Episode #6 - Diving a Layer Deeper into Investments

“You want all of your investments to be a part of your diversified portfolio.” - David Tuzzolino, CFA, CFP® of PathBridge Financial, LLC

In episode 6, we're taking a deeper dive into understanding investments. People talk like all investments are created equal, but that’s certainly not the case. In this episode, we dive a little deeper to help you better understand how investments are not all the same.

David Tuzzolino, CFA, CFP® from PathBridge Financial, and Kyle discuss four types of investments: Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, and ETFs. They discuss similarities, and differences between investments to cut through the confusion. A key component of the conversation is “diversification”, and they break down what that means in the investment world and why we do it. They close out the episode by discussing the pros and cons of Target Date Funds.

To kick it off, they talk about Gettysburg, ghosts, Remember the Titans, David’s bucket list trip and why outer space and scuba diving freak Kyle out. They also discuss their best ever investment picks. Tune in!

"It’s (Target Date Funds) meant for the average employee, but no one is average. Every person’s situation is unique to them. It’s a one size fits all (approach)." Kyle Hill, CFP®
