Index funds following S&P500.

If you want to play with something (which should be a very small % of your portfolio), I’ve been investing into marijuana, artificial meats and green energy.

I would look at Fidelity or Vanguard index funds. You don’t want to pay a front load fee (money taken out before you invest) and you also want to pay as low of management fee as you can. Also would look at investing in ways that are taxed advantages to lessen your tax burden if you aren’t already (e.g., IRA, 401k, HSA, 529, etc)

I use generic index funds. I want to have some play money, but I’m not quite there yet...

Stock picking can be risky, as can timing the market, so I just keep doing index funds since it also reduces my exposure requirements

Explore Bogleheads.com for their simple 3 fund investing strategy. US index fund, International index fund and Bonds index fund. It is up to you how you want to allocate your money across all 3 e.g. 70-20-10 or 60-20-20....
And I second D1 suggestion of using Vanguard for this strategy. John Bogle founded Vanguard after all

since savings rates are going down. Not very well-versed in what types of index funds, etc. might be good to explore. Any thoughts or tips?

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.

Interested in hearing about anyone who has added a second full time staff person. Current setup is two main advisors (have a few licensed solicitors) and one main admin. Getting to the point where she has too much on her plate. We have been bringing on paid interns to alleviate some of the stress. Thinking about adding another person but unsure that we need an additional full time staff person. Recently heard an employee per every 350-400k of GDC (advisors included) was a good guideline.
