Private Equity Is the Latest Distraction Keeping Investors From Market Returns

Private equity is the product being pushed right now. Investors are constantly told that the next strategy, product, or private-market opportunity could deliver better results. Today, Paul explains how the industry uses those claims to keep investors chasing trends instead of following a consistent, evidence-based approach. Listen along as Paul shares why successful investing requires you to slow down and educate yourself so that you can stop being a sales opportunity for the industry and start making confident investment decisions.    Later in the episode, Paul brings an article called “The Tax Strategy for People Suffering From Stock-Market Success” and talks about why getting lucky on a risky investment strategy could actually be one of the worst things to happen to you because it keeps you from seeing the risks until it’s too late. The conversation focuses on choosing an investment strategy based on tax advantages without considering the whole picture.   Want to cut through the myths about retirement income and learn evidence-based strategies backed by over a century of data?
