The State of Retirement Research | #419 (Jean-Pierre Aubry)
In this episode, we are joined by Jean-Pierre Aubry, Associate Director of Retirement Plans and Finance at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, for a research-driven conversation about retirement investing, financial advice, pension fund management, and inflation. Drawing from years of empirical research, Jean-Pierre shares insights into how households actually invest, how financial advisors shape portfolio decisions, and why investors often hold asset allocations that differ from their own stated preferences. We also examine the investment strategies of public pension plans, why their increasing reliance on alternative assets has largely failed to deliver superior performance, and the institutional forces driving those decisions. Finally, Jean-Pierre explains how inflation disproportionately affects retirees, why many households overreact during inflationary periods, and why understanding retirement risks—from market volatility to sequence of returns—is critical for long-term financial security. Key Points From This Episode: Introduction to Jean-Pierre Aubry and the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. The Center's mission: producing objective, accessible retirement policy research. Why investors' actual stock allocations are higher than their stated ideal allocations. Defaults and target-date funds may explain the gap between desired and actual portfolios. Investors tend to underestimate long-term stock returns and overestimate market risk. Financial advisors generally encourage higher equity allocations by reducing investor pessimism. How advisor compensation can create incentives to recommend higher stock exposure. Research showing advisor recommendations vary more across advisors than across client profiles. The "advisor fixed effect": advisors largely recommend portfolios consistent with their own philosophy. Why working with an advisor often leads investors to hold more equities. How target-date funds work and why auto-enrollment is reshaping retirement investing. Why advisors and target-date funds are generally improving retirement security. The evolution of public pension investing from bonds to equities and then alternative assets. The growing influence of consultants and peer effects on public pension investment decisions. Why pension plans with greater allocations to alternatives have generally underperformed peers. Comparing public pension performance against a simple 60/40 index benchmark. Whether indexing may be a better long-term solution for public pension investing. Concerns about adding private assets to default retirement plan options. Maintaining objectivity while researching politically sensitive retirement issues. Why investment policy remains the "final frontier" for improving public pension systems. Why retirees are especially vulnerable to inflation. How inflation affects retirees differently across age and wealth levels. Why households tend to overspend during inflationary periods. How financial advisors adjust recommendations when inflation and interest rates rise. Why inflation ultimately reduces retirement security for many households. Which retirees face the greatest market risk. Why most retirees have little understanding of sequence of returns risk. Advisors understand sequence risk, but that knowledge doesn't appear to transfer to clients. Why declining equity exposure over time remains the canonical life-cycle investing approach. Jean-Pierre's definition of success: purpose, meaningful relationships, and financial security.

