“The 60/40 portfolio strategy saw its worst performance in the first half of 2022 than at any point in decades, but a senior Morgan Stanley strategist says it’s due for a comeback — and soon, according to news reports.
“The Bloomberg index that tracks a portfolio with 60% in stocks and 40% in bonds plunged 17% in the first half of this year, the worst drop since 1988, Bloomberg writes. That’s due to equities entering a bear market just as rising inflation and the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates caused volatility in bond prices too, according to the news service. [Wow, who knew?]
“But Andrew Sheets, Morgan Stanley’s chief cross-asset strategist, believes the classic strategy is merely “resting” and is far from broken despite tighter Fed policy.”
And, this is my favorite part of the article…
“Sheets admitted that previous market tumbles ‘left investors wishing they had held more fixed income, this year has left investors wishing they didn’t own anything.’” [Hindsight is wonderful.]

OVERCONFIDENCE
A recent paper, “Confidence Without Competence: Online Financial Search and Consumer Financial Decision-Making” by Professors Ward, Grillo, and Fernbach, warns that relying on the Internet for information may shape decision-making in consequential domains by elevating confidence without necessarily improving competence… Using Google to access financial information elevates financial confidence and increases financial risk-taking, even when it does not improve relevant financial knowledge or performance.
In layman’s terms, a fool and their money are easily parted.

WHO KNEW?
Out of all the olives harvested in the world, 90% of them are destined for oil production (per Olive Oil Times). It takes about 11 pounds of olives to extract only one quart of extra virgin olive oil, according to D’Olivo. That means it takes about 5,200 to 8,000 olives to produce just 32 ounces of olive oil (via Olive Emotion). Given that most mature olive trees produce about 33 to 44 pounds of olives annually (only enough to extract 3 to 4 quarts of virgin olive oil), it's a small output by any measure. Since extra virgin oil is only made from the first press without using heat, solvents, refining methods, or chemical processes, the yield costs more than other types of olive oil.

Gold and crypto have been called ‘inflation-proof’ investments—so far in 2022, neither seems to be a great hedge.
But like a lot of good Wall Street stories, reality is not so good.
“Bitcoin, the world’s most popular digital coin, is down nearly 71% from its all-time high of $65,000 in November, as of Sept. 23. And gold prices were also down nearly 20% as of Friday, from their recent March peak.”

More Clients Now Want To Retire Early, MMI-Aon Survey Finds
The psychological effects of the pandemic, global conflict, and economic uncertainty have wormed their way into younger clients’ attitudes toward retirement, creating a new set of challenges for advisors, according to a new survey. A survey of more than 1,500 affluent and high-net-worth investors found that 20% intended to retire earlier than they had planned prior to the pandemic, with a heavy tilt toward younger investors.
In fact, 45% of the survey participants under 35 years old, and 39% of investors from 35 to 44, have changed their minds about their retirement age specifically because of the pandemic, said 2022 Advisory Solutions: Expectations and Experiences, the first report in a three-part series conducted by the Money Management Institute (MMI) and Aon plc.
Ideally, these investors say, they will be retired at 55, or 62 at the outside.

