ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:
Goal Based Investing – Planning for Key
Life Events
There is a redundancy in the title for this episode, for one should invest only with one
or more goals in mind. This goes along with being the ally of the future version of you –
someone you like and hope to admire. This webinar identifies key events and discusses
approaches to husbanding our investment dollars.

ABOUT THIS SERIES:
Personal Finance & Investing Fundamentals 1.0
This webinar series is intended for the investor who wants to reduce “unknown unknowns” of
investing.
First, a refresher on asset allocation and portfolio theory, i.e., how to array your investments to
produce reliable returns over time and temper potential losses. Then two episodes on the “why?” of
investing – the goals one pursues, such as financing family events, retirement, and the fate of your
assets when you meet your Maker or Makers or fade to black or whatever. Tax and legal and
investment professionals have their uses, but you get more from them when you know what
questions to ask and what information to insist on receiving. The final two episodes turn topical,
taking up special topics, including options and private securities (as well as public securities).

INVESTING VS. GOALS-BASED INVESTING
⚫ Is money a tool to improve life?
⚫ Or is life a tool to make money?

INVESTING VS. GOALS-BASED INVESTING (cont'd)
Those questions are important because:
⚫ There is a balance to be struck somewhere between work and life;
⚫ As wealth grows, the marginal utility of additional wealth tends to fall for most
of us;
⚫ Future market returns are not knowable and not within your control;
⚫ Higher returns typically come at greater risk

GOAL-BASED INVESTOR QUESTIONS
⚫ What’s important to me?
⚫ What will it cost and when?
⚫ How do I maximize the likelihood that I’ll have the money I need
for the things I care about?

MEETING LIFE GOALS – NOT RETURN NUMBERS
Higher “potential” or “expected” returns are great, but:
⚫ “Expected” returns are not the returns you will “probably” get
⚫ They are merely the median point in a random distribution of
possible return scenarios
⚫ Actual returns could be much better or much worse
17. Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™

THE IMPORTANCE OF RISK
⚫ Future returns are highly uncertain in investing
⚫ Keeping the capital you start with is uncertain when investing
⚫ Higher “expected” returns tend to require taking more risk
⚫ The cost of higher “expected” returns often exceeds the risk of not
meeting goals at all
⚫ “Goals-Based” investing elevates certainty in meeting goals over
higher returns