"I Sold 50% of My Portfolio. What Now?" | #418 (AMA)
In this AMA episode, Ben Felix, Dan Bortolotti, and Ben Wilson tackle a wide range of practical investing questions submitted by listeners. They begin by discussing one of the most common investing mistakes—market timing—and explain why getting back into the market is often harder than getting out. From there, they explore the evidence behind lump sum investing versus dollar-cost averaging, why high valuations rarely justify sitting in cash, and how your discomfort with investing may reveal a mismatch between your portfolio and your true risk tolerance. The conversation also pulls back the curtain on PWL Capital's investment committee, detailing how new investment products are evaluated, how due diligence is conducted, and why even seemingly simple index funds require ongoing scrutiny. They then examine whether any recent Canadian ETF innovations are genuinely useful, discuss retirement-focused T-Series asset allocation ETFs, debate whether gamified trading creates opportunities for active management, and respond to questions about inflation, currency debasement, and the real drivers of long-term stock returns. As always, the episode closes with a lighter listener question before reading a review from the audience. Key Points From This Episode: Introduction and why AMA episodes continue to resonate with listeners. A listener asks how to reinvest after selling half their portfolio over bubble concerns. Why successful market timing requires being right twice. Why all-time market highs are normal and poor signals for investment decisions. What market valuations can—and cannot—tell us about future returns. The evidence comparing lump sum investing with dollar-cost averaging. Why even the worst historical entry points rarely favor dollar-cost averaging. How investment anxiety often points to an overly aggressive asset allocation. The psychology of buying after market crashes and why investors rarely do. Why the best strategy is often whichever gets you invested and keeps you there. A behind-the-scenes look at PWL Capital's investment committee. How new securities are researched, reviewed, and approved. How acquisitions have changed the firm's investment oversight process. Annual due diligence on ETF providers and fund managers. Why even plain-vanilla index funds require performance monitoring. Are there any genuinely innovative new Canadian ETFs? Why most ETF innovation is driven by investor demand rather than better investing. Avantis ETFs and discount bond ETFs as notable recent developments. Why ETF issuers tend to launch products after investment themes become popular. Where investors should spend their planning time when wealth is still relatively small. Why growing human capital often has a greater impact than optimizing investments. Budgeting, saving, and account selection early in an investing journey. BMO's new T-Series asset allocation ETFs and how they generate retirement income. Understanding managed distributions and return of capital. Why these retirement ETFs may suit DIY investors but not every retiree. Whether gamified trading and meme stocks create opportunities for active managers. What the evidence says about active management in small-cap growth stocks. Why market competition limits persistent opportunities from retail speculation. Do stocks only rise because governments debase currencies? Inflation measurement, currency debasement, and common misconceptions. Why productive businesses—not money printing alone—drive long-term stock returns. Ben answers a listener's basketball shoe question. A listener review from Switzerland and closing remarks.

A Financial Plan For Your Entire Life | #417 (Dr. Paul Kaplan)
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Paul Kaplan, economist, CFA charterholder, former Director of Research at Morningstar Canada, and co-author of Lifetime Financial Advice, for a fascinating exploration of life cycle finance. Drawing on decades of research in economics, portfolio construction, and asset allocation, Paul explains how financial planning should be grounded in optimizing lifetime consumption rather than relying on disconnected rules of thumb. We explore how life cycle finance integrates consumption, saving, investing, and retirement spending into a single framework, why risk tolerance and risk capacity are fundamentally different concepts, and how human capital should be treated as part of an investor's balance sheet. Paul also walks through the life cycle model he and Tom Idzorek developed, explains why traditional retirement rules like the 4% rule lack theoretical foundations, and demonstrates an open-source spreadsheet that allows anyone to experiment with the model for themselves. This conversation brings together economics, portfolio theory, and financial planning into a practical framework for making better lifetime financial decisions. Key Points From This Episode: Introduction to Dr. Paul Kaplan and the topic of life cycle finance. What life cycle finance is and why consumption smoothing is its central objective. How life cycle models optimize saving, investing, retirement spending, insurance, and annuities. Linking life cycle finance with Harry Markowitz's mean-variance optimization. Why consumption—not wealth accumulation—is the true focus of financial planning. The concept of an economic balance sheet: financial assets, human capital, liabilities, and net worth. Holistic investor profiling beyond traditional risk tolerance questionnaires. Why risk tolerance and risk capacity should never be combined into a single score. Assessing the risk characteristics of human capital. Applying utility theory behind the scenes in financial planning software. Sample profiling questions that measure lifetime consumption preferences. Why maximizing lifetime utility ultimately means optimizing consumption. How preferences, needs, and circumstances shape lifetime financial plans. The primary outputs of a life cycle model: consumption and asset allocation. The roles of life insurance and annuities in lifetime financial planning. How uncertain investment returns influence both spending and asset allocation. Why longevity assumptions are critical in retirement planning. Simplifying complex life cycle optimization into practical formulas. Why life cycle finance challenges rules of thumb like the 4% withdrawal rule. Flexible retirement spending versus fixed withdrawal strategies. Why consumption should be treated as an output rather than an input. The importance of asset location and after-tax portfolio construction. Why asset allocation and asset location should be solved simultaneously. Harry Markowitz on why asset allocation became the foundation of modern investing. The need for financial planning software built on life cycle theory. A walkthrough of Paul's open-source life cycle finance spreadsheet. Understanding economic balance sheets and asset mix visualizations. Which investor characteristics have the greatest influence on optimal asset allocation. Why Nobel Prize-winning life cycle finance research has yet to become mainstream practice. The evolving role of financial advisors in helping clients make rational financial decisions. How Paul's own investment philosophy emphasizes indexing and asset allocation. Factor investing, popularity theory, and connecting behavioral finance with asset pricing. Paul's definition of success: applying first principles with rigor and integrity throughout his career.

