Alternative Investments with Larry Swedroe - WCI Podcast #456 #whitecoatinvestor

Today we’re diving into all the stuff everyone seems to be arguing about lately: AI and whether it is actually a bubble, why nobody wants small value, international, or bonds anymore, and what to say to the growing crowd of S&P-500-only investors. We also break down the world of alternative investments in a way that is simple and actually useful, from real estate and crypto to reinsurance, annuities, peer-to-peer loans, commodities, and all the messy complexity in between. And of course, we talk about your new book Enrich Your Future. It is a packed episode, so settle in and enjoy. Today’s episode is brought to us by SoFi, the folks who help you get your money right. Paying off student debt quickly and getting your finances back on track isn't easy, but that’s where SoFi can help — they have exclusive, low rates designed to help medical residents refinance student loans—and that could end up saving you thousands of dollars, helping you get out of student debt sooner. SoFi also offers the ability to lower your payments to just $100 a month* while you’re still in residency. And if you’re already out of residency, SoFi’s got you covered there too.

Like the blog, The White Coat Investor Podcast is dedicated to educating medical students, residents, physicians, dentists, and similar high-income professionals about personal finance and building wealth, so they can ultimately be their own financial advisor-or at least know enough to not get ripped off by a financial advisor.
