Prepare to fortify your financial know-how as Glenn Lee from WT Wealth Management joins us to dissect the complex organism that is the US banking system.

As interest rates climb, we'll help you grasp the repercussions on the investments that are the bedrock of banking stability. 

Venture further into the banking frontier as we deliberate the imminent rise of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and the seismic shifts they may trigger within the financial landscape.

The Origins of ESG 

What is PRI: 

·        Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is a set of six principles that provide guidance to investors on how to incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into their investment decisions. The PRI was founded in 2006 by a group of investors, and it now has over 4,000 signatories, which represent trillions of dollars in assets.

The Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) has played a significant factor in the development of ESG in the following ways:

·        Setting standards and guidelines: The PRI has developed a set of six principles that provide guidance to investors on how to incorporate ESG factors into their investment decisions. These principles have been widely adopted by investors and organizations around the world, and they have helped to standardize the way that ESG is measured and managed.

·        Providing resources and support: The PRI provides a variety of resources and support to its signatories, including training, research, and networking opportunities. This support has helped investors to learn more about ESG and to develop the skills they need to incorporate it into their investment decisions.

·        Advocating for ESG: The PRI advocates for responsible investment policies and practices at the international level. They work with regulators, policymakers, and other stakeholders to promote the integration of ESG factors into the financial system.

·        Measuring and reporting: The PRI has developed a set of standards for measuring and reporting ESG performance. These standards help investors to assess the ESG performance of companies and investments, and they provide a common language for communicating ESG information.

·        Building a community: The PRI has built a global community of investors who are committed to responsible investment. This community provides a forum for investors to share ideas, learn from each other, and collaborate on initiatives to promote responsible investment.

PRI 6 Principles 

• Incorporate ESG factors into investment decisions: The PRI wants investors to consider ESG factors when making investment decisions, such as the environmental impact of a company's operations or the social impact of its products and services.
• Promote transparency and accountability: The

What is ESG?

• Environmental: This includes factors such as a company's impact on the environment, its use of natural resources, and its emissions of greenhouse gases.
• Social: This includes factors such as a company's labor practices, its treatment of employees, and its impact on the community.
• Governance: This includes factors such as a company's corporate governance structure, its executive compensation, and its transparency.

How is ESG Measured?

•  Climate change: This is one of the most important ESG factors, as it has the potential to have a significant impact on businesses and the economy. Companies that are taking steps to reduce their carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change are seen as being more ESG-friendly.
• Labor practices: This includes factors such as a company's treatment of employees, its wages and benefits, and its commitment to diversity and inclusion. Companies that have strong labor practices are seen as being more ESG-friendly.
• Human rights: This includes factors such as a company's impact on human rights, its supply chain practices, and its commitment to ethical sourcing. Companies that respect human rights are seen as being more ESG-friendly.
• Governance: This includes factors such as a company's corporate governance structure, its executive compensation, and its transparency. Companies that have strong governance practices are seen as being more ESG-friendly.

The Cons of ESG 

• ESG investing can be more expensive: ESG funds often have higher fees than traditional funds. This is because they require more research and due diligence to identify and select ESG-friendly companies.
• ESG investing can be less diversified: ESG funds may be more concentrated in certain sectors or industries, which can increase risk. For example, an ESG fund that focuses on renewable energy may be more exposed to the risks of the solar or wind power industries.
• ESG investing can be subjective: There is no single definition of ESG, and different investors may have different interpretations of what it means to be environmentally and socially responsible. This can lead to confusion and inconsistency in the market.
• ESG investing can be difficult to track: ESG data is often not as standardized as traditional financial data. This can make it di

·         The use of gold has evolved over time, from its use as a currency and a symbol of wealth to its use in electronics, dentistry, and medical devices. Today, gold is still widely used in jewelry and decorative arts, as well as in investment products such as gold bars, coins, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

·         The price of gold is influenced by a variety of factors, including global economic conditions, political instability, inflation rates, and supply and demand dynamics. Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset during times of economic uncertainty or geopolitical tensions, as it is considered a store of value that can preserve wealth even during times of market volatility.

2) What influences the price of Gold? 

·         Supply and Demand: The supply and demand of gold can also be manipulated, particularly in instances where there are fluctuations in the supply or demand of gold. For example, during periods of high demand, gold producers might withhold supply to increase prices, or during periods of low demand, gold producers might flood the market with supply to lower prices.

·         Geopolitical Events: Gold prices can also be affected by geopolitical events, such as political tensions or conflicts that can impact the supply and demand of gold. For example, a disruption in gold supply due to political tensions can cause prices to increase.

3) How has Gold performed over the last 50 years?

·         Its at $2009 an ounce now. 

·         In 1970 it was $36 an ounce.

• Silver is also widely used in the production of electronics, including batteries, solar panels, and computer components. It is also used in the production of mirrors, silverware, and photographic film.

The Federal Reserve in More Detail

1.      We have covered the federal reserve in previous episodes, why are you doing another episode on it?

a.       The Federal Reserve has been more prominent in the daily lives of Americans over the past 3 years.

b.      The policies they set are impacting all Americans, so understanding its function will help us be well informed. An informed investor is usually a successful investor.

2.      What is the Federal Reserve?

a.       The Federal Reserve System, also known as the "Fed", is the central banking system of the United States. Its primary purpose is to promote a stable and healthy economy by regulating the money supply, managing interest rates, and overseeing the banking system.

b.      The Federal Reserve is composed of twelve regional banks located throughout the country, with a central Board of Governors in Washington D.C. The Board of Governors consists of seven members appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate, who serve 14-year terms.

