546
[ramsey_d_smith]: um i think that that one of
the one of the challenges in financial advice

212
00:06:22,766 –> 00:06:26,813
[ramsey_d_smith]: is is that there there still is
a large part of the population that isn’t

213
00:06:26,913 –> 00:06:30,479
[ramsey_d_smith]: covered part of it reason it’s not
covered is a lack of understanding part of

214
00:06:30,539 –> 00:06:31,661
[ramsey_d_smith]: it’s a lack of trust

215
00:06:31,710 –> 00:06:31,911
[paul_tyler]: yeah

216
00:06:32,562 –> 00:06:38,572
[ramsey_d_smith]: and in my mind you know an
initiative like this you know allows more people

217
00:06:38,632 –> 00:06:44,692
[ramsey_d_smith]: to understand one what they need to
do in their personal finances and two quite

218
00:06:44,752 –> 00:06:50,742
[ramsey_d_smith]: importantly kind of bifricate what part of
this can i handle myself versus o things

219
00:06:50,782 –> 00:06:52,565
[ramsey_d_smith]: that i might actually seek seek

220
00:06:52,650 –> 00:06:52,933
[paul_tyler]: yeah

221
00:06:53,547 –> 00:06:54,148
[ramsey_d_smith]: seek seek

222
00:06:54,048 –> 00:06:54,150
[paul_tyler]: yeah

223
00:06:54,228 –> 00:06:58,976
[ramsey_d_smith]: advice on so in my view like
you know if if this sort of lives

224
00:06:59,096 –> 00:07:04,725
[ramsey_d_smith]: out to it to its its full
potential you end up creating more potent clients

225
00:07:04,806 –> 00:07:08,412
[ramsey_d_smith]: down the road maybe not this year
but maybe maybe those people are clients ten

226
00:07:08,452 –> 00:07:11,297
[ramsey_d_smith]: years down the road for the right
for the broader community

227
00:07:12,000 –> 00:07:12,283
[david_macchia]: oh

228
00:07:12,399 –> 00:07:14,783
[ramsey_d_smith]: and you you ultimately end up potentially
cultivating

229
00:07:14,910 –> 00:07:15,176
[david_macchia]: yeah

230
00:07:15,505 –> 00:07:17,228
[ramsey_d_smith]: some some new advisors down the road

231
00:07:17,100 –> 00:07:17,322
[paul_tyler]: oh

232
00:07:17,949 –> 00:07:20,012
[ramsey_d_smith]: um one other point that i’ll put

233
00:07:20,010 –> 00:07:20,730
[paul_tyler]: yeah

234
00:07:20,112 –> 00:07:20,293
[ramsey_d_smith]: on it

235
00:07:20,370 –> 00:07:20,611
[david_macchia]: oh

236
00:07:20,393 –> 00:07:24,660
[ramsey_d_smith]: is that actually think one of things
that it is often underestimated about the value

237
00:07:24,720 –> 00:07:28,546
[ramsey_d_smith]: of non profit work is it you
know put you in a position to work

238
00:07:28,607 –> 00:07:32,273
[ramsey_d_smith]: with people on something about which they’re
very passionate so the people like so so

239
00:07:32,323 –> 00:07:32,850
[david_macchia]: hm

240
00:07:32,373 –> 00:07:35,017
[ramsey_d_smith]: david you’re going to pursue this an
you’re going to end up working with other

241
00:07:35,077 –> 00:07:35,859
[ramsey_d_smith]: people on this and

242
00:07:35,970 –> 00:07:36,130
[david_macchia]: oh

243
00:07:36,500 –> 00:07:37,782
[ramsey_d_smith]: and my sense is your on get
to know

244
00:07:37,719 –> 00:07:37,860
[david_macchia]: yeah

245
00:07:37,842 –> 00:07:41,468
[ramsey_d_smith]: those people and there will be now
work opportunities there as well that you know

246
00:07:41,548 –> 00:07:42,590
[ramsey_d_smith]: create other energies so

247
00:07:43,230 –> 00:07:43,470
[paul_tyler]: yeah

248
00:07:43,572 –> 00:07:48,199
[ramsey_d_smith]: i think this is a fantastic idea
who knows like what you know how all

249
00:07:48,090 –> 00:07:48,296
[paul_tyler]: oh

250
00:07:48,259 –> 00:07:50,323
[ramsey_d_smith]: those things will come out but i
actually think that

251
00:07:50,610 –> 00:07:50,832
[paul_tyler]: yeah

252
00:07:51,445 –> 00:07:56,223
[ramsey_d_smith]: think it it can and end up
being commercial in a good way over the

253
00:07:56,283 –> 00:07:58,109
[ramsey_d_smith]: long term in a way

254
00:07:58,050 –> 00:07:58,770
[david_macchia]: yeah

255
00:07:58,129 –> 00:07:59,133
[ramsey_d_smith]: that’s beneficial to everybody

256
00:07:59,160 –> 00:07:59,461
[paul_tyler]: yeah no

257
00:07:59,703 –> 00:08:00,007
[david_macchia]: all right

00:08:04,929 –> 00:08:04,950
[david_macchia]: m

264
00:08:04,990 –> 00:08:08,596
[paul_tyler]: the phone but i think it’s a
great idea if i were had

00:08:08,615 –> 00:08:08,917
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

266
00:08:08,636 –> 00:08:10,158
[paul_tyler]: an agency or a

267
00:08:10,145 –> 00:08:10,407
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

268
00:08:10,279 –> 00:08:17,531
[paul_tyler]: firm in a community would speak right
way give back with resources give my skills

a lot furls it probably engenders david is

274
00:08:26,684 –> 00:08:30,689
[paul_tyler]: probably one of the best brand building
things i could do in a community

275
00:08:32,191 –> 00:08:32,431
[david_macchia]: i think

276
00:08:32,310 –> 00:08:32,672
[paul_tyler]: oh

277
00:08:32,471 –> 00:08:35,356
[david_macchia]: that’s right i think i agree with
both of you i think it reflects

278
00:08:35,018 –> 00:08:35,058
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

279
00:08:35,456 –> 00:08:37,539
[david_macchia]: positively on the advisor who’s donating

280
00:08:37,530 –> 00:08:37,690
[paul_tyler]: yeah

281
00:08:37,620 –> 00:08:39,403
[david_macchia]: time and trying to make a contribution

282
00:08:39,134 –> 00:08:39,155
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

283
00:08:39,463 –> 00:08:40,344
[david_macchia]: to his or her community

284
00:08:40,739 –> 00:08:40,920
[paul_tyler]: yeah

285
00:08:41,165 –> 00:08:45,793
[david_macchia]: you know that’s absolutely true i can’t
i can’t disagree with that at all i

286
00:08:45,853 –> 00:08:48,978
[david_macchia]: think you’re absolutely right about it and
i’m excited and i

287
00:08:49,295 –> 00:08:49,577
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

288
00:08:49,299 –> 00:08:51,423
[david_macchia]: i hope like i said i hope
folks will

289
00:08:51,300 –> 00:08:52,050

[paul_tyler]: oh

294
00:08:55,069 –> 00:08:58,214
[david_macchia]: from the corporal level i don’t think
this can work without corporate participation

295
00:08:58,701 –> 00:08:58,966
[paul_tyler]: agree

296
00:08:59,376 –> 00:09:05,226
[david_macchia]: because the financial advisors contribution that doesn’t
need to be and shouldn’t be direct

297
00:09:05,015 –> 00:09:05,705
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

298
00:09:06,087 –> 00:09:07,229

[david_macchia]: yeah

349
00:09:58,121 –> 00:10:06,655
[paul_tyler]: carrier with some probably some fairly tied
distribution captive is oxymoreon this business but we

350
00:10:06,796 –> 00:10:11,544
[paul_tyler]: use a lot right you need the
coverage because

