Advisor Caught Stealing?

SUMMARY:

On today’s Five in Twenty video, Casey and Brad tackle five topics in less than twenty minutes! Topics include just like 2000, advisor caught stealing, digital assets, wrong market analysis, and free money.

Just Like 2000

Are there similarities between tech stocks now vs tech stocks in the year 2000?

Advisor Caught Stealing

This occurred at a firm in Miami, FL. These investment professionals abused their position and acted in a fraudulent way.

Digital Assets

Digital asset investments saw a third consecutive week of outflows totaling $75 million USD.

Wrong Market Analysis

Mechanical models and predictions are more accurate than those made by a person. Aggregating forecasts can reduce noise, but not necessarily bias.

Free Money

There have been unintended consequences due to stimulus checks that have affected many families.

Thanks to their proactive strategies, my portfolio has seen steady growth even in a volatile market. From the very first consultation, I felt valued and understood.

We have worked with Wiser Wealth Management for two years and we are very pleased with the results. Missie and Michaela are a pleasure to work with as well as being very knowledgeable in all financial areas. They not only give good investment advice but have referred us to excellent local professionals when needed. They are quick to respond to any request. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm and Missie and Michaela in particular.

I hired Wiser Wealth to do a flat fee plan as I am entering retirement soon. I had 3 detailed and informative meeting to go over my goals and financial situation. Shawna and Will took the time to get to know me as a person; were relatable and broke down their recommendations in a way that was easy to digest. They were responsive to my questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend Wiser for anyone who needs a second opinion on retirement planning.

I couldn’t be happier with the personalized approach at Wiser Wealth Management! My advisor, Missie, takes the time to ask detailed questions and truly understand my unique financial goals. Her in-depth approach has made all the difference, helping me feel more confident in my financial journey. I see myself getting closer to my goals each day and am thrilled with the tailored guidance and growth I’ve experienced with Wiser. If you’re looking for a financial partner who genuinely cares and offers a personalized touch, I highly recommend Wiser Wealth and their incredible team!

We are very grateful for Wiser and the service they provide - they truly have our best interest at heart. Missie Beach has the heart of a teacher, and not only gave us great advice, but helped us fully understand the “why.” The financial world can be murky, mischievous, deceptive…Wiser doesn’t play those games. We look forward to being long-time clients.

We've had the pleasure of working with Wiser Wealth Management for over ten years, and we can't recommend them enough! From the moment my wife and I walked in, the team at Wiser Wealth made us feel welcomed and valued. They took the time to understand our financial goals and provided tailored advice that has truly made a difference over the years.Their expertise in investment strategies and retirement planning is impressive. As a fiduciary firm we appreciated their transparent approach—no hidden fees, just straightforward guidance. They also run investment risk scenarios which analyze historical data to test your portfolio in the worse possible markets to ensure you will still meet your financial goals.Overall, Wiser Wealth is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for personalized financial services. If you want a team that genuinely cares about your financial success, look no further than Casey, Missie, Michaela, Tiffany and the team!

Wiser Wealth Managment was recommended to me, and after spending a few months working with them on a fee only financial plan, I am more than happy to recommend them for your needs. For reference, I was working with Missie Beach and Michaela Dowdy, and cant say enough about their promptness and communication style. Their attention to details, and guidance on complicated comparisons when it comes to choices that need to be made for my pre retirement issues were immensely helpful.

I'm grateful for the guidance and expert assistance of the Wiser Wealth Management team as I go into retirement. Missy and Michaela are professional and pleasant to work with. They have excellent financial knowledge, but the way they personalized a plan for us and answered our many questions is the true value to us. Their unhurried approach made us feel comfortable to ask any question and not feel uncomfortable. There are so many unknowns and going into the process we were quite nervous about it, but after each meeting we walked away feeling confident in our plan.

We have been with Casey for thirteen years and has proven to be an exceptional wealth manager. He and his staff have our total trust!

We are so thankful for Casey and his team at Wiser Wealth Management. The team is always available for any questions, their planning process is very detailed, and we trust their advice.

Shawna and William have been fantastic at guiding us towards our financial goals . They listened well, made excellent suggestions and entertained a lot of questions. We love that they were not just pushing big firm mutual funds on us. Rather, they looked over all areas of our finances (not just 401k) and helped assure us that actions we were taking now would be realized in the future. Lots of achievable short term and realistic actions to help us along the way. We could not recommend this firm enough!

Major airline Captain. Was recommended to Casey through a friend of mine and I am glad I went with him. Love his non-fee based approach. God willing for the next 37 years, that would be a substancial amount. I feel confident in calling Casey for a quick question to make sure I am following a good path. He always is responsive within the same day. Highly remind him if you are an airline guy!

My wife and I could not be more pleased with the entire Wiser team. They have done an amazing job of managing our portfolio and walking us through our recent transition to retirement. We are confident that they have our best interest at heart. On top of that, they are just nice folks to work with!