Is VEQT Costing You? (& Other Questions) | #416
In this AMA episode, Benjamin Felix, Dan Bortolotti, and Ben Wilson tackle a wide range of listener questions covering portfolio construction, diversification, active management, pensions, fiduciary duty, and short-term investing decisions. They examine whether breaking apart all-in-one ETFs is worth the complexity, why global diversification remains the default despite long stretches of underperformance, and how investors should think about risk when they have defined benefit pensions or short-term financial goals. Along the way, they discuss the limits of active management, why simplicity often beats optimization, and even reveal their favorite board games. Key Points From This Episode: Whether investors should replace asset allocation ETFs with individual component ETFs to save on management fees. Why simplicity has real economic value—and how small fee savings compare to behavioral costs. Portfolio drift, rebalancing discipline, and the hidden costs of managing multiple ETFs. How recent fee reductions narrowed the cost gap between VEQT and its component funds. When using individual ETF components may make sense for larger portfolios or asset location strategies. The hosts share their favorite board games—and why poker has surprising parallels to investing. What true diversification actually means beyond simply owning the S&P 500. Why the global market portfolio remains the logical starting point for most investors. Addressing claims that modern index funds have become "too concentrated." Why active managers tend to lose their edge as assets under management grow. Diminishing returns to scale and the efficient market for manager skill. How defined benefit pensions should factor into portfolio construction and risk capacity. Understanding fiduciary duty for Canadian portfolio managers and financial advisors. Why publicly holding yourself out as a fiduciary carries legal and ethical implications. Can individual investors outperform active funds by picking stocks themselves? Why time, effort, and research alone rarely translate into market-beating performance. Why international stocks have lagged U.S. equities—and why diversification still matters. The role of valuation expansion in explaining decades of U.S. outperformance. How to invest money earmarked for a home down payment over a three-to-five-year horizon. Applying the same time-horizon framework to RESP investing and education savings.

Shannon Lee Simmons: How To Stop Feeling Broke | #415
In this episode, we are joined by Shannon Lee Simmons—Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Investment Manager, bestselling author, and founder of the New School of Finance—for a wide-ranging conversation about the emotional side of money. Drawing on more than two decades of working directly with Canadians, Shannon explains why financial stress has become so pervasive, how social comparison shapes spending habits, and why a well-built financial plan can be one of the most powerful antidotes to money anxiety. We also explore decision-making during financial crises, the psychology of regret, why traditional budgeting often fails, and how couples navigate money differently—particularly in retirement. Shannon shares practical frameworks for aligning spending with personal values, avoiding emotional financial mistakes, and helping households make confident decisions through life's biggest transitions. Key Points From This Episode: Why people worry about money—and why financial uncertainty often feels like uncertainty about life itself. Why so many middle- and upper-income Canadians still feel broke despite earning good incomes. The importance of having a financial plan and reducing harmful social comparison. How social media fuels overspending, comparison, and "financial dysmorphia." Why cashless spending has fundamentally changed our relationship with money. How perceived life milestones—especially home ownership—shape financial decisions and expectations. Practical ways to manage financial stress, restore confidence, and build resilience. The growing "spending arms race" and how rising expectations have redefined what's considered normal. Why Shannon dislikes traditional budgeting—and what to do instead.