351

[paul_tyler]: oh

509
00:13:54,433 –> 00:13:55,494
[ramsey_d_smith]: literacy is something

510
00:13:55,290 –> 00:13:56,610
[paul_tyler]: yeah

511
00:13:55,554 –> 00:14:02,025
[ramsey_d_smith]: that’s a that’s developed over a lifetime
right because things change both like what available

512
00:14:02,085 –> 00:14:04,269
[ramsey_d_smith]: in the market the market itself as
well as like

513
00:14:04,261 –> 00:14:04,342
[paul_tyler]: we

514
00:14:04,309 –> 00:14:05,591
[ramsey_d_smith]: your personal situation so

515
00:14:05,700 –> 00:14:05,920
[david_macchia]: oh

516
00:14:07,013 –> 00:14:10,159
[ramsey_d_smith]: as much as anything else i kind
of think of financial literacy as

517
00:14:10,500 –> 00:14:10,683
[david_macchia]: oh

518
00:14:10,740 –> 00:14:15,868
[ramsey_d_smith]: as a habit you develop the expectation
you’re never going to get it exactly right

519
00:14:16,169 –> 00:14:20,616
[ramsey_d_smith]: but it’s better to make make decisions
than to succumb

520
00:14:20,580 –> 00:14:22,050
[paul_tyler]: yeah

521
00:14:20,656 –> 00:14:22,179
[ramsey_d_smith]: to not making decisions which usually

522
00:14:22,080 –> 00:14:22,100
[paul_tyler]: m

523
00:14:22,219 –> 00:14:27,628
[ramsey_d_smith]: are where the biggest mistakes happening with
respect to once personal finances so i’ve

524
00:14:27,474 –> 00:14:27,990
[paul_tyler]: right

525
00:14:27,690 –> 00:14:27,771
[david_macchia]: ah

526
00:14:28,289 –> 00:14:31,234
[ramsey_d_smith]: i’ve become a bit cynical in that
i used to think you could truly solve

527
00:14:31,294 –> 00:14:34,479
[ramsey_d_smith]: financial literacy and if you just sort
of taught it better and i think that

528
00:14:34,539 –> 00:14:37,625
[ramsey_d_smith]: actually it’s more of an attitude than
anything else

529
00:14:37,980 –> 00:14:38,000
[david_macchia]: m

530
00:14:38,145 –> 00:14:38,265

[david_macchia]: well i think

561
00:15:08,276 –> 00:15:08,296
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

562
00:15:08,283 –> 00:15:08,964

[paul_tyler]: yeah

564
00:15:09,805 –> 00:15:10,066
[david_macchia]: i mean if

568
00:15:12,950 –> 00:15:13,830

[david_macchia]: a real accomplishment

572
00:15:15,650 –> 00:15:18,317
[paul_tyler]: natural clinfrence although sometimes you can’t use
confrentwen should be

573
00:15:20,141 –> 00:15:24,350
[david_macchia]: perhaps yeah but i think if you
were to somehow pull people and so you

574
00:15:24,470 –> 00:15:25,893
[david_macchia]: really confident about finances

575

[paul_tyler]: right

576
00:15:26,154 –> 00:15:26,895

00:15:33,908 –> 00:15:34,068
[ramsey_d_smith]: but i

585
00:15:34,080 –> 00:15:34,361
[david_macchia]: yeah

586
00:15:34,168 –> 00:15:38,375
[ramsey_d_smith]: like i like things around like attitude
and confidence i like things that are described

587
00:15:38,415 –> 00:15:39,076
[ramsey_d_smith]: behaviorly

588
00:15:40,050 –> 00:15:40,251

[paul_tyler]: yeah

593
00:15:42,802 –> 00:15:46,829
[ramsey_d_smith]: i think it’s i think it’s an
going process and an attitude is opposed to

00:15:47,230 –> 00:15:49,253
[ramsey_d_smith]: you know i got i got the
diploma

[paul_tyler]: m

636
00:16:40,263 –> 00:16:42,407

[david_macchia]: you look at that so this is
a

652
00:17:02,465 –> 00:17:02,689
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

653
00:17:02,713 –> 00:17:08,792
[david_macchia]: federal reserve published index that’s been out

00:17:08,550 –> 00:17:08,791
[paul_tyler]: oh

655
00:17:08,555 –> 00:17:08,737
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

657
00:17:09,873 –> 00:17:10,257
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah yeah

658
00:17:10,475 –> 00:17:12,559
[david_macchia]: long term average of five hundred and
fifty per cent

659
00:17:12,635 –> 00:17:13,595
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

660
00:17:13,660 –> 00:17:18,175
[david_macchia]: and occasionally it pops up to you
know high new heights well it did so

661
00:17:18,256 –> 00:17:21,621
[david_macchia]: in two thousand just before the tech
crash it went up to i think

662
00:17:21,524 –> 00:17:21,545
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

663
00:17:21,722 –> 00:17:25,745
[david_macchia]: six hundred and fifteen and then in
september of two

664
00:17:25,740 –> 00:17:25,961
[paul_tyler]: yeah

665
00:17:25,805 –> 00:17:26,526
[david_macchia]: thousand seven

666
00:17:27,189 –> 00:17:27,330
[paul_tyler]: yeah

667
00:17:27,247 –> 00:17:27,607
[david_macchia]: it rose

668
00:17:27,545 –> 00:17:28,385
[ramsey_d_smith]: yah

669
00:17:27,687 –> 00:17:32,253
[david_macchia]: to an all time high of six
hundred seventy only to result a few months

670
00:17:32,333 –> 00:17:36,892
[david_macchia]: later in the crash of two thousand
eight right back to its long term average

671
00:17:36,695 –> 00:17:36,955
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

672
00:17:37,353 –> 00:17:41,460
[david_macchia]: right it did that after two thousand
do that after two thousand eight well what’s

673
00:17:41,500 –> 00:17:46,488
[david_macchia]: happened since you know this bull market
has brought the index up to eight hundred

674
00:17:46,528 –> 00:17:48,593
[david_macchia]: and eighteen that’s literally off the charts

675
00:17:48,960 –> 00:17:51,090
[paul_tyler]: yeah

676
00:17:49,194 –> 00:17:53,253
[david_macchia]: and what we’ve seen is some falling
back i wrote an article which is the

677
00:17:53,413 –> 00:17:55,657
[david_macchia]: advisor perspectives dot com

678
00:17:55,470 –> 00:17:55,692
[paul_tyler]: yeah

679
00:17:55,505 –> 00:17:55,767
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

680
00:17:56,598 –> 00:17:57,520
[david_macchia]: saying that prepared for

681
00:17:57,585 –> 00:17:57,705
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

682
00:17:58,021 –> 00:18:01,767
[david_macchia]: for the destruction of thirty four trillion
dollars in wealth assets

683
00:18:02,045 –> 00:18:03,035
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

684
00:18:02,729 –> 00:18:04,391
[david_macchia]: in that simple

685
00:18:04,625 –> 00:18:04,645
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

686
00:18:04,772 –> 00:18:08,939
[david_macchia]: because when the index comes back down
again to its long term average

687
00:18:08,864 –> 00:18:08,885
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

688
00:18:08,979 –> 00:18:10,221
[david_macchia]: it’s going to be totally

689
00:18:10,120 –> 00:18:10,181

00:18:54,935 –> 00:18:56,796
[david_macchia]: annuity sales i think you know

723
00:18:56,818 –> 00:18:56,899
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

724
00:18:56,996 –> 00:18:59,379
[david_macchia]: given everything that’s happening is it is
very very positive

725
00:19:00,611 –> 00:19:01,292
[paul_tyler]: yeah it’s

726
00:19:01,295 –> 00:19:01,925
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

