MMM #40: Building an Investment Policy Statement

Do you have an investment policy statement? Well, even if you do, you’re probably gonna have to learn how to do it right. Keep on reading so you can figure out how to successfully create your investment policy statement!

What You’ll Learn:

In this episode of Money Meets Medicine, “Building an Investment Policy Statement,” you’re going to learn:

  • Why most people have this stuff all wrong.
  • All of the important things you need to close in your statement.
  • How to prepare for a volatile market.
  • How the 80-20 strategy works and how it can change for your needs.
  • And more!

Quotes to Remember: 

“By having it on two separate documents, as you build out your financial plan inside your investments piece, you’re going to link to your investor policy statement.”

“Your investment policy statement is a full different document that breaks down really your investment philosophies, when you’re going to rebalance your asset allocations, all of that stuff. And that stuff does not change very frequently, if at all…”

“So you’re building inside not only your investment philosophies and how you’re going to do certain pieces of your investments, but also if you were to make changes, how would you approach those? And then here, I’d also detail out, understand markets are going to move, they’re going to be volatile, things are crazy in 2020.”

Show Me the Money (In the Financial Industry)

Show Me the Money (In the Financial Industry)

The personal finance industry is meant to help you manage your assets, but particularly for doctors, many questions remain around what that kind of support actually means.

Does your financial advisor have your best interest at heart? Do you know how they get paid? Are they transparent in their disclosures about how their company actually works? Where are the conflicts of interest?

Because you can rest assured there are conflicts of interest. It’s just a matter of how they show up. And once you can say “Show me the money” and find them, that’s when you can make intentional, informed decisions regarding your personal finance.
In tackling this topic, we wanted to acknowledge the two main reasons you may be considering your options for charitable giving, especially as a high-earning physician.

One is that you may have religious convictions that make you feel more inclined to give. Even if you don’t hold to the same belief system that we do – specifically around tithing and the historical background of that concept – giving to your community is very valuable. Not just for the recipient, but for you, the giver.

This leads us into reason two, which is that giving money (or other valuable resources) and helping others has been shown to increase long-term satisfaction and fulfillment in your life.

There’s also a practical side of financial charitable giving to consider, which are the tax advantages you can use to create the most bang for your buck – literally.

Charitable Giving for Physicians

Charitable Giving for Physicians

Does tithing or charitable giving play a part in your personal finances? Should it? As usual, we’re not shying away from taking a deep dive into a very personal topic. Personal finance is personal, maybe never more so than when it comes to deciding how you want to give back.

Making the Most of Your Paycheck

Making the Most of Your Paycheck

You’ve done it – your training is complete and now you’re finally getting a paycheck fit for an attending physician. You think, “I’ve arrived! I’m going to start making so much more money.”

Famous last words. If you’re not prepared, that is.

Seemingly unassuming, everyday expenses still have the potential to wreck your new paycheck and your budget. I’ve seen it many times over the years: you try to be careful, but you (understandably) want to enjoy your hard-earned money. Costs creep up on you, things snowball. Suddenly, your post-tax paycheck is no different than it was in residency.

You thought you knew how to spend money wisely, but now you wonder, “What was the point of all my hard work to get here?”

Don’t worry. You can still enjoy the money you make while being aware of five main money traps that a high-income earner like you could be susceptible to if you’re not paying attention.
