WTF is an NFT?

Tue, 13 Apr 2021 17:00:27 GMT

After the hilarity of our April Fool’s “NFT Launch” and our episode about the campaign on Build In Public, one question has remained for many advisors: WTF is an NFT anyway?

Marketing Associate Martina Beda joins Jeff Goodnow to solve this riddle in 10 questions:

WTF is an NFT by definition?
WTF does “fungible” mean?
Are NFTs the same as cryptocurrency?
How are these used AND WHY?
Who is the primary audience?
How do you buy or sell?
What NFTs have Martina acquired?
How are NFTs being used as a vehicle to drive the purchase of non-digital items?
Why do creators love the concept?
Why do collectors love the concept?

Advisor Communication is Broken

Tue, 09 Feb 2021 16:07:16 GMT

It’s a hard truth to face, but the fact is the way advisors communicate to clients is broken. Just because it’s always been done a certain way, doesn’t mean it will always work – or – as we say for investments, “past returns are not always indicative of future success.”

We are very intentional about how we communicate here at Potomac, and we believe how you communicate is an opportunity many advisors don’t fully realize. We break down:

Voice vs. Industry Talk
Planned Content vs. On-Demand
Gated Content vs Transparency

Lessons from a Home Builder

Wed, 04 Nov 2020 16:40:41 GMT

One opportunity we don’t hear talked about enough, is learning from people outside the industry. What can advisors pick up from other small business owners? What success can they replicate with their own clients and prospects?

Our guest this week, Brett Clarke, an Orion Portfolio Solutions alum, shares what he’s learned as a small business owner since leaving the industry:

How the Financial Advisor / Home Builder prospects are similar
How you think about your business (as a small business) can change how you market
What can make your business stand out in a sea of competitors
Changes you can make right now

Halloween Election Special

Sat, 31 Oct 2020 14:37:00 GMT

We speak with advisors every day, and much like the conversations they have with their clients, elections and presidential events always work their way into the discussion.

In this special episode of the Conquer Risk podcast, we discuss the top word that comes to mind: worry. This is not a political show, we’re here to discuss if these events really effect the market:

Presidential Elections
Congressional Elections
US and World events
Other factors

Mobile Assistant (Human) Technology

Wed, 28 Oct 2020 15:13:25 GMT

From time-to-time we like to highlight resources that we believe may truly be of value to financial advisors. We’ve all used transcription services before, and most of them are garbage. Our guest today, Corey Westphal of Mobile Assistant, claims to not only have a solution for this, but several others for advisors:

What is Mobile Assistant?
How are they improving workflows for Advisors?
Where do they help Advisors in the evolving regulatory landscape?
How do they handle data security?

How to Select Indicators

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 15:27:39 GMT

Who Uses an OCIO?

Tue, 29 Sep 2020 15:37:57 GMT

TAMP vs. Model Marketplace

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 15:41:37 GMT

There is often confusion with advisors, and in the wider industry, about the value of a TAMP vs a Model Marketplace. This is especially relevant with the push by regulators, broker/dealers, etc. to move toward advisory, but away from the advisor-driven portfolio concept. We break it down:

Pros/Cons of a TAMP
Pros/Cons of a Model Marketplace

How to Find a Manager

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 15:07:31 GMT

Last December we did a podcast titled, “Firm CPR: How to Find a Good Manager.” In retrospect, that episode was really about (and now renamed) “How to Evaluate a Manager” as we began from the perspective of having already found one.

As we continue to work with independent advisors this year, we’ve found something interesting: advisors don’t really have a great way to even begin a search for good manager.

In what amounts to our first prequel episode, we discuss:

Where does one search?
Do custodians offer a solution?
Advisor networking
Software solutions

How to Evaluate a Manager

Tue, 17 Dec 2019 18:06:25 GMT

This podcast was orginially titled, “Firm CPR: How to Find a Good Manager.” However, this discussion assumed advisors had found the manager to begin with. Turns out, that’s not as easy as it sounds. We tackle that topic in S3E9, “How to Find a Manager” which serves as a prequel to this.

Our season one finale features a recurring conversation we’ve been having recently with Advisors, how to construct a portfolio of managers. We discuss:

Meeting expectations
Firm structure
Communication
Program design
Returns

Will the Platform Rule the Investing Future? (Ep 1)

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 15:42:22 GMT

Welcome to the inaugural Conquer Risk podcast! This has been many months in the making as we continue our quest to distribute as much useful content as possible. Voice is the future and the future is voice!

The podcast will be with Manish Khatta and Jeff Goodnow, with the occasional industry guest. We want to discuss all topics around investment management and the business of running an RIA firm.

Many folks think long and hard to figure out what kind of content to release but we feel that the best content is just a matter of documenting your business journey. We will discuss everyday tasks like researching new technology, investment strategy R&D and the occasional rant. There is value in talking about the day to day tribulations of the fellow financial advisor.

If you have any ideas, comments or suggestions please fire them our way. However, if you know either Manish or Jeff there won’t be a lack of things to “talk” about.

During this episode we discuss:

· Our recent attendance at the Envestnet Summit in Austin, TX including our take on the current state of the UMA platform.

· Our recent blog post on the usefulness of the 200 day moving average.

· Random useless information.

We hope you enjoy and follow us on this journey!