727
00:19:02,213 –> 00:19:02,814
[paul_tyler]: it’s interesting now

728
00:19:02,760 –> 00:19:02,780
[david_macchia]: m

729
00:19:03,035 –> 00:19:05,018
[paul_tyler]: as of the recording dat

730
00:19:04,860 –> 00:19:05,081
[david_macchia]: oh

731
00:19:05,459 –> 00:19:07,402
[paul_tyler]: okay we just know the c p
i came

732
00:19:07,325 –> 00:19:07,345
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

733
00:19:07,482 –> 00:19:08,363
[paul_tyler]: out lations higher

734
00:19:09,875 –> 00:19:10,176
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

735
00:19:09,946 –> 00:19:14,814
[paul_tyler]: market went down rates short term rites
i guess even in your treasury

736
00:19:15,270 –> 00:19:15,513
[david_macchia]: oh

737
00:19:15,576 –> 00:19:19,863
[paul_tyler]: went higher but it’s still an inverted
yield curve and ramsey

738
00:19:19,680 –> 00:19:19,700
[david_macchia]: m

739
00:19:19,883 –> 00:19:25,598
[paul_tyler]: whatever we saw happened with mica i
mean it if i’m not sure or you

740
00:19:25,618 –> 00:19:26,443
[paul_tyler]: think this is going

741
00:19:26,700 –> 00:19:26,720
[david_macchia]: m

742
00:19:27,663 –> 00:19:29,145
[ramsey_d_smith]: in terms of in terms of rates

743
00:19:29,391 –> 00:19:30,092
[paul_tyler]: rats yeah

744
00:19:30,367 –> 00:19:31,209
[ramsey_d_smith]: i mean rates have gone

745
00:19:31,221 –> 00:19:31,241
[david_macchia]: a

746
00:19:31,269 –> 00:19:33,933
[ramsey_d_smith]: up a lot so they’re definitely much
more attractive

747
00:19:33,690 –> 00:19:34,053
[david_macchia]: yes

748
00:19:34,013 –> 00:19:39,262
[ramsey_d_smith]: and they’re getting much deserved visibility on
the back of that you know

749
00:19:39,270 –> 00:19:39,472
[paul_tyler]: oh

750
00:19:41,145 –> 00:19:41,386
[ramsey_d_smith]: i look

751
00:19:41,290 –> 00:19:41,452
[paul_tyler]: look

752
00:19:41,426 –> 00:19:44,771
[ramsey_d_smith]: at it i still wonder if if
the investments that back

753
00:19:44,610 –> 00:19:45,154
[david_macchia]: oh

754
00:19:44,831 –> 00:19:46,655
[ramsey_d_smith]: them you know how they match up
with it

755
00:19:46,740 –> 00:19:47,245
[david_macchia]: oh

756
00:19:46,895 –> 00:19:50,301
[ramsey_d_smith]: so sing you know in the high
end sometimes but for sure

757
00:19:50,340 –> 00:19:51,810
[paul_tyler]: yeah

758
00:19:51,262 –> 00:19:55,449
[ramsey_d_smith]: for sure rates are higher they should
be higher and and more and

759
00:19:55,380 –> 00:19:55,641
[david_macchia]: oh

760
00:19:55,489 –> 00:19:55,870
[ramsey_d_smith]: more people

761
00:19:55,710 –> 00:19:56,310
[paul_tyler]: yeah

762
00:19:55,910 –> 00:19:58,094
[ramsey_d_smith]: should be looking at them as a
really attractive

763
00:19:57,810 –> 00:19:57,830
[david_macchia]: m

764
00:19:58,154 –> 00:19:58,614
[ramsey_d_smith]: alternative

765
00:19:58,770 –> 00:19:58,990
[paul_tyler]: yeah

766
00:19:58,775 –> 00:20:00,761
[ramsey_d_smith]: c d is which is really the
best way to think about

767
00:20:00,677 –> 00:20:00,918
[paul_tyler]: pop

768
00:20:00,801 –> 00:20:01,343

[david_macchia]: yep yep

773
00:20:06,584 –> 00:20:08,547
[paul_tyler]: right we’ll just say from from a
care perspective

774
00:20:08,640 –> 00:20:08,881
[david_macchia]: oh

775
00:20:08,708 –> 00:20:08,848
[paul_tyler]: like

776
00:20:08,945 –> 00:20:09,186
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

777
00:20:09,269 –> 00:20:11,813
[paul_tyler]: we target these migrates okay we’re not
on to be the best

778
00:20:11,945 –> 00:20:12,248
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

779
00:20:11,993 –> 00:20:13,976
[paul_tyler]: one we’re gonna try to go to
number

780
00:20:14,015 –> 00:20:14,975
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

781
00:20:14,097 –> 00:20:18,487
[paul_tyler]: two we’ve done that certain months and
you know by the time

782
00:20:18,224 –> 00:20:18,245
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

783
00:20:18,390 –> 00:20:18,410
[david_macchia]: m

784
00:20:19,730 –> 00:20:21,573
[paul_tyler]: you know it takes time once you
decide

785
00:20:21,558 –> 00:20:21,640
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

786
00:20:21,894 –> 00:20:26,661
[paul_tyler]: set their rates and go and change
the systems put it out you’re talking about

787
00:20:26,722 –> 00:20:30,067
[paul_tyler]: a seven eight day lag but the
time we get there okay we’re now number

788
00:20:30,167 –> 00:20:31,269
[paul_tyler]: four number five number

789
00:20:31,320 –> 00:20:31,340
[david_macchia]: m

790
00:20:31,349 –> 00:20:31,449
[paul_tyler]: six

791
00:20:31,655 –> 00:20:31,675
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

792
00:20:32,631 –> 00:20:33,693
[paul_tyler]: it’s been a real it’s

793
00:20:33,699 –> 00:20:33,720
[david_macchia]: m

794
00:20:33,733 –> 00:20:37,459
[paul_tyler]: an arms race on the migetfront which
has been good for

795
00:20:37,634 –> 00:20:37,655
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

796
00:20:37,720 –> 00:20:40,665
[paul_tyler]: i think good for consumer as good
probably not great

797
00:20:40,550 –> 00:20:40,773
[david_macchia]: yes

798
00:20:40,964 –> 00:20:40,985
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

799
00:20:41,727 –> 00:20:42,147
[paul_tyler]: would be great

800
00:20:42,180 –> 00:20:42,423
[david_macchia]: oh

801
00:20:42,187 –> 00:20:43,470
[paul_tyler]: if we didn’t have inflation david

802
00:20:43,535 –> 00:20:43,555
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

803
00:20:43,952 –> 00:20:44,475
[paul_tyler]: all right

804
00:20:45,905 –> 00:20:46,186
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

805
00:20:46,112 –> 00:20:47,695
[david_macchia]: well the real returns are still negative

806
00:20:47,900 –> 00:20:48,041
[paul_tyler]: yeah

807
00:20:47,945 –> 00:20:47,965
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

808
00:20:48,476 –> 00:20:51,001
[david_macchia]: you know because the inflation is so
high and you know

809
00:20:51,605 –> 00:20:51,810
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

810
00:20:52,223 –> 00:20:53,545
[david_macchia]: the other side of inflation is

811
00:20:53,477 –> 00:20:53,498
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

812
00:20:53,605 –> 00:20:55,388
[david_macchia]: that the way we think about

813
00:20:55,325 –> 00:20:55,566
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

814
00:20:55,468 –> 00:20:58,331
[david_macchia]: inflation today it’s not the way we
thought about it say in the eighties or

815
00:20:58,385 –> 00:20:58,985
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

816
00:20:58,411 –> 00:20:59,993
[david_macchia]: nineties because if you

817
00:21:00,030 –> 00:21:00,213
[paul_tyler]: yeah

818
00:21:00,073 –> 00:21:01,875
[david_macchia]: go back and you use that methodology

819
00:21:01,350 –> 00:21:02,648
[paul_tyler]: yeah

820
00:21:01,935 –> 00:21:03,476
[david_macchia]: of how inflation was calculated

