Investment insights on portfolio construction
Your work with your advisor should take a big-picture approach to growing your bottom line, rather than just “vanity” top-line returns.
In our final white paper in the "It's Not About What You Make, iI's What You Keep" series, we share Modernist's strategies beyond just prudent investment management.
Diversification, rebalancing, cost minimization, and values-based investing can work together to have a significant positive impact on overall returns. Check out our latest white paper to get the details!

Songs that are really about money in relationships
If you are having a hard time opening up money conversations in your relationship, take a cue from vintage Queen Bey and the rest of Destiny's Child squad. They are nothing but fearless in sharing their financial preferences in Independent Women Pt. 1:
Pay my own fun, oh, and I pay my own bills / Always fifty fifty in relationships / The shoes on my feet, I've bought it / The clothes I'm wearing, I've bought it
