    06/08/2026 | 33 mins.
    How much money do you actually need to start an RIA? On this episode of Talking Wealth, Michael Batnick asked Tobias Salinger, Chief Correspondent at Financial Planning, who has probably talked to more first year firm owners than anyone alive. He wrote a 30 part series on the whole thing, from launch to exit.They covered the stuff nobody tells you before you leave. What it costs on day one. How long until the business pays you anything. Compliance, tech, custodians, and everything in between. If you’re thinking about going out on your own, or you already did and you’re wondering if your numbers are normal, watch this one.

    Is the 60/40 Portfolio Too Conservative? | Ben with Benefits

    30/07/2026 | 35 mins.
    Is the traditional 60/40 portfolio too conservative for retirement? On this episode of Ben with Benefits, Ben Carlson sits down with Bob Pozen, Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan, former executive at Fidelity and MFS, and bestselling author of Extreme Productivity, to discuss his controversial 90/10 retirement portfolio framework. They debate how much risk retirees really need to take, sequence-of-returns risk, whether today's higher bond yields change the equation, and why many investors may be holding too much in fixed income. They also explore the future of AI-driven productivity and what it could mean for long-term investors.

    The ETF Industry Has Lost Its Mind

    23/07/2026 | 44 mins.
    ETFs have completely transformed how we invest for our clients. Cheaper, more tax-efficient, more transparent — it's been one of the great wins for investors over the last twenty-five years.

    But folks, we are not in Kansas anymore. The same wrapper that gave us three basis point index funds is now giving us double-levered single stocks, funds that hold literal sports bets — there's a filing right now for an ETF that would hold 40 to 80 event contracts on NFL and NBA games. Not the sportsbook stocks. The bets themselves. And at the very same time, the boring stuff keeps getting better — BlackRock and State Street just launched Nasdaq 100 funds at 10 basis points, coming straight for the Qs.

    So it's the best of times and the weirdest of times in ETF land, and there is nobody better to walk us through it than James Seyffart of Bloomberg Intelligence.