821
00:21:02,880 –> 00:21:03,870
[paul_tyler]: yeah

822
00:21:03,576 –> 00:21:03,776
[david_macchia]: then

823
00:21:04,235 –> 00:21:04,476
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

824
00:21:04,577 –> 00:21:08,382
[david_macchia]: the inflation rate today is really seventeen
per cent you can see this at the

825
00:21:08,422 –> 00:21:12,068
[david_macchia]: website called shadow government statistics dot com
what really under

826
00:21:12,150 –> 00:21:12,414
[paul_tyler]: oh

827
00:21:12,368 –> 00:21:15,894
[david_macchia]: under playing how deep inflation is becoming
and if you if you walked into a

828
00:21:15,934 –> 00:21:16,515
[david_macchia]: super market

829
00:21:16,551 –> 00:21:16,652
[paul_tyler]: oh

830
00:21:16,575 –> 00:21:19,099
[david_macchia]: you know lately you know that’s true
the price

831
00:21:18,995 –> 00:21:19,297
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

832
00:21:19,280 –> 00:21:21,574
[david_macchia]: and certain things are just you know
sky rocketed

833
00:21:21,660 –> 00:21:21,801
[paul_tyler]: yeah

834
00:21:21,765 –> 00:21:25,653
[ramsey_d_smith]: remember what some of the key differences
are or what were were there any there

835
00:21:25,693 –> 00:21:29,482
[ramsey_d_smith]: one or two things that oft stood
out to explain that that big difference in

836
00:21:29,542 –> 00:21:29,943
[ramsey_d_smith]: measurement

837
00:21:30,984 –> 00:21:31,164
[david_macchia]: yeah

838
00:21:31,680 –> 00:21:31,921
[paul_tyler]: yah

839
00:21:31,926 –> 00:21:33,088
[david_macchia]: i don’t know specifically remember

840
00:21:32,876 –> 00:21:33,017
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

841
00:21:33,168 –> 00:21:33,528
[david_macchia]: except to

842
00:21:33,589 –> 00:21:33,669
[paul_tyler]: ah

843
00:21:33,609 –> 00:21:36,033
[david_macchia]: say that in the calculation of the
c p i

844
00:21:36,350 –> 00:21:37,205
[ramsey_d_smith]: hm

845
00:21:36,814 –> 00:21:37,535
[david_macchia]: the waiting of

846
00:21:37,595 –> 00:21:37,876
[ramsey_d_smith]: yah

847
00:21:37,595 –> 00:21:39,118
[david_macchia]: certain factors and the inclusion of

848
00:21:39,083 –> 00:21:39,264
[ramsey_d_smith]: yah

849
00:21:39,198 –> 00:21:39,418
[david_macchia]: certain

850
00:21:39,435 –> 00:21:39,577
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

851
00:21:39,478 –> 00:21:40,059
[david_macchia]: factors or

852
00:21:40,505 –> 00:21:40,625
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

853
00:21:40,861 –> 00:21:41,862
[david_macchia]: is where the difference is

854
00:21:41,996 –> 00:21:42,318
[ramsey_d_smith]: got it

855
00:21:42,570 –> 00:21:42,731
[paul_tyler]: yeah

856
00:21:42,924 –> 00:21:44,747
[david_macchia]: and i think i think there was
a there was an

857
00:21:44,744 –> 00:21:45,785
[ramsey_d_smith]: m oh

858
00:21:44,887 –> 00:21:47,792
[david_macchia]: urgency change this because when social

859
00:21:47,534 –> 00:21:47,555
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

860
00:21:47,852 –> 00:21:49,194
[david_macchia]: security became inflation

861
00:21:49,235 –> 00:21:49,498
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

862
00:21:49,255 –> 00:21:51,919
[david_macchia]: adjusted imagine if we were inflation

863
00:21:51,897 –> 00:21:51,958
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

864
00:21:51,979 –> 00:21:53,021
[david_macchia]: adjust social security

865
00:21:52,925 –> 00:21:52,945
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

866
00:21:53,061 –> 00:21:53,522
[david_macchia]: at seventeen

867
00:21:53,370 –> 00:21:53,677
[paul_tyler]: oh

868
00:21:53,602 –> 00:21:56,087
[david_macchia]: per cent you know that would that
would have some

869
00:21:56,220 –> 00:21:56,381
[paul_tyler]: yeah

870
00:21:56,495 –> 00:21:56,817
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

871
00:21:56,828 –> 00:21:58,571
[david_macchia]: significant ramifications in terms

872
00:21:58,355 –> 00:21:58,595
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

873
00:21:58,651 –> 00:22:00,455
[david_macchia]: of nations finances

874
00:22:00,600 –> 00:22:05,529
[paul_tyler]: right it’s you know inflation like inflation
is bad period i think the good news

875
00:22:05,569 –> 00:22:06,490
[paul_tyler]: is with our products and

876
00:22:06,515 –> 00:22:06,716
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

877
00:22:06,530 –> 00:22:08,614
[paul_tyler]: what we’re delivering for for consumers is

878
00:22:08,555 –> 00:22:08,777
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

879
00:22:08,714 –> 00:22:10,256
[paul_tyler]: it’s a good defensive play

880
00:22:10,119 –> 00:22:10,140
[david_macchia]: m

881
00:22:10,857 –> 00:22:12,460
[paul_tyler]: probably one of the best defensive play
if you’re

882
00:22:12,395 –> 00:22:13,325
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

883
00:22:12,500 –> 00:22:14,744
[paul_tyler]: on fixed income today so you know
my rates

884
00:22:14,537 –> 00:22:14,679
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

885
00:22:15,285 –> 00:22:15,526
[paul_tyler]: the god

886
00:22:15,545 –> 00:22:15,565
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

887
00:22:15,987 –> 00:22:17,489
[paul_tyler]: like looks like word for another

888
00:22:17,285 –> 00:22:18,035
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

889
00:22:18,090 –> 00:22:20,375
[paul_tyler]: you know rise and rates here i
think

890
00:22:21,030 –> 00:22:21,050
[david_macchia]: m

891
00:22:21,136 –> 00:22:25,805
[paul_tyler]: you know david you know guaranteed income
will go up right because

892
00:22:26,615 –> 00:22:26,635
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

893
00:22:26,890 –> 00:22:28,873
[paul_tyler]: rates are going up cares can afford
to

894
00:22:29,075 –> 00:22:29,396
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

895
00:22:29,795 –> 00:22:31,918
[paul_tyler]: you know raise caps or participation rates

896
00:22:32,975 –> 00:22:33,358
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

897
00:22:33,160 –> 00:22:33,601
[paul_tyler]: so i think

898
00:22:33,870 –> 00:22:33,890
[david_macchia]: m

899
00:22:34,042 –> 00:22:35,424
[paul_tyler]: from advisor perspective

900
00:22:35,204 –> 00:22:35,225
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

901
00:22:35,544 –> 00:22:40,054
[paul_tyler]: they’ll be able to deliver more value
on paper you know to clients up for

902
00:22:40,074 –> 00:22:40,155
[paul_tyler]: the

903
00:22:40,160 –> 00:22:40,300
[david_macchia]: think

904
00:22:40,175 –> 00:22:40,315
[paul_tyler]: next

905
00:22:40,380 –> 00:22:40,420
[david_macchia]: i

906
00:22:40,436 –> 00:22:40,596
[paul_tyler]: three

907
00:22:40,460 –> 00:22:40,621
[david_macchia]: think

908
00:22:40,636 –> 00:22:40,837
[paul_tyler]: months

909
00:22:40,661 –> 00:22:44,768
[david_macchia]: that’s true i think that’s true and
just just before we leave inflation

