About this episode

Bob and Brian discuss the hidden risks in perceived diversified portfolios and provide insights on investment strategies.

On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian explain why many investors who think they’re diversified may actually have far more exposure to AI and semiconductor stocks than they realize, how concentration risk has shown up throughout market history, and what wealthy investors can do to protect against it. They also break down the recent pullback in private credit funds, the dangers of relying on active managers to pick the next market winners, why your portfolio’s purpose matters more than its returns, and answer listener questions on direct indexing, family business inheritance planning, Roth conversions, and the new Trump Accounts for children.
