Phil Huber, Savant Wealth Management-Returns For 60/40 Stock Bond Mix Is Significantly Lower Now Than It Has Been In Past | #374

E374 • Dec 6, 2021 • 71 mins

In episode 374, we welcome our guest, Phil Huber, Chief Investment Officer of Savant Wealth management, an independent, fee-only wealth management firm, and the author of The Allocator's Edge: A modern guide to alternative investments and the future of diversification. In today’s episode, we’re talking all things alternatives! With the traditional 60/40 portfolio facing some headwinds going forward, investors and advisors may be looking to add alternatives to their portfolios, so Phil wrote an overview of the different alternative asset classes. We walk through the different alternatives, what sleeve of the 60/40 they should replace, and then talk about the behavioral aspects of implementing some of these ideas.

Key Points

  • Investors and advisors looking to diversify their portfolios can consider adding alternative investments such as reinsurance, managed futures, and middle market direct lending which offer structural non-correlation and the potential for meaningful real returns.
  • The collectibles space, including art and memorabilia, has become more accessible to investors through fractional ownership platforms, presenting a novel but speculative investment opportunity that warrants a cautious and informed approach.
  • The evolving landscape of alternative investments suggests that future portfolios may differ significantly from the traditional 60/40 stock-bond allocation, as advisors and investors increasingly seek out uncorrelated assets and strategies in response to concerns about lower expected returns and inflation.