910
00:22:45,224 –> 00:22:45,595
[ramsey_d_smith]: m m

911
00:22:45,849 –> 00:22:45,970
[david_macchia]: is

912
00:22:46,410 –> 00:22:46,670
[paul_tyler]: oh

913
00:22:46,911 –> 00:22:48,374
[david_macchia]: i think the point should be made
it’s

914
00:22:48,275 –> 00:22:48,516
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

915
00:22:48,414 –> 00:22:51,659
[david_macchia]: a very cruel reality because

916
00:22:51,960 –> 00:22:52,121
[paul_tyler]: it

917
00:22:52,220 –> 00:22:53,081
[david_macchia]: it hurts people

918
00:22:52,955 –> 00:22:53,403
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

919
00:22:53,162 –> 00:22:57,949
[david_macchia]: on fixed incomes it hurts people with
low incomes so much higher so much harder

920
00:22:58,010 –> 00:23:02,076
[david_macchia]: than than it hurts other people just
the gas tank you know and food just

921
00:23:02,156 –> 00:23:05,142
[david_macchia]: just gas and food i rocketed so
much

922
00:23:05,135 –> 00:23:05,475
[ramsey_d_smith]: my

923
00:23:07,566 –> 00:23:09,970
[david_macchia]: i don’t know if what the fat
is doing is the right policy of the

924
00:23:10,010 –> 00:23:11,553
[david_macchia]: wrong policy honestly i wish i knew

925
00:23:11,705 –> 00:23:11,987
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

926
00:23:12,395 –> 00:23:13,937
[david_macchia]: but we have to get inflation

927
00:23:13,829 –> 00:23:14,010
[paul_tyler]: yeah

928
00:23:13,904 –> 00:23:13,925
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

929
00:23:13,998 –> 00:23:14,498
[david_macchia]: of the control

930
00:23:14,790 –> 00:23:14,890
[paul_tyler]: oh

931
00:23:15,310 –> 00:23:17,355
[david_macchia]: because it’s like it’s like a huge
extra tax

932
00:23:17,700 –> 00:23:18,630
[paul_tyler]: yeah

933
00:23:18,077 –> 00:23:22,488
[david_macchia]: on people that’s that’s just totally destructive
to their personal financial health

934
00:23:23,111 –> 00:23:23,512
[paul_tyler]: yeah now

935
00:23:23,495 –> 00:23:23,978
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

936
00:23:24,553 –> 00:23:25,395
[paul_tyler]: my perspective

937
00:23:25,525 –> 00:23:25,666
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

938
00:23:25,655 –> 00:23:25,875
[paul_tyler]: is

939
00:23:26,910 –> 00:23:27,990
[david_macchia]: yeah

940
00:23:26,917 –> 00:23:27,498
[paul_tyler]: it’s global

941
00:23:27,305 –> 00:23:28,385
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

942
00:23:27,658 –> 00:23:28,680
[paul_tyler]: i mean a lot of people you

943
00:23:28,625 –> 00:23:28,928
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

944
00:23:28,860 –> 00:23:34,730
[paul_tyler]: want to blame our administration you listen
politicians have some impact you know can make

945
00:23:34,790 –> 00:23:41,622
[paul_tyler]: it worse make you now hard to
say than like better but our ports i

946
00:23:41,682 –> 00:23:41,882
[paul_tyler]: mean

947
00:23:42,305 –> 00:23:42,565
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

948
00:23:42,744 –> 00:23:44,547
[paul_tyler]: this the supply chain problem is

949
00:23:44,854 –> 00:23:44,954
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

950
00:23:45,188 –> 00:23:46,189
[paul_tyler]: going to go away right

951
00:23:46,085 –> 00:23:46,326
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

952
00:23:46,790 –> 00:23:49,695
[paul_tyler]: if you look at the us if
you look at the efficiency of the us

953
00:23:49,815 –> 00:23:50,256
[paul_tyler]: ports

954
00:23:50,615 –> 00:23:50,736
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye

955
00:23:51,258 –> 00:23:55,505
[paul_tyler]: um we’re not like you know we
were not in sort of

956
00:23:55,484 –> 00:23:55,505
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

957
00:23:55,545 –> 00:23:59,572
[paul_tyler]: the top twenty to twenty five most
efficient and

958
00:23:59,915 –> 00:23:59,935
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

959
00:24:00,012 –> 00:24:05,031
[paul_tyler]: imports of goods coming in so we
got a real bottle neck that going to

960
00:24:05,091 –> 00:24:08,521
[paul_tyler]: take a long time to change if
we can easily change it right because

961
00:24:08,495 –> 00:24:08,835
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

962
00:24:09,043 –> 00:24:15,914
[paul_tyler]: ships come into california southern california you
can’t build rails and highways through expensive real

963
00:24:15,954 –> 00:24:17,416
[paul_tyler]: estate her california

964
00:24:17,615 –> 00:24:17,836
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

965
00:24:17,796 –> 00:24:18,717
[paul_tyler]: to get goods out quicker

966
00:24:20,080 –> 00:24:20,561
[david_macchia]: that’s true

967
00:24:20,705 –> 00:24:20,725
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

968
00:24:20,982 –> 00:24:24,910
[david_macchia]: and i think one area though the
gummy can make a difference for good or

969
00:24:24,970 –> 00:24:28,638
[david_macchia]: bad is that i think we’ve had
a lot of increased regulation lately

970
00:24:28,835 –> 00:24:29,177
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

971
00:24:29,470 –> 00:24:34,780
[david_macchia]: which has had a detrimental impact on
the supply chain but you’re right it’s a

972
00:24:34,840 –> 00:24:36,523
[david_macchia]: really complex set of problems

973
00:24:36,261 –> 00:24:36,642
[paul_tyler]: well you know

974
00:24:36,766 –> 00:24:36,926
[ramsey_d_smith]: well

975
00:24:36,964 –> 00:24:37,425
[david_macchia]: it’s really

976
00:24:37,464 –> 00:24:37,605
[paul_tyler]: yeah

977
00:24:37,525 –> 00:24:37,846
[david_macchia]: come

978
00:24:37,925 –> 00:24:38,186
[paul_tyler]: brands

979
00:24:38,609 –> 00:24:40,392
[ramsey_d_smith]: i was i was just going to
say that i’m gonna i’m gonna

980
00:24:40,380 –> 00:24:40,662
[paul_tyler]: yeah

981
00:24:40,452 –> 00:24:43,257
[ramsey_d_smith]: hark back to something that i

982
00:24:43,260 –> 00:24:43,543
[paul_tyler]: oh

983
00:24:43,297 –> 00:24:43,717
[ramsey_d_smith]: don’t know if you

984
00:24:43,950 –> 00:24:44,254
[david_macchia]: oh

985
00:24:44,038 –> 00:24:45,941
[ramsey_d_smith]: if you said it in the in
the pre show or

986
00:24:46,290 –> 00:24:46,512
[david_macchia]: oh

987
00:24:46,562 –> 00:24:50,168
[ramsey_d_smith]: we were talking about travel and you
talk the fragility the fragility of

988
00:24:50,550 –> 00:24:50,570
[david_macchia]: m

989
00:24:50,849 –> 00:24:52,873
[ramsey_d_smith]: the air transport system and so we’re

990
00:24:52,840 –> 00:24:53,004
[david_macchia]: yep

991
00:24:52,953 –> 00:24:53,333
[ramsey_d_smith]: seeing that

992
00:24:53,250 –> 00:24:53,410
[paul_tyler]: yeah

993
00:24:53,394 –> 00:24:57,661
[ramsey_d_smith]: same kind of fragility and a supply
chain that was sending things just in time

994
00:24:57,721 –> 00:24:59,924
[ramsey_d_smith]: from somewhere in the far east you
know

