  • #54 Navigating Investment Choices: Active vs. Passive Investing
    Jan 7 2025

    Can active investing outpace its passive counterpart, or is the human touch an unnecessary expense? Get ready to explore these intriguing questions with us, Aaron Hoisington and Ryan Nelson, founder of Alchemy Wealth Management, on the Fiscal Physical Podcast. We pull back the curtain on these investment strategies, breaking down the role of a portfolio manager in active investing and its associated costs. Contrast that with the cost-effective, hands-off approach of passive investing, and you're left with a debate that has investors on both sides of the fence. Ryan sheds light on his role as a financial advisor, clarifying that portfolio management fees don't play a part in his services, leaving listeners with insights to better navigate their investment choices.

    But it's not all numbers and finance; we shift gears to share our personal encounters with fear and phobias. From the adrenaline rush of skydiving to an unexpected moment of trepidation on the Space Needle's rotating glass floor, we recount experiences that might just resonate with your own brushes with fear. We also dive into the peculiar world of trypophobia, where clusters of holes can send shivers down your spine. As we wrap up, we extend our gratitude to our listeners and dish out a dose of encouragement to stick to those New Year's resolutions. Whether you're here for financial wisdom or a good story, we've got a little something for everyone.

    Curious about how you can harness the power of modern portfolio theory to enhance your financial fitness? On this special year-end edition of the Fiscal Physical Podcast, we promise to unravel the intricacies of diversification and the efficient frontier to help you build a balanced investment portfolio. I’m joined by Ryan Nelson, founder of Alchemy Wealth Management and author of "Your Fiscal Physical: Seven Keys to Becoming Financially Fit," as we explore these fundamental concepts pioneered by Nobel laureate Harry Markowitz. Together, we dissect how strategic investment combinations, rather than just owning a variety of stocks, can reduce portfolio risk.

    Our conversation ventures into the realm of futuristic possibilities in technology and transportation. Reflecting on decades of technological leaps—from the Y2K era to the dawn of 2025—we consider what the future holds with innovations like autonomous vehicles, the Hyperloop, and even recreational space travel. Sharing personal anecdotes about self-driving cars in San Francisco, we also ponder the implications of artificial intelligence and advancements in medicine. This engaging discussion offers a glimpse into how these developments might reshape our world in the coming years, sparking both excitement and curiosity.

    To wrap up, we emphasize the importance of staying informed on your personal finance journey. With a plethora of resources available, including Ryan’s insightful book and the Alchemy Wealth Management website, you have the tools at your disposal to make informed financial decisions. We invite listeners to subscribe, rate, and review our podcast to stay updated on the latest episodes, and encourage you to send in your questions or topic suggestions. Remember, personal finance is unique to each individual, and our insights are meant to inform and entertain rather than serve as specific advice.
