KNOW THE DIFFERENCE: This caller thought he bought a mutual fund…we help him discover what he actually owns.

Part 1: A caller asks about mutual funds

A caller named Russ called in to our “MoneyTalk” show recently and wondered why mutual fund performance wasn’t strong. As the team answered his concerns, they discovered something…

Part 2: The importance of a truly independent advisor

Dave and Mark help Russ understand what he actually owns, and the options and consequences of owning that product.



Every week, Annex Wealth Management will give you one thing you should do that may improve your financial well-being. We call it the “MoneyDo List.”

This weeks’ “MoneyDo” is: Review your 401(k) contribution.

• If you have a 401(k) account, take a look at what percentage or amount you are contributing to your savings **And if you don’t have a 401(k) account and your employer offers a program, get started today. 2/3 of Americans are not invested in their company’s 401(k) or retirement plan.

• Most employers will match your contribution up to a specific percentage. Most experts suggest you take your employer up on their offer – contribute AT LEAST as much as they will.

• Most folks contribute around 7 percent to their 401(k). Most experts would recommend deferring closer to 10-12 percent starting in your 20’s, and if you haven’t been, to be saving at a higher rate.