995
00:25:00,020 –> 00:25:00,221
[david_macchia]: right

996
00:25:00,085 –> 00:25:00,465
[ramsey_d_smith]: your kitchen

997
00:25:00,409 –> 00:25:00,510
[paul_tyler]: yeah

998
00:25:00,566 –> 00:25:02,729
[ramsey_d_smith]: table in a in a remarkably

999
00:25:02,730 –> 00:25:02,750
[david_macchia]: m

1000
00:25:02,769 –> 00:25:03,390
[ramsey_d_smith]: efficient way

1001
00:25:03,900 –> 00:25:05,460
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1002
00:25:04,592 –> 00:25:08,078
[ramsey_d_smith]: my sense paul to your point is
that ultimately the

1003
00:25:08,070 –> 00:25:08,330
[paul_tyler]: oh

1004
00:25:08,138 –> 00:25:08,799
[ramsey_d_smith]: solution to

1005
00:25:08,700 –> 00:25:09,480
[david_macchia]: oh

1006
00:25:09,961 –> 00:25:12,225
[ramsey_d_smith]: supply chain problems that are that are
glow bill

1007
00:25:12,185 –> 00:25:12,226
[paul_tyler]: a

1008
00:25:12,445 –> 00:25:13,407
[ramsey_d_smith]: is to deglobalize

1009
00:25:13,312 –> 00:25:13,800
[paul_tyler]: right

1010
00:25:13,447 –> 00:25:15,010
[ramsey_d_smith]: them so it seems like both

1011
00:25:15,090 –> 00:25:15,350
[paul_tyler]: oh

1012
00:25:15,090 –> 00:25:18,556
[ramsey_d_smith]: politically and economically you know we’re probably
headed towards some degree

1013
00:25:18,579 –> 00:25:18,739
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1014
00:25:18,616 –> 00:25:19,958
[ramsey_d_smith]: of deglobalization

1015
00:25:19,680 –> 00:25:19,700
[david_macchia]: m

1016
00:25:19,774 –> 00:25:19,856
[paul_tyler]: ah

1017
00:25:20,138 –> 00:25:23,263
[ramsey_d_smith]: that’s going to take time that will
actually also be inflation ary here in the

1018
00:25:23,343 –> 00:25:24,785
[ramsey_d_smith]: u s probably

1019
00:25:25,010 –> 00:25:25,491
[david_macchia]: absolutely

1020
00:25:25,466 –> 00:25:26,107
[ramsey_d_smith]: going forward

1021
00:25:26,112 –> 00:25:26,193
[paul_tyler]: ah

1022
00:25:26,507 –> 00:25:30,171
[ramsey_d_smith]: but it’s hard to see it’s hard
to see given national security and all sorts

1023
00:25:30,191 –> 00:25:33,574
[ramsey_d_smith]: of other reasons why why wouldn’t why
we wouldn’t head in that direction

1024
00:25:33,710 –> 00:25:34,312
[paul_tyler]: well you know there’s

1025
00:25:34,200 –> 00:25:35,130
[david_macchia]: oh

1026
00:25:34,673 –> 00:25:36,278
[paul_tyler]: a there’s a big time element too
so

1027
00:25:36,425 –> 00:25:36,445
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1028
00:25:36,739 –> 00:25:37,201
[paul_tyler]: you i’ve seen a

1029
00:25:37,235 –> 00:25:37,895
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1030
00:25:37,261 –> 00:25:43,635
[paul_tyler]: lot of ship manufactures announced launching saying
chip plants

1031
00:25:43,715 –> 00:25:43,956
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1032
00:25:43,876 –> 00:25:48,684
[paul_tyler]: outside china v i think i read
a few areas people go into different parts

1033
00:25:48,724 –> 00:25:50,647
[paul_tyler]: of south east age but david that
takes

1034
00:25:50,744 –> 00:25:50,765
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1035
00:25:51,028 –> 00:25:51,969
[paul_tyler]: two years to get a

1036
00:25:51,965 –> 00:25:52,226
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1037
00:25:52,029 –> 00:25:52,653
[paul_tyler]: play up and

1038
00:25:52,681 –> 00:25:52,761
[david_macchia]: oh

1039
00:25:52,693 –> 00:25:52,955
[paul_tyler]: running

1040
00:25:52,821 –> 00:25:53,883
[david_macchia]: yeah and and

1041
00:25:54,035 –> 00:25:54,685
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1042
00:25:54,063 –> 00:25:58,971
[david_macchia]: and also in the u s building
more chip manufacturing here but you’re right ramsey

1043
00:25:59,072 –> 00:26:00,434
[david_macchia]: i think people underestimate

1044
00:26:00,300 –> 00:26:00,929
[paul_tyler]: ye

1045
00:26:00,514 –> 00:26:03,840
[david_macchia]: how massively deflationary globalization was

1046
00:26:04,140 –> 00:26:05,190
[paul_tyler]: oh

1047
00:26:05,482 –> 00:26:08,006
[david_macchia]: and any incremental change in that

1048
00:26:08,790 –> 00:26:09,010
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1049
00:26:09,048 –> 00:26:10,190
[david_macchia]: any bringing back the

1050
00:26:10,124 –> 00:26:10,145
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1051
00:26:10,290 –> 00:26:11,693
[david_macchia]: manufacturing to our

1052
00:26:11,765 –> 00:26:11,785
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1053
00:26:11,793 –> 00:26:13,435
[david_macchia]: shores is probably

1054
00:26:13,169 –> 00:26:13,350
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1055
00:26:13,516 –> 00:26:15,259
[david_macchia]: good for our national security

1056
00:26:15,014 –> 00:26:15,035

[paul_tyler]: okay

1113

00:27:14,940 –> 00:27:16,723
[david_macchia]: tighten the tightening they’re going the other
way

1121
00:27:17,525 –> 00:27:17,545
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1122
00:27:17,684 –> 00:27:23,474
[david_macchia]: and you know since o eight before
o eight from from nineteen sixty eight when

1123
00:27:23,554 –> 00:27:27,501
[david_macchia]: when we got the legislation was passed
to get us off the goal standard right

1124
00:27:28,682 –> 00:27:29,484
[david_macchia]: up to two thousand

1125
00:27:29,490 –> 00:27:29,692
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1126
00:27:29,544 –> 00:27:30,766
[david_macchia]: eight economic

1127
00:27:30,660 –> 00:27:30,981
[paul_tyler]: oh

1128
00:27:30,846 –> 00:27:35,503
[david_macchia]: growth in this country was driven by
credit so we had one trillion of total

1129
00:27:35,563 –> 00:27:38,708
[david_macchia]: credit in the economy in nineteen sixty
eight by two thousand it we had ninety

1130
00:27:38,788 –> 00:27:40,992
[david_macchia]: times that we had ninety trillion that’s

1131
00:27:40,895 –> 00:27:42,125
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1132
00:27:41,032 –> 00:27:42,214
[david_macchia]: what drove the economic

1133
00:27:42,185 –> 00:27:42,205
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1134
00:27:42,274 –> 00:27:43,376
[david_macchia]: growth since

1135
00:27:43,544 –> 00:27:43,565
[ramsey_d_smith]: h

1136
00:27:43,556 –> 00:27:43,596
[david_macchia]: o

1137
00:27:43,560 –> 00:27:43,763
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1138
00:27:43,776 –> 00:27:44,958
[david_macchia]: eight credit growth

1139
00:27:44,820 –> 00:27:45,063
[paul_tyler]: oh

1140
00:27:45,019 –> 00:27:45,419
[david_macchia]: slowed

1141
00:27:45,524 –> 00:27:45,545
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1142
00:27:45,840 –> 00:27:46,761
[david_macchia]: so the government stepped

1143
00:27:46,724 –> 00:27:46,745
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1144
00:27:46,842 –> 00:27:48,464
[david_macchia]: in with massive physical stimulus

1145
00:27:48,227 –> 00:27:48,288
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah

1146
00:27:48,544 –> 00:27:50,027
[david_macchia]: and federal reserve stepped in with