America's $7 Trillion Retirement Crisis Is Only Getting Worse
Americans have been warned for years of an impending retirement crisis. Yet the situation is getting worse. Even when everything was going right—inflation was nonexistent, interest rates were low, and stocks were in an extended bull market—there was a multi-trillion-dollar savings shortfall.
Then came a pandemic, war in Europe, decades-high inflation, the fastest rate-hiking cycle since the early 1980s, and fears of a recession. The resulting market turmoil erased some $3.4 trillion from 401(k)s and IRAs in the first half of 2022, according to Alicia Munnell, director of Boston College’s Center for Retirement Research.
And that’s just for the people who have retirement accounts. About half of private-sector workers don’t have an employer-sponsored retirement plan, and many of those who do have one end up saving very little.
America’s $7 Trillion Retirement Crisis Is Only Getting Worse
I’m rooting for “retire early,” but I fear the reality is “it’s only getting worse.”
FULL DISCLOSURE
Any regular reader of my newsletter knows I’m passionate about the need for financial advisors to adhere to a fiduciary standard. The risk of dealing with an advisor who does not opens the client to a myriad of potential financial risks. While they might not rise to the level of fraud, the cost of a percent or so drag on returns over the long run may result in the failure of even the bestlaid plans.
It’s popular today for brokerage firms to avoid referencing “fiduciary standard” but to tout the benefits of “full disclosure,” suggesting that the client will be protected by this knowledge. Unfortunately, this is horsepucky! Here’s an example my partner Marcos sent me from J.P. Morgan. “Full disclosure” is NOT a fiduciary standard.
The biggest potential performance drain arises from the selection of proprietary investments. As an example, here’s a comparison of Morgan’s ($19.8 billion) US Equity Fund (JUEAX) and iShares S&P 500 (IVV).
Not so bad in a sheltered account but not so good in a taxable account.
I’d say VERY IMPORTANT to note!
VERY hypothetical.
Wonder what happened to the note above “in fact up to 100 percent.” Protect yourself. Ask whoever is providing you advice to sign the Fiduciary Oath. If they do not, it’s time to look elsewhere.

MOVING THE GOAL POST
One more caveat emptor … Funds Exploiting SEC 'Loophole' to Hype Products with Sub-Par Returns
“In a paper titled ‘Moving the Goalposts? Mutual Fund Benchmark Changes and Performance Manipulation,’ the University of Central Florida’s Kevin Mullally and the University of Arizona’s Andrea Rossi wrote that an analysis of more than 2,800 fund prospectuses showed some funds mislead investors by ‘freely changing their benchmark indexes and, implicitly, the historical returns to which they compare their past performance.’
“The SEC requires funds to show comparisons of their past one-, five- and 10-year returns within fund documents by comparing their strategies to at least one benchmark index of a fund manager's choosing. And by swapping benchmarks or adding new ones, funds can make uglylooking past performance tables more palatable by applying the new benchmark to past periods, the researchers write.”

REBALANCING
It works!
From a study by Michael Kitces
The chart below shows the retiree’s results if retirement begins in 1966, assuming a 4% initial withdrawal rate and distributions that are arbitrarily taken pro rata (60/30/10) from each asset class at the end of every year. The rebalanced portfolio is rebalanced back to its original 60/30/10 allocation at the start of each year.

“There are no guarantees when it comes to investing in the stock market. As much as some people would like to think so, the stock market does not work like a casino. You don’t know the exact odds before placing a bet (or trade).

THE FUTURE
APPLES AND ORANGES
I’m constantly amazed at how often the financial media misleads its readers by basing stories on misleading benchmarks. The following is a good example.
Why Cash Isn’t Trash: Here’s How Fund Managers Are Beating the Market
“Actively-managed mutual funds are having their best year since 2009, according to an analysis from Goldman Sachs, which found many active funds decisively beating their benchmarks and, in many cases, the overall market. … “Compare these three very big value funds to the overall market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index:
• S&P 500 Index (SPX): -16.77%
• Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund (FLPSX): -10.75%
• JPMorgan Equity Income Fund Class I (HLIEX) : -6.79%
• American Funds American Mutual Fund Class F-3 (AFMFX): -5.58%”
It’s a bit confusing when the story says “found many active funds decisively beating their benchmarks and, in many cases, the overall market,” and uses the S&P 500 as its benchmark. So, when I read this story on 9/28, I looked at these funds’ performance compared to ETFs that invested in a similar universe (i.e. appropriate benchmarks). Here’s what I found for performance from 12/31 to 9/27.
While HLIEX and AFMFX indeed did a tad better (i.e., they lost less) than appropriate investable alternatives (FLPSX didn’t), the difference was nowhere near the difference in comparison to the inappropriate S&P 500 benchmark used in the story. The moral: Beware of misleading comparisons, especially ones that are based on absurdly short time horizons.

