Kimberly Clouse, Covestor’s Chief Client Advocate and Advisory Board Chair joins Covestor Radio to discuss Mutual Funds vs. Private Money Managers.
Covestor Radio is a show about money milestones and investing for your future and brought to you by Covestor, an online marketplace for investing.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Kimberly Clouse discuss the following:
- So, for those that missed our last episode, tell us briefly what is a mutual fund?
- What is a separately managed account?
- What are key differences between retail mutual funds and separately managed accounts?
- Let’s start with Structure and Regulation.
- Talk about ownership.
- The 3rd and 4th key differences: Â Transparency and Customization.
- What about tax considerations?
Tips:
a. How you fund your account can make a difference as mutual funds generally have to be funded with cash.
b. Separately-managed accounts don’t have to report their results like mutual funds do, so if the separate account manager is reluctant to show you performance, run…and run fast.
