    The Rise of Private Markets and Alternative Investments with Steve Zuschin

    The shift towards private ownership and alternative assets presents opportunities for investors and advisors. However, operational efficiency, including data accessibility, streamlining operations, and automating processes, often burdens advisors when navigating this space. Having innovative solutions and a team specializing in private markets and alternative investments makes it easier for advisors to create and manage these assets with speed and scale. In this episode, Jack Sharry talks with Steve Zuschin, Chief Revenue Officer at Mammoth Technology, about the growing interest in private markets and alternative investments. Steve explores the challenges advisors and firms face in navigating the complexities of these investments, including operational hurdles, data management, and client experience. He also shares insights on how to streamline processes, leverage technology, and position firms as leaders in the private market space.

To diversify these investments, we have to access them in private markets." ~ Steve Zuschin [16:44] - "We really want to remove that burden from the operations team and create a better experience for the field of advisors to learn about new deals that are available to them, that their compliance team and due diligence have gone through, as well as a standardized transaction process for them to go through on behalf of the clients." ~ Steve Zuschin [20:42] - "If you don't have a team in place that's looking at the innovations around private markets, try and get someone, whether it's a consultant or somebody else who's out there looking at the markets. Because whether you're curious or interested in making these deals for your clients, if you're working with high-net-worth clients, they're going to make these deals with or without you." ~ Steve Zuschin Links  Steve Zuschin on LinkedIn Northwestern Mutual Mammoth Technology iCapital SEI Mongol Ecology Center Rally for Rangers Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

    Tax-Smart Strategies for Maximizing Retirement Income with Paul Samuelson and Mark Hoffman

    Taxes are a major concern for both investors and advisors. As such, minimizing tax liability is a priority in wealth management. Asset location, a strategy that places assets in the most tax-efficient accounts, can significantly enhance a portfolio's overall efficiency. While this approach can be a multi-account exercise, having a modern portfolio management system equipped with tax-smart technology can streamline this process and effectively coordinate unified managed household accounts. In this episode, Jack Sharry talks with LifeYield's Founder and Chief Investment Officer, Paul Samuelson, and CEO, Chairman, and Founder Mark Hoffman. Paul has written algorithms that power investment software for more than four decades. He’s spent the past 16+ years devising algorithms around minimizing taxes and maximizing retirement income, all part of a robust asset location process. Mark turns Paul's algorithms into industrial-strength software used by many of the largest financial institutions in the world. They discuss asset location and tax-smart strategies to minimize tax liabilities and maximize retirement income. In this episode: [01:46] - Asset location explained [03:05] - The evolution of holistic wealth management [04:36] - What inspired Paul to help advisors produce better outcomes [08:00] - Harnessing the potential of asset location [11:50] - LifeYield's capacity to scale and operationalize asset location  [14:08] - The difference between single-account and multi-account tax-loss harvesting [15:44] - The benefits of modern portfolio management systems [17:29] - The model portfolio in wealth management [18:50] - The importance of asset location to boomers [22:35] - Key takeaways and final thoughts Quotes [04:08] - "Financial planning systems are one good way to look at multiple accounts. And then, to have the financial plan implemented, you really need to consider asset location." ~ Mark Hoffman [06:56] - "Certain assets are likely to be more tax-inefficient, but they don't always land the way you would expect. So, for investors who happen to hold low turnover stock portfolios, you can effectively have quite tax-efficient equity investing as long as you're willing to pay great attention to sales of stock." ~ Paul Samuelson [22:57] - "Asset location, placing the most tax-efficient assets in your taxable accounts and the least tax-efficient assets in the qualified accounts, raises the after-tax return of your portfolio. That means you'll get more balance, which can create more income. Asset location is the dominant form of tax alpha you'll get." ~ Mark Hoffman [23:50] - "The real opportunity in looking at all the household assets is that you're going to be able to pick up some of the client accounts that have been unmanaged or very poorly managed. It's an opportunity for the advisors and a real service to the clients." ~ Paul Samuelson Links  Mark Hoffman on LinkedIn Paul Samuelson on LinkedIn Investment and Wealth Institute Envestnet EY Morningstar Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

And I sincerely answer, by how many people walk the halls with a smile on their face.” ~ Ryan Hicke “When I think opportunity, it’s not just earnings per share opportunity, it’s really growth. The opportunity to really maximize, to become more efficient as an organization. That’s what I’m really focused on—top-line revenue growth, optimizing the business, and really that return to investors.” ~ Sean Denham “No one in today’s society wants to be sold to. They want to be educated. So how do we use data? How do we craft storytelling around that to go educate the market? Not just with us, but also our competitors. That’s the opportunity sitting in front of us.” ~ Sean Denham Links  SEI Ryan Hicke on LinkedIn Sean Denham on LinkedIn BlackRock LifeYield Grant Thornton Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

It's about recognizing that some parts fit together better than others." ~ Martin Cowley [14:08] - "Tax management isn't just tax slots. It's the location and having a machine that is not dependent on underlying trading systems but looks across all these things as holdings that we can score anywhere." ~ Eric Lordi [30:47] - "Everything we've done has to be flexible because we are looking across multiple companies and client firms. It doesn't have to all be stitched tightly on day one. Those walls aren't going to break down overnight.

    WealthTech in the Weeds with Ted Dimig and Mark Hoffman

    WealthTech in the Weeds is a series in which we talk to industry experts about the details of building an effective, productive, coordinated, and comprehensive advice system.

They discuss trends like tax optimization and the role of modern technology in enhancing advisory practices. They explore the challenges and strategies involved in operationalizing these innovations, emphasizing the necessity of embracing technology to improve client outcomes.

Being able to explain to them the savings and why you're doing certain things reduces the trading that you have to do." ~ Mark Hoffman [17:11] - "Technology allows you to be more holistic. It allows you to make all the connections and to do things right. And that frees up the advisor to have a conversation at the client's own level." ~ Mark Hoffman [26:06] - "You need to embrace technology if you want to be a winner in the personalization space, in the end-to-end client investment journey, and in the tax space. So those who don't adopt will be left behind." ~ Ted Dimig Links  Ted Dimig on LinkedIn Mark Hoffman on LinkedIn J.P.
