In this presentation to the Boston Bogleheads® Chapter (Sept. 12, 2022), Paul presents the “10 most important new lessons learned by The Merriman Financial Education Foundation.” The foundation is celebrating its 10-year anniversary of helping the DIY investor make sound investment decisions for a lifetime and become the best advisor to the most important investor on earth…you! Paul also gives an overview of the 12-million-dollar decisions covered in his book, We’re Talking Millions: 12 Simple Ways to Supercharge Your Retirement.
Stay tuned to about 1:20 for some great questions:
• Does Total Market Index or S&P 500 approximate your 4-Fund approach and which has better returns?
• Are there target date funds that approximate the 4-funds in the equity portion?
• How do you approach international funds in the 4-fund approach?
• What is it about small-cap value companies that gives a premium?
• Can you define ‘value’?
• Is there an advantage to the 4-fund strategy if you’re retired, with a 15-year horizon?
• Which of your Best-in-Class ETF recommendations should I follow?
• Regarding equities and taxable accounts versus tax-advantage accounts, do you mirror the 4-fund across both types accounts and will I have a large tax liability in the taxable account?
