When the thought of making a move “gets real,” there’s another level of duediligence that advisors should embark upon. Most advisors consider the process of duediligence to be a disruptive and cumbersome ritual of “meet and greet.” So, what’s “strategic duediligence”? So, what are you to do?
Please conduct your own duediligence and come to your own decision. This is not an endorsement of anyone mentioned here, and situations could change and not be reflected here in this blog. I want to be clear that nothing in this podcast or blog can be interpreted as an investment recommendation of any type.
I wrote a bunch of consumer advocacy blogs here to protect people from all the BS. Please conduct your own duediligence and come to your own decision. Clients are given full access to our entire offering (investments, retirement, college, insurance, tax, estate, etc.) pretty much everything, that goes into this.
While this is an important step in any duediligence process, evaluating another firm and envisioning what makes an opportunity ideal requires more than checking a series of boxes. Advisors sometimes surprise themselves with the outcome of their duediligence. Consider these 5 key areas to serve as your guide….
For founders too, when possible, many also prefer to raise from their existing investor base so as to maintain consistency and optimize for speed in duediligence and closing. Blog Updates During the quarter we featured four of our portfolio companies in the ‘ Founder Friday’ newsletter series.
So, it’s critical that the duediligence process provides the answer with clear and meaningful client benefits identified along the way. So, keeping the idea of “what’s in it for my clients” top-of-mind when performing duediligence will ensure that you really understand how a new firm could move the needle for all.
For those of you new to my blog, my name is Sara G. I periodically blog about financial products and services so that consumers can avoid being taken advantage of by the financial services industry. Please conduct your own duediligence and come to your own decision. See you in the next blog!
The problem: I didn’t have anywhere near $400,000 sitting in my checking account, and I did not want to sell a bunch of shares and trigger capital gains taxes (which in my case would be at least $60,000), just for this short term project. This avoids triggering unnecessary capital gains taxes. No delays, and no taxes.
I published what’s called a comment, so like a very short one about this great tax law case with this guy who like won the lottery and then wanted to get his lottery winnings treated as capital gains. You know, it was all this like structuring and like tax and legal and accounting stuff. Matt Levine : 00:03:44 You know, I did.
For those of you who are new to my blog, my name is Sara. Policy lapse results in phantom income tax on the entire amount of the capital gain in the policy, plus there is the disappointment of having an asset you counted on (maybe to retire) go to zero. The policy can lapse leaving the client with a phantom income tax bill.
For those of you who are new to my blog, my name is Sara. What’d ya think of my blog and podcast debate on whether or not the CFP Board stinks? Return of organization exempt from income tax [Form 990]. John Robinson (“JR”), Founder of Financial Planning Hawaii, Inc. JR will be on the “against” team. Was this helpful?
Somehow no one in duediligence ever asked them about any of this. And so that’s actually when I started blogging, I started kidding. And not being able to tell them or show them makes it harder for them to do duediligence to understand how it may have behaved. I’ve never been introduced.
RITHOLTZ: So that’s really interesting because what I wrote down was tax efficiency is one of the drivers. DAMODARAN: If I can throw this out to my class, and the first thing they come up with is it more tax-efficient to do buybacks than dividends? DAMODARAN: Capital gains then were taxed with 28 percent. DAMODARAN: Right.