3.      Monetary Policy, what does that mean and how does the Fed effect monetary policy?

a.      One of the primary tools used by the Fed to influence the economy is monetary policy. The Fed can adjust the money supply by buying or selling government securities in the open market, which affects the interest rates that banks charge for loans. By changing interest rates, the Fed can influence borrowing and spending by consumers and businesses, which can in turn impact economic growth and inflation.

b.      Open Market Operations: The Fed buys or sells government securities in the open market to influence the supply of money in the economy. When the Fed buys securities, it injects money into the economy, which increases the money supply and lowers interest rates. Conversely, when the Fed sells securities, it removes money from the economy, which decreases the money supply and raises interest rates.

c.       Discount Rate: The discount rate is the interest rate that banks pay to borrow money from the Fed. By raising or lowering the discount rate, the Fed can influence the cost of borrowing for banks, which can affect the amount of credit available to consumers and businesses.

The US Banking System Part 1

1.      Why are you doing an episode on the banking system?

o   With the recent failure of SVB and other banks, educating my clients and others about how our banking system works will help us be better investors.

o   The more you understand about our monetary, the more you will be able to understand what is happening with our money and why it is happening.

2.      What is the US Banking System? 

o   The banking system is a network of financial institutions that provide a variety of services to individuals and businesses. The basic function of banks is to accept deposits from customers and use those funds to make loans and investments.

3.      So the banking system takes deposits of its customers and invests it and loans it out? Can you walk us through how that is done?

·         The US banking system creates new money through the lending process in a few ways:

o   Fractional reserve banking: Banks are required to hold a fraction of their deposits as reserves, but they are allowed to lend out the rest. This means that when a bank makes a loan, it creates new money by increasing the borrower's account balance. For example, if a bank has $100 in deposits and a 10% reserve requirement, it must hold $10 in reserves and can lend out $90. If it makes a loan for $90, the borrower's account balance increases by $90, and the bank's liabilities (the borrower's deposit) also increase by $90. The bank now has $100 in deposits and $90 in loans outstanding, which means it has created $90 in new money.

o   Interest: Banks charge interest on loans, which means that borrowers must pay back more money than they borrow. This increases the money supply because the additional money paid back in interest did not exist before the loan was made.

o   Secondary market transactions: Banks can sell the loans they make to other financial institutions, such as investment banks or government-sponsored enterprises like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This can free up the bank's balance sheet to make more loans, and the purchasers of the loans can use them as collateral to borrow additional funds. This process can increase the money supply in the economy.

o   Overall, the US banking system creates new money through the lending process by expanding credit through fractional reserve banking, charging interest on loans, and facilitating

Unhealthy and healthy Expectations if you work with an Advisor Part 2 of 2

1. Lets pick up from last week and review why discussing unhealthy expectations of your advisor will help you be a happier and more successful investor.

• Unhealthy Expectation #1: My advisor or any advisor is out there to get me or to rip me off.

• Unhealthy Expectation #2: If I leave working with my advisor in a way that is rude or unprofessional, they should just deal with it. “It only business” “Don’t take it personally.”

• Unhealthy Expectation #3: I want to see results and I want them now. If in the first year, they don’t have amazing returns, I am leaving.

• Unhealthy Expectation #4: Any sort of service request should happen instantaneously and should never take more than 24 hours. 

• Unhealthy Expectation #5: Everything is bad, and the world is going to collapse

• Unhealthy Expectation #6: The grass is greener and this other advisor I have been talking to is going to solve everything and it will be perfect.

• Unhealthy Expectation #7: Why didn’t my advisor see this _______ coming? They should have sold out before the market went down.

• Unhealthy Expectation #8: Timing the market is easy, I can day trade my account and do better than my adviser.

• Unhealthy Expectation #9: Anyone can do the type of work my advisor does, its really not that hard. 

• Unhealthy Expectation #10: I expect my advisor to help me reach my goals, but I am not willing to make any changes.

Unhealthy and healthy Expectations if you work with an Advisor Part 1 of 2

1. Glenn, you have been doing this for over a decade, I am sure you have had a lot of great people you have worked with, but I would also imagine you have worked with people who are difficult or have unhealthy expectations. Why are you wanting to do this series on having reasonable expectations when working with an investment professional such as yourself?
2. So, lets talk about some of the expectations that clients have had for you that maybe weren’t reasonable and what would be reasonable?

• Unhealthy Expectation #1: I can always reach my advisor instantly at any hour of any day, and if I don’t, then the advisor isn’t providing good customer service.

• Unhealthy Expectation #2: That my advisor always knows the answer to any question and if they don’t, then they are not fit to manage my money.

• Unhealthy Expectation #3: My advisor must have a finance degree and if they don’t, they are incapable of excellence.

• Unhealthy Expectation #4: I want the very best that the industry has to offer, but I don’t want to pay full price for it. I want a discount!

• Unhealthy Expectation #5: All that matters is performance. If my advisor doesn’t beat the market every single year, I am kicking them to the curb!

• Unhealthy Expectation #6: I won’t listen to my adviser’s recommendation because I know better than them. But will still blame them when my plan doesn’t work out.

• Unhealthy Expectation #7: I don’t want to pay my advisor if they don’t make me money.

• Unhealthy Expectation #8: I expect my adviser to always deliver positive returns, period.

• Unhealthy Expectation #9: I can say whatever or treat my advisor however I want, because the customer is always right.

• Unhealthy Expectation #10: My advisor should never be out of the office, if they happen to be out on vacation when I need a question answered, than I will be upset