Why retirement often reveals differences in couples' relationships with money that never surfaced while saving. The psychological challenge of withdrawing from investment portfolios after decades of accumulation. Using cash wedges and realistic retirement projections to reduce anxiety around spending in retirement. How saver-versus-spender dynamics can evolve into power struggles during retirement. The question almost every client is really asking: "Am I going to be okay?" Why planners should ask about clients' hidden DIY investment accounts. <p d

Answering Your Financial Questions | #414
In this episode, Ben Felix and Ben Wilson tackle a wide range of listener questions covering portfolio construction, home-country bias, currency exposure, ETF selection, retirement decumulation, leasing versus buying a car, discounted cash flow valuations, and the real work of portfolio management. Along the way, they revisit the Rational Reminder model portfolios, discuss how new products like CAGE have changed the DIY investing landscape, and explore whether Warren Buffett's long-term record still provides evidence that active management can outperform. The conversation also offers a behind-the-scenes look at PWL Capital's planning-centric approach to wealth management and why helping clients make better financial decisions often matters more than portfolio construction itself. Key Points From This Episode: Why AMA episodes have become less frequent despite hundreds of listener questions waiting to be answered. Ben shares observations from PWL's growing institutional investment business and why low-cost, planning-focused institutional advice remains surprisingly rare. Revisiting the original Rational Reminder model portfolios and how newer products have simplified implementation.

What portfolio managers at PWL actually do when they are not trying to beat the market. Concentrated stock positions, client coaching, and helping investors make better long-term decisions.

Ben Carlson: Investing at All-Time Highs | #412
In this episode, we are joined by Ben Carlson, Director of Institutional Asset Management at Ritholtz Wealth Management and author of Risk & Reward, for a wide-ranging conversation about market history, investor psychology, and the realities of long-term investing. Ben brings his trademark blend of data-driven thinking and plainspoken storytelling to topics like market crashes, inflation, diversification, and why investors are so tempted to time the market. We explore the lessons from Japan's historic asset bubble, the lingering impact of the Great Depression, and why diversification remains one of the few true free lunches in investing. Ben also explains the difference between volatility and risk, why the stock market is not the economy, and how investor behavior—not market performance—is often the biggest determinant of success. Along the way, we discuss inflation hedges, lost decades, speculative behavior, and the psychological challenge of staying invested through inevitable downturns. Key Points From This Episode: Introducing Ben Carlson, his new book Risk & Reward, and his long-running blog A Wealth of Common Sense. Why investors shouldn't panic about investing at all-time highs. The Japanese bubble and crash as one of history's biggest market anomalies. Why Japan's long-term returns look very different when viewed over 50 years. Lessons from the Great Depression and the worst stock market crash in U.S. history. Why the best long-term returns often follow the worst crashes. The role of diversification and self-awareness in managing portfolio risk. Defining investment success by achieving personal goals—not beating benchmarks. Why inflation feels so painful psychologically for investors and households. Ben's three favorite long-term inflation hedges: human capital, housing, and stocks. Why market timing is psychologically seductive—and so difficult to execute successfully. Why handling losses is the single most important skill in investing. How devastating the economic side of the Great Depression really was. What policymakers learned from the Great Depression and 2008. The difference between recessionary and non-recessionary bear markets. Why the biggest up days and down days tend to cluster together in bear markets. Preparing for inevitable bear markets with a durable long-term plan. Why the stock market and the economy can diverge dramatically. The difference between volatility and risk—and why risk is often personal. Why comparing the stock market to a casino is fundamentally wrong. How modern investing platforms encourage speculative behavior. How extreme Japan's 1980s asset bubble became before collapsing. The most important diversification lessons from Japan's lost decades. How common "lost decades" actually are in stock market history. Three dimensions of diversification: geography, asset class, and strategy. Why there is no perfect portfolio—only the right portfolio for you. Common ways investors lose money in markets. Why investors should be skeptical of billionaire market predictions. Ben's evolving definition of success and raising good, kind children.