1147
00:27:49,964 –> 00:27:49,985
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1148
00:27:50,167 –> 00:27:53,332
[david_macchia]: you know this huge money printing thing
that can’t

1149
00:27:53,165 –> 00:27:53,467
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1150
00:27:53,713 –> 00:27:56,418
[david_macchia]: keep going so i’m not sure what
happens

1151
00:27:56,405 –> 00:27:56,646
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1152
00:27:56,498 –> 00:27:57,579
[david_macchia]: next to generate

1153
00:27:57,330 –> 00:27:58,260
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1154
00:27:57,660 –> 00:27:59,962
[david_macchia]: economic growth especially under these conditions

1155
00:27:59,675 –> 00:27:59,896
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh

1156
00:28:00,763 –> 00:28:02,625
[david_macchia]: and i think we’re seeing that reality
reflected

1157
00:28:02,465 –> 00:28:03,485
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1158
00:28:02,705 –> 00:28:04,987
[david_macchia]: an asset price is starting to you
now come back to the

1159
00:28:05,384 –> 00:28:05,405
[ramsey_d_smith]: m

1160
00:28:05,988 –> 00:28:06,729
[david_macchia]: more normal level

1161
00:28:07,396 –> 00:28:09,119
[ramsey_d_smith]: well that’s that’s the thin that’s been
interesting you know

1162
00:28:09,840 –> 00:28:10,042
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1163
00:28:10,461 –> 00:28:12,064
[ramsey_d_smith]: a lot of the push back on
on

1164
00:28:12,510 –> 00:28:12,851
[david_macchia]: oh

1165
00:28:12,885 –> 00:28:17,573
[ramsey_d_smith]: on annuities has been you know around
inflation protection and people say he put more

1166
00:28:17,613 –> 00:28:20,938
[ramsey_d_smith]: money in equities in like i spent
a whole career in equity so i understand

1167
00:28:20,999 –> 00:28:22,441
[ramsey_d_smith]: that i understand

1168
00:28:22,213 –> 00:28:22,800
[david_macchia]: hm

1169
00:28:23,220 –> 00:28:23,401
[paul_tyler]: yeah

1170
00:28:23,463 –> 00:28:27,069
[ramsey_d_smith]: the value proposition there i think i
think for many years it’s been very real

1171
00:28:28,170 –> 00:28:32,798
[ramsey_d_smith]: the challenge that we have now is
that you know pricing for companies is often

1172
00:28:32,898 –> 00:28:33,559
[ramsey_d_smith]: most prevalent

1173
00:28:33,812 –> 00:28:33,997
[paul_tyler]: yes

1174
00:28:33,980 –> 00:28:34,181
[ramsey_d_smith]: when

1175
00:28:34,479 –> 00:28:34,580
[david_macchia]: m m

1176
00:28:34,701 –> 00:28:37,847
[ramsey_d_smith]: you know when they have when when
they

1177
00:28:37,770 –> 00:28:37,790
[david_macchia]: m

1178
00:28:37,887 –> 00:28:38,768
[ramsey_d_smith]: have plenty of supply

1179
00:28:38,793 –> 00:28:38,814
[paul_tyler]: i

1180
00:28:38,908 –> 00:28:41,853
[ramsey_d_smith]: but they’ve got sort of a demand
shock that’s favorable to them

1181
00:28:41,820 –> 00:28:41,840
[david_macchia]: m

1182
00:28:42,354 –> 00:28:42,575
[ramsey_d_smith]: but now

1183
00:28:42,622 –> 00:28:42,828
[paul_tyler]: okay

1184
00:28:42,635 –> 00:28:45,860
[ramsey_d_smith]: we have this issue that things are
happening on the supply side so even if

1185
00:28:45,940 –> 00:28:48,705
[ramsey_d_smith]: prices are going up if you can’t
deliver the product

1186
00:28:48,360 –> 00:28:48,664
[paul_tyler]: oh

1187
00:28:49,105 –> 00:28:49,807
[ramsey_d_smith]: it’s not giving you

1188
00:28:49,845 –> 00:28:49,865
[david_macchia]: m

1189
00:28:49,867 –> 00:28:52,351
[ramsey_d_smith]: the excess profit you would have otherwise
given

1190
00:28:52,420 –> 00:28:53,326
[david_macchia]: right right

1191
00:28:53,312 –> 00:28:56,037
[ramsey_d_smith]: and so so it shouldn’t come as
a surprise

1192
00:28:55,893 –> 00:28:55,914
[paul_tyler]: i

1193
00:28:56,097 –> 00:29:02,327
[ramsey_d_smith]: that like equities have been you ve
been suffering in this current environment and so

1194
00:29:02,848 –> 00:29:05,192
[ramsey_d_smith]: you know what does that mean it’s
it’s one thing if you say well if

1195
00:29:05,252 –> 00:29:09,539
[ramsey_d_smith]: i get you know our per cent
four per cent on my my annuity that’s

1196
00:29:09,580 –> 00:29:11,503
[ramsey_d_smith]: not keeping up with ten per cent
inflation will being down

1197
00:29:11,550 –> 00:29:11,570
[david_macchia]: m

1198
00:29:11,683 –> 00:29:16,010
[ramsey_d_smith]: twenty per cent in your equity portfolio
isn’t helping that either you know if you’re

1199
00:29:16,050 –> 00:29:16,711
[david_macchia]: that’s right

1200
00:29:16,731 –> 00:29:19,716
[ramsey_d_smith]: if you’re if you’re in decumulations if
you’re an accumulation

1201
00:29:19,500 –> 00:29:19,740
[paul_tyler]: yah

1202
00:29:19,876 –> 00:29:21,518
[ramsey_d_smith]: you can weigh it out but if
you’re in the

1203
00:29:21,470 –> 00:29:21,632
[david_macchia]: yeah

1204
00:29:21,578 –> 00:29:22,959
[ramsey_d_smith]: accumulation phase like you don’t

1205
00:29:22,920 –> 00:29:23,141
[david_macchia]: oh

1206
00:29:23,169 –> 00:29:23,190
[paul_tyler]: h

1207
00:29:23,320 –> 00:29:25,682
[ramsey_d_smith]: you don’t have the same set of
choices so it’s

1208
00:29:25,611 –> 00:29:25,751
[david_macchia]: yeah

1209
00:29:25,742 –> 00:29:26,623
[ramsey_d_smith]: a it’s a tough problem

1210
00:29:26,335 –> 00:29:26,438
[paul_tyler]: no

1211
00:29:26,823 –> 00:29:26,984
[ramsey_d_smith]: right

1212
00:29:27,273 –> 00:29:30,078
[david_macchia]: this is really really a smart point
you bringing up because

1213
00:29:30,065 –> 00:29:30,935
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah

1214
00:29:30,539 –> 00:29:32,642
[david_macchia]: i remember i got a call from
a writer i won’t mention his

1215
00:29:32,550 –> 00:29:33,215
[ramsey_d_smith]: hm

1216
00:29:32,682 –> 00:29:36,388
[david_macchia]: name he read one of my articles
and he said you know i really know

1217
00:29:36,489 –> 00:29:40,762
[david_macchia]: argued with a new he’s because they’re
not inflation adjusted and you know the truth

1218
00:29:40,842 –> 00:29:41,644
[david_macchia]: is there’s no there’s

1219
00:29:41,495 –> 00:29:42,545

The Tragic Politicization of Annuities

No comments

Well, how about this for coincidence? As this regrettable exchange was playing out in real time, late at night and into the early morning, in the very middle of it I received an alert on my iPhone that episode 152 of That Annuity Show podcast had been released. If you are not familiar with That Annuity Show, it is a podcast that offers value to anyone who desires to better understand the benefits of annuities and their practical applications. The podcast attracts a wide variety of guests who address diverse topics including academic research, marketing, technology,  innovation, product development and more. Paul Tyler, CMO OF Nassau RE, hosts the podcast along with Ramsey Smith, Founder & CEO of ALEX.fyi. They are frequently joined by guest host Bruno Caron, Associate Director at A.M, Best.

