Letter to Stakeholders, March 2023

Hello Everyone and welcome to another great episode of the JOY of Financial Planning podcast.

The topics of this podcast are a compliment to the book JOY of Financial Planning, available at Amazon.com

JOY of Financial Planning is about the belief that we can overcome the unique economic, and life challenges we face as a generation. We believe we can do this by first getting our economic house in order. In fact, we have, no other choice. We must grow our wealth, follow our passions, and live with compassion to find creative ways to achieve our own version of the American Dream. This podcast is for the "firsts" in their family who suffer from a little "imposter syndrome." Don't worry I won't tell anyone. This is for those, who are the first generation in their family to do well financially. And now you need a little more information to get to the next level. Hopefully the content here helps you to feel more confident, expressive and meaningful.

This episode and others in this series, is a transcription of this month’s Letter to Stakeholders I write for the wealth management clients of Jason Howell Company and our broader community network. Go to JasonHowell.com/blog for additional insights, episode links or just to contact us.

In this episode I talk briefly about high-frequency stock trading and the power of algorithms affecting the ups and downs of the stock market. I also talk a little more about the different kinds of "structured notes" (income and growth). Finally I ask, "Would it help?" You'll want to listen to hear what I'm asking about.

How to Fight Hunger and Climate Change

How to Fight Hunger and Climate Change

"Be conscious, be wise about you handle food; about how you prepare food; about the food waste that you're creating. Be aware of your neighbor. One of the unfortunate benefits of food insecurity going through the roof with the pandemic was, the people in high food security, overnight, became food insecure. Of no fault of their own. And that's often what happens. We think that people choose to be or put themselves in the position to be food insecure but there are so many random circumstances that happen. So be aware of your neighbor. And as a community let's help each other out. And food is an easy way to do that. Whether it's volunteering, donating to your local pantry, helping out with the distribution, let's help each other out; be a community. And let's take care of this very basic need for everyone."- Aaron Tolson, CEO, Northern Virginia Food Rescue

What if I told you there was a way to support #2 and #13 of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals? And that if you lived in and around the Commonwealth of Virginia, you could see this impact locally? Listen in to Aaron Tolson, CEO of Northern Virginia Food Rescue as he describes the history of this young organization that is using their Food Rescue Hero technology to rally a community of millions. County by county, neighborhood by neighborhood, Aaron and his team have a not-so-secret mission to end hunger in Virginia or at least ensure that food is accessible to everyone who wants it. All we have to do is eliminate food waste and as a byproduct, reduce methane gases which will preserve the atmosphere on our planet #WinWinWin

Watch until the end where we make a major philanthropic announcement.

Here are a few of the questions Aaron was kind enough to answer:

  • Out of all of the "causes" in the world, why hunger?
  • What is "food access," "food security" and "food resiliency?"
  • Tell us more about your "community feeding taskforce
  • How has your "Food Rescue Hero" app made the difference?
  • What are your short-term and long-term goals?
  • How can we help?

Aligning Sustainability in the Global Bond Market

Aligning Sustainability in the Global Bond Market

Engage you financial advisor as to how you can have your portfolio reflect your values. There are tools that are evolving and more importantly, have yet to evolve to keep on your radar.- Patrick T. Drum, CFP®, CFA®, MBA

How can you use debt (bonds) rather than equity (stocks) as a more effective way to align sustainable investing values? Join Patrick Drum of Saturna Capital for an important discussion about sustainable investing in sovereign bonds all over the world. Patrick has been integrating ESG considerations into fixed-income portfolios since 2006; he's been a fixed-income analyst/portfolio manager since 2005 and been part of the investment industry since 1996. Watch and listen to what he has to say about possible yields in the sovereign bonds of Brazil and Mexico -you'll be glad you did.

In our discussion Patrick answers in detail:

  • How using the bond (vs. equity) markets can more positively impact sustainability
  • How emerging market investing is truly different from investing in developed bond markets
  • How Patrick finds quality bond issuers (he shares some of his process)
  • How Russia's war with Ukraine is affecting global fixed income markets
  • What Patrick sees as the future trends for ESG-focused sovereign bond investing

A lot has happened since then. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), has drastically interrupted our way of life and ended the lives of over a half of million people worldwide. These are serious times.

With my family wealth management firm, I often collaborate with experts to provide families specialized service.

COVID-19 has created unexpected challenges in all areas of life, including marriage.  Certified Divorce Analyst Joan Coullahan (FinancialDivorceExpert.com) shared her experiences with preparing pre-divorce, preserving finances and starting a "new" life after it's all over. If you or a friend could use this information, watch and learn.

JOY of Harmony: Family Governance

JOY of Harmony: Family Governance

Family Governance (my definition):  The wealthy family’s system for nurturing values, traditions and wealth that is passed on to the next generation.” 

This episode’s topic isn’t very common but will feel familiar once you start learning about it. In the book I call it, the “Joy of Harmony” but in the real world it’s just called, “family governance” and it's the first of seven strategies for transforming your finances and achieving your American Dream.  

The topics of this podcast are a compliment to the book Joy of Financial Planning, now slated to launch in the Fall of this year, 2019.  The book covers the 7 joys I associate with the benefits of financial planning.  It is about our desire to overcome the economic challenges we face as a generation, our ability to do so with the tools of financial planning and the need for us to succeed; for our sake and the sake of the American Dreams of those who come after us.  

I hope you enjoy the episode, feel free to rate it and send your feedback to Jason@JasonHowell.com