How to Create an Interest-Only Retirement Plan
“An interest-only retirement plan aims to create a long-term investment portfolio that enables savers to live off the interest generated by their investments and leave the portfolio principal intact. Once the portfolio owner retires, the retiree should be able to live off the interest gained on the investments without having to touch the portfolio principal.”
To address all of the issues with the silliness of this story would take many pages so I’ll just highlight a few items from it:
“You will need a large retirement portfolio to be able to cover your expenses with the generated interest.” No kidding. In fact, if it’s large enough you can simply keep your money in your mattress.
“As a result, setting up an interest-only retirement plan requires significant planning, as there are numerous factors that can prevent the plan from being successful, including declining interest rates, inflation and unexpected expenses.” Good news! The only problems might be “declining interest rates, inflation and unexpected expenses.”
“Laddering U.S. Treasuries can help you lock in rates of around 3% right now with a high level of safety, since the investor receives the principal back at maturity.” Of course, taxes won’t be a problem.
“An interest-rate only retirement plan is feasible, but it also has some drawbacks. ‘If you’re aware of all the nuances of an interest-only retirement planning strategy and you remain flexible, that strategy can work.’”
Just a FEW MINOR nuances—tons of money, declining interest rates, inflation, unexpected expenses and taxes.
THE SECRET TO SUCCESS
Don’t pick the wrong fund.
“Over the past five years through 2021, the Top 50 hedge funds collectively generated net annualized returns that trailed a red-hot S&P 500 by just several percentage points, but did so with significantly less risk…
“The 2021 performance hurdle had a substantial impact on this year’s list, eliminating several highly ranked funds that had perennially made the survey.” Two-thirds of the funds on this year’s list also made the 2021 survey. Of course, that means 1/3 didn’t… “The top-performing fund in the last two surveys[] was up only several percentage points last year and failed to make the cut. Through the first half of 2022, the fund was down 65 percent.”

We investigate the portfolio performance of retail investors who combine stocks and passive exchange traded funds (P-ETFs) by relying on both proprietary trading records and survey data… The risk-adjusted performance remains negative for all retail investors, irrespective of their exposure to P-ETFs. Nevertheless, retail investors who hold P-ETFs generate higher riskadjusted returns than those who trade individual stocks only.

“Cathie Wood’s fans turned tail last month, pulling out the most money from her flagship fund in nearly a year as it continues to flounder.
“The $8 billion Ark Innovation ETF (ticker ARKK) saw $803 million rush out in August, the biggest monthly outflow since last September, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The exchangetraded fund saw daily inflows in only six days last month.
“The surge of outflows underscores a stark shift of sentiment, after money flowed in for much of this year even as the innovation-themed fund plummeted. Investor loyalty may now be reaching a limit, with the ETF down 60% this year, compared with the S&P 500 Index’s 18% drop, and prospects dim for a revival anytime soon.” [As of 9/27 -60.9% YTD and -67.1% 1-year.]

DEPRESSING
I guess it’s naive of me to expect intelligent advice from institutional investment professionals.
The following are comments from Bank of America’s (a Merrill Lynch firm) head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategy.
“The worst thing to hold is the S&P 500 wholesale,” she tells CNBC. “Although following the benchmark index has worked well over the past decade… The S&P 500 right now is expensive— it’s super crowded. It’s the most crowded ticker in the world if you think about it from an index perspective… If you've got a 10-year time horizon, hold the S&P 500 and watch and wait,” she recommends. “But if you’re thinking about what’s going to happen between now and let’s say the next 12 months, I don’t think the bottom is in.”
“Investing” for 12 months or less isn’t investing, it’s market timing.
Maybe that’s why the performance of BOA stock (BAC) looks like it does compared to the broad market.

Wall Street’s prediction on the direction of the stock market is often wrong—way wrong
This is an excerpt from an article by Mark Hulbert, a commentator I’ve quoted in the past and an acute observer of money manager performance. Mark references a study by investment consultant Mike Sebastian who compared the projected asset class returns from 17 firms in 2012 to what actually happened over the subsequent decade. As reflected in the chat below, not so good.
14 of the 15 asset class projections fell outside of the 2012 minimum-maximum projections
Mark notes: “The lesson here isn’t that you need to find a better research firm than the prominent ones in Sebastian’s sample. Those firms’ analysts are some of the best and brightest people you’ll ever find in the investment arena, sporting impeccable educational and real-world backgrounds. And yet they still sometimes get it wrong, and not just by a little.”
