  • Vanguard's Advisor Alpha

    Vanguard's Advisor Alpha
    2025/07/10
    Don is joined by Mike DeJoseph from Vanguard to unpack the meaning and real-world impact of Advisor’s Alpha—Vanguard’s research showing how good financial advisors can add up to 3% annually in net value to client portfolios. They break down the origins of the concept (internally coined back in 2001), clarify what alpha actually means, and dig into where that added value comes from: behavioral coaching, tax-efficient strategies, lower costs, smarter withdrawal planning, and disciplined asset allocation. Mike emphasizes that unlike investment alpha, which is a zero-sum game, advisor alpha is a positive-sum benefit rooted in planning and emotional guidance. They challenge misleading marketing from high-fee brokers, expose the damage of poor advisor behavior, and highlight what separates a “good” advisor from a truly great one—namely, those who align clients’ values with their money. The conversation ends with a forward look at AI’s role in advice: not replacing advisors, but augmenting their ability to listen, guide, and support clients like financial therapists. 0:04 Don introduces rare guest: Mike DeJoseph of Vanguard 0:35 The origin of Vanguard’s Advisor’s Alpha paper 1:27 What is alpha? And what makes it positive for advisors 2:49 Advisor value beyond investment products 3:36 Explaining alpha in terms of benchmarks and behavior 5:05 Why investment alpha is rare, but advisor alpha isn’t 6:25 Positive-sum vs. zero-sum advice outcomes 7:37 Misunderstanding the 3% alpha number 9:48 Behavior, taxes, and cost drag reduce investor returns 11:06 How advisors improve tax allocation and drawdown 11:55 3% does not include asset allocation or manager selection 12:06 Why active manager outperformance remains elusive 13:17 Vanguard’s history with active management and costs 14:45 Active equity vs. active bond management 16:14 What makes an advisor “great,” not just good 17:39 Helping clients align money with values 18:27 Behavioral coaching during market downturns 21:07 Holistic financial advice vs. performance promises 21:47 Why 100% fiduciary advisors are rare—and how to spot one 22:45 Advisor compensation models: from commission to fees 24:06 Shocking stat: commissions down from 80% to 10% since 2010 25:16 How smart investors forced the industry to change 26:44 What a 3% fee does to advisor alpha 28:34 Overcharging kills word-of-mouth trust 29:43 What bad advisor behavior looks like 31:45 Vanguard’s approach to advisor education and ethics 33:41 Where the industry goes next: better advice, better business 34:19 AI’s role in improving advice, not replacing it 36:36 Tech that enhances human connection and insight 37:22 The future: more therapist, less product-seller 37:55 Final advice: if they talk about returns, walk away 38:44 Mike reflects on working with great advisors—and Vanguard’s mission Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Burgers for Bitcoin

    Burgers for Bitcoin
    2025/07/09
    Don and Tom kick off this episode by responding to a one-star Apple Podcast reviewer who promised to upgrade to five stars—if they correct their allegedly false Bitcoin claims. Challenge accepted. Don clarifies his earlier “nobody uses Bitcoin” remark by digging into the actual numbers: only 15,000 businesses worldwide accept it, out of over 359 million—roughly 0.0004%, making it statistically more rare than a lightning strike. They also break down the real costs of converting Bitcoin to dollars: while some exchanges charge under 1%, Bitcoin ATMs routinely charge 5–25% in fees, with total costs sometimes exceeding 30%. Then, a listener calls in with a ChatGPT-generated portfolio featuring VUG, VEA, SMH, and AXON. Don tears it apart for being tech-heavy, overly concentrated, and missing broad market exposure—ironically, even ChatGPT agrees with him. Listeners also get advice on why ETFs are gradually replacing mutual funds, when (if ever) annuities make sense, and why indexed annuities are the financial industry’s version of timeshares: opaque, overpriced, and always sold, never bought. Despite the facts and the humor, Don doubts his five-star redemption is coming—but if Greg’s Mowing and Septic accepts Bitcoin, there’s still hope. 0:26 Don confronts repeat negative podcast reviewers 1:35 NavRep’s public offer: “Correct your Bitcoin lies and I’ll give 5 stars” 2:31 Bitcoin rebuttal: 15,000 businesses accept it—out of 359 million 5:13 Teaser: Bitcoin conversion fees part 2 coming up after the break 6:26 Don admits his imprecise “nobody accepts Bitcoin” claim 8:19 Clearing up the 8% Bitcoin conversion fee claim—context was ATMs 9:49 Bitcoin ATM fees average 17.5%, sometimes hit 30% 11:04 Exchange conversion under 1% is possible—but not for quick cash 13:10 Volatility and impracticality still make Bitcoin a poor currency 16:00 ChatGPT jokes: “Beer at a Baptist wedding” & “Greg the mower” 16:49 Caller Jason asks ChatGPT for a portfolio; Don and Tom cringe 17:46 ChatGPT suggested a tech-heavy, overly concentrated portfolio 20:40 Better suggestions: VT, AVGE, DFAW—not VUG/SMH/AXON 21:50 Don’s GPT criticizes Jason’s GPT: “No bonds, no value, no real estate” 23:43 Caller Scott nails TRM’s philosophy and nearly retires Don 26:12 The rare “pros” of annuities—and their bigger downsides 28:24 Indexed annuities: regular income taxed as ordinary income 30:02 Betting against the house: how annuity math favors insurers 31:44 Caller Jane asks if ETFs are better than mutual funds 32:05 ETF settlement is faster, but that’s not a reason to choose 33:30 Vanguard accounts support ETFs beyond their own funds 34:51 Updated: mutual funds now settle T+1, ETFs also T+1 36:26 Jane warned about National Life Group’s indexed annuity pitch 37:07 Why Don hates indexed annuities: high fees, low returns, opaque structure 39:27 Still selling like hotcakes: $27B in indexed annuities sold Q1 2025 40:35 Wrap-up: annuities remain unethical despite legality and popularity Learn more about your ad choices.
