    Why Advisors Go Independent

    On this episode of Talking Wealth, Josh Brown sits down with Kevin Thompson, Founder of 9i Capital Group, to unpack the biggest issues facing financial advisors and investors today. They break down Wealthfront’s rocky IPO and cash-heavy business model, and debate private market exposure in 401(k)s as BlackRock pushes forward.

    The Lie on Both Sides of Investment Management

    Investment management has become strangely polarizing in the advisory industry. On one end, many “planning-led” firms treat portfolios as a commodity—something clients can DIY or outsource entirely because “markets are efficient anyway.” On the other, some firms still rely on outdated investment storytelling: credentials, access, and vague promises of outperformance. On this episode of Talking Wealth, Michael Batnick sits down with Zach Conway to argue for a rational middle ground. We talk about why investment management still matters, where advisors actually add value, and why even the best firms struggle to deliver that value at scale. We dig into the real problems—lack of a client-to-portfolio framework, clunky implementation, and manual trading—and how modern platforms are changing the way advisors personalize portfolios, manage taxes, and reclaim time to spend with clients. If you think investment management is either “dead” or all smoke and mirrors, this conversation will change how you see it. This episode is sponsored by Betterment Advisor Solutions.

    When Alts Go Bad: The BlueRock Blowup and a Liquidity Wake-Up Call

    On this episode of Talking Wealth, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood—and increasingly controversial—corners of investing: alternatives. Over the past few years, interval funds and other semi-liquid vehicles have exploded in popularity, promising access to private markets with smoother returns and less volatility. But as recent events around BlueRock have made painfully clear, the structure matters just as much as the strategy. My guest today is Leyla Kunimoto, co-founder of Accredited Investor Insights, and one of the leading experts on private investment funds and fiduciary responsibility. In this conversation, we’re going to break down what actually went wrong, how interval funds really work when markets turn, and—most importantly—what investors and advisors must understand before allocating capital to alternative investments.