Picture this. I’m listening to the podcast while simultaneously participating in this “war of words,” over annuities, when I get to the point in the interview where Caron calls attention to a statement found on page 61 of my book, Constrained Investor, where I state that:

“Annuities remind me of politics. They ignite polarized beliefs that sometimes make it difficult to have fruitful discussions.”

“Wow! I am living this reality. It is just like politics!”

It is Not About a “Side”

The LinkedIn exchange inspired numerous comments from other LinkedIn members. In response to one made by Dr. Donald Moine, I explained that “I am pro intelligent retirement income planning. That makes me, by definition, pro-annuities, AND pro-investments. It is hard for some people to comprehend that neither ‘camp’ is the answer, but both are vital parts of the answer.”

After 18 years spent working in the field of income distribution planning, I can tell you that nothing is truer than this: No single “silo” is the answer to retirement income. In 2005, I became a founding member and director of the non-profit Retirement Income Industry Association, an organization whose mission it was to produce research benefiting from, “A view across the silos.” The association did pioneering work in communicating the need for diverse business silos to join together in order to craft the next generation of retirement income solutions.

Because asset management and insurance are equally vital components of proper income planning, prejudices against annuities like those espoused by my word-fight opponent only serve to work against the best interests of the American retiree.

A New Way to Assess and Serve Retirees’ Needs

If you hold views that are preventing your embrace of annuities, let me offer you an alternative way to think about serving the needs of your retiree clients. At retirement, any client can be placed into one of three categories of investors:

  • Underfunded Investors
  • Overfunded Investors
  • Constrained Investors.

Because “underfunded” investors rely primarily upon Social Security for retirement income, clients you are working with will almost always fall into the “overfunded” and “constrained investor” categories.

Overfunded clients are a lucky minority who have more wealth assets than are required to create their desired level of retirement income.

Constrained investors represent a lucrative market of desirable clients because all of them arrive at retirement with assets. However, the amount they’ve saved is not high in relation to the level of income they require to support a, “minimally acceptable lifestyle.” This does not mean that constrained investors have low investment account balances. On the contrary, they may have multiple millions of dollars. When working with constrained investors, it is less about the “amount” and more about the “relationship” between the amount of accumulated savings, and the level of income the savings must produce.

For example, imagine a client, Paula, who is retiring with $925,000 in investible assets. After subtracting Social Security, Paula requires her savings to produce an annual income of $41,076. Let me explain how that number was determined.

Funding Paula’s Minimally Acceptable Lifestyle

An integral component of the Constrained Investor framework is the calculation of the investor’s monthly income needed to support a Minimally Acceptable Lifestyle. This is done by adding up all of the retiree’s vital expenses, and then, to account for the funding of lifestyle expenses, grossing that number up by a factor of 30%.

Paula’s monthly vital expenses total $4,325. By adding 30% to the vital expenses total, we arrive at Paula’s Minimally Acceptable Lifestyle need of $5,623 per month.

The next step is to calculate Paula’s income gap. This is done by subtracting her monthly Social Security retirement benefit from her total required monthly income.

$5,623 minus $2,200 = a monthly income gap of $3,423, or, on an annual basis, $41,076.

Now that we know that Paula needs her saving to fund her annual income need of  $41,076, we turn to Income-to-Assets Ratio. This gives us an uncomplicated way to determine if Paula is a constrained investor.

We simply divide the annual income needed by the amount of assets available to produce income. If the resulting percentage is 3% or higher, the client is a constrained investor.

In Paula’s case, we can see that she is indeed constrained. Dividing her annual income need of $41,076 by $925,000, give us a result of 4.44%. That is greater than 3%, so, Paula is a constrained investor.

What does that really mean? I can answer that in one word: caution.

Paula’s savings will be under pressure to produce monthly income that she must have. I cannot make this point strongly enough. Constrained investors share the common characteristic of having an absolute reliance upon their savings to produce income that is essential. This means that they cannot afford investing mistakes. Constrained investors lack the cash cushion to absorb the losses. Yet, because we seek to generate inflation-adjusted income, constrained investors need to be consistent investors with an appropriate degree of long-term exposure to risk assets.

This conundrum creates the need for an investing framework that delivers positive behavioral characteristics by placing its central emphasis on mitigating risks that can reduce or even entirely consume the retiree’s income. Specifically, I am referring to the management of timing risk and longevity risk.

The Constrained Investor framework features safe monthly paychecks throughout retirement, combined with risk mitigation, making it much easier for the retiree to remain durably invested  in risk assets through all market conditions.

Why Longevity Annuities Must Be Recommended

Constrained investors face a challenge in making their retirement incomes last for life. Systematic withdrawal plans with high “confidence rates” are no substitute for true longevity protection. This is where the recommendation of an annuity is absolutely essential.

If you, like my word-fight-opponent, hold negative views of annuities, it really is past time to let them go. Regardless of your business model, annuities have been transformed in order to easily accommodate your needs.

In my view, RIAs have no excuse to avoid annuities. Plenty are available with no commissions or surrender charges. There are also innovative “Contingent Deferred Annuities” that add lifetime income protection to client portfolios. And there are multiple fiduciary annuity marketplaces that facilitate both product selection and transaction handling. Fiduciary annuities appear in your portfolio management application like any other “wrapped” asset. No longer is there a rational argument to levied against annuities.

Out of Synch with Women’s Needs

If after all of this you still eschew annuities, I have a prediction for you: your rigid thinking is likely to cost you plenty in the years ahead. As women assume control over most of the available wealth assets, the male-dominated advisor community will reckon with a radically altered set of proprieties and investing preferences for which they are generally unprepared. As Blackrock recently stated, “Simply put, when it comes to money, men and women see the world quite differently.” BCG Consulting finds that, “Too many firms rely on broad assumptions about what women are looking for, resulting in products, services and messaging that can feel superficial at best and condescending at worst.”

Prior to launching the industry’s first retirement income solution developed expressly for “boomer” women, my firm did extensive research on gender-based differences in investing preferences. In comparison to men, Blackrock may actually be understating how radically different women in the “boomer” cohort view investing.

Men are all about ROI, historical performance and stock-picking. Considering that 86% of advisors are male, many advisors are currently unprepared to shift their investing orientation toward women’s top priorities: risk reduction, goals and confidence. Adding to this challenge is the phenomenon of male advisors alienating female spouses. When “boomer” husbands pass, seven out of 10 incumbent male advisors are fired by the widow. So, the problems goes well beyond advisors’ long-held investing recommendations. There are cultural, gender bias and stereotyping issues that advisors will also need to address.

What does this have to do with annuities? Everything. Annuities uniquely provide lifetime income security, they reduce risk and they make it easier for clients to reach defined goals. Continued rejection of annuities places advisors’ future success in jeopardy. I’m not overstating what is at stake. If you cannot, or will not, provide what the person who controls the assets is looking for, you will have little chance of gaining or maintaining a relationship.

A New Climate Demands New Answers

With interest rates rising, stock prices dropping, inflation surging and the Fed tightening, the 14-year engineered bull market in equities has ended. Whereas a “reverse dollar-cost-averaging” approach could have worked in the yesterday’s economic climate, it cannot work for millions of constrained investors in today’s.

We have entered a new era notable for a sharp focus on risk mitigation. Unlike my word-fight opponent, it is imperative advisors move past historical prejudices in favor of open-mindedness and a willingness to listen. Clients are not much concerned about annuity sales practices of 10, 20 or 50 years ago. They are, however, concerned about their financial security today, and tomorrow. I believe you will find it both professionally and personally rewarding if you offer them an opportunity to secure tomorrow, today.
