I agree with FA1. Definitely a risk of self dealing accusations and I could see your BD coming down extremely hard on you. The liability you'll create for them, even if you don't work as an FA for any of the pensioners, is gigantic (basically unlimited). All it takes is one person questioning your perspective to cause catastrophe of gigantic LOC accusations.

What do you mean ^ ?

If anything goes wrong (including unavoidable systemic risk) and someone files a complaint, it's a PITA for everyone. Lost Opportunity Cost accusations for the fund doing X instead of Y and the compounding effects thereafter.

On this same note...what about the 457 plans for Police/Firemen? Have any of you been advisor on those plans (similar to 401k)? I was actually thinking of doing this.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
