Fisher Investments: My Take (2019)
our friends were gonna do a review of,Fisher Investments with my man Kane,Fisher,yes very familiar with Fisher,Investments all over the Internet man,you cant step anywhere without seeing,kena Fisher is nuts in Gmail and your,Google if you if you have a gmail,account hell be advertised everywhere,hes on the TV I just saw him the other,day and I dont even watching TV and he,was on there nuts its crazy so Ken,Fisher Fisher Investments lets talk,about them I just did anything on,element financial I just did a thing on,man with eleven twelve different,financial advisory firms through Napa,and lets see if Fisher does anything,differently now Ken Fisher you know him,as I hate annuities guy I mean hes a,marketing genius look Im a fan of Ken,hes a capitalist the way its supposed,to be free-market capitalism not a,corporatist is a capitalist and I like,that he doesnt apologize for capitalism,and III think its wonderful business,owners wealthy business owners would not,apologize for capitalism because,capitalism is a wonderful wonderful,economic system has risen so many people,out of poverty of depth nepotism,mercantilism never my socialism in,heaven forbid communism capitalism was,wonderful in Fisher and Ken does not,apologize for that now with that said he,does have a firm imagines money he makes,a lot of money managing money the,question is has he made people money for,the fees he charges and and I you know I,frankly just dont know I dont know the,answer but I remember coming across Ken,probably in the late eighties man on I,didnt know Im sure in the early,nineties I think I got my first,subscription Forbes 92 93 something like,that and I started reading Ken but I,remember watching what my dad Blue Route,guys are in Wall Street week I could,have sworn Ken fish was on there and I,just remember uh maybe not I think,anyway either either late eighties early,nineties I know for a fact that early,nineties Ive always been a fan of his,in terms of his writing his investment,ideas and stuff,Fisher Investments I dont know anyone,who works there I do have a couple,clients that had accounts with or had,with Fisher none of them were upset by,Fisher Investments I mean some were they,thought the fees a little bit too high,but none were,like it was a bait switch they got sold,a bill of goods they were all happy with,a client service all happy with the,level of just theyre reaching out their,guys at Fisher Investments reaching out,for sure all were pleased its just a,matter of the the performance thats the,thing when youre when youre selling,performance youre renting money and if,the performance dies off for a reason,and people are still paying you a fee,those people are gonna say wait why am I,paying you fee this performance hasnt,been what I expected and that you dont,like be involved in that if youre an,advisor you dont want rent money you,want to tell people on the front end,youre gonna pay this fee and this is,what youre getting for it through thick,and thin and let the client assign on,the front end because youre renting,money the money will leave you the,minute the performance underwhelmed so,Ive had a number of people in this one,guy Ive met out of I think Ohio,California and he had a not a huge,portfolio for for the you know the,people can fish and the Fisher,Investments win with its probably 750,and he was happy with that Fisher,Investments I mean he said they call him,up they invite him a seminar all kind of,stuff and again he was relatively small,fish and they can fish up on so so,thats good you know Kent Fishers,aminos market so he says I hate,annuities he knows hes gonna get arrows,from all kinds of nudie guys and and he,does it and he says look I dont hate,Spears which are income annuities,I just hate variable annuities because,no one can follow them the fees are too,high man I completely grew that 100%,100% agree in that regard but you know,at the end day you cant say I hate,annuities except for this out in the,other that no one you got to do it quick,you got you got a make wool what is he,talking about and so hes he does that,but if you listen to him he does not say,he hates annuities you know just,everything he just cant stand in,community ID no he cant stay in,variable annuities all right now fish,are though theyre investment firm first,and foremost just gotta be advised they,are an investment firm they will run,your money with investment counselor so,who those investment counselors like any,big firm theyre gonna pick one for you,you cant choose them in fact I bet we,can find who their investment counselors,are here I bet theyre just uh lets see,about us see if we can see like choose,who you want to work with I bet not,locations,lets see if we can see yeah well lets,just look at this one it will say,Woodside California whos a guy and the,lady that works there and they dont say,it so its kind of like the Edelman you,dont know who give me work with and,its a dont like that so much but you,know I I dont know why they cant say,heres Joe heres Jane heres Bob her,sue I dont I dont know why I cant do,that but you know these big firms,Vanguard you know whos gonna be,fidelity you dont know who its gonna,be,maybe I dont think you do Edelman you,dont what not hell you uh say you,dont um one thing I dont like about,for now this is something I want to warn,you of any time you see careers front,and center just thats not going to be a,lower its gonna be a huge firm theyre,looking for financial advisors they can,bring on board in order to grow the firm,so the the principals can get more money,it look theres nothing wrong with that,but if youre looking at one-on-one,level advice with someone whose heart,and soul was into the firm youre not,gonna get it at a place like Fisher or,ahead woman these are just people with a,job their financial advisors look I got,no problems I know tons my was one but,thats their job their job is to do,financial planning for eight hours a day,and then leave its not their bread and,butter its not their baby and so what,happens there is they have a career,saying and all these firms will have,that theyre just trying to bring on new,advisors new advisors means new,opportunity to get new clients new,clients and new fees those advisers,leave because they find a better gig at,fidelity or Charles Schwab Fisher and,Schwab well they still retain the,clients and so Im just telling you,right now if you want more of a,one-on-one personal relationship with,someone you can sit across a node s,problem if they have a careers on front,and center on the front page of the,website,stay away Im just telling if its a,registered investment advisor and a Jane,has started and built it from scratch,she will not have a thing that says,careers in there on the front end she,just wont her bread and butter isnt,funny at her RI a registered investment,advisory firm that has her thats her,son and just like a mama bear shes,gonna protect that son like you cannot,believe,and so because that shes just not,trying to get all kinds of people in to,work at her firm she thats not what she,wants to do now what she needs somebody,shell make a heavy effort to recruit,that person but shes not gonna put a,careers thing on there this is just hate,to see multi-level marketing horizontal,level marketing I guess were saying,were up here were trying to make it,wider the horizontal markings that way,more people out there selling our,services that means more clients come in,and pay a fee and more heads up here,nothing wrong with a Im just tying if,it says careers youre not going to get,the level of commitment to your,individual situation as you will if its,someones own firm thats for sure now,obviously there are exceptions every,rule all right so lets see why Fisher,who we are your investment team okay so,we know Kent Fisher transparent fee so,lets click on this Im hoping that the,fees will be stated because theyre,supposedly transparent okay say best,rehab Fisher Investments weve been,feeling th
Ken Fisher Debunks: One Big Bear and Youre Done
a lot of people say boy oh boy if its a,bear market its got to get a lot lower,and oh by the way a bear market can,destroy my entire retirement,well thats actually pretty ridiculous,if you stop and think about it,[Music],on june 13th,we officially entered a bear market by,closing,below 20 off the highs in january,in that,a lot of people say boy oh boy if its a,bear market its got to get a lot lower,and oh by the way a bear market can,destroy my entire retirement,well thats actually pretty ridiculous,if you stop and think about it,you,agreed cannot control stocks,you cannot control where they go,you can control yourself,and yourself,is about all you can control,in that,the long-term history of the stock,market includes all bear markets ever,there have been a few very long ones,but only a few,ever,mostly,compared to your retirement,theyre not very long,a year to two at the most,some of them shorter,yes some of them longer but even there,as long as you,control yourself,your expenses and your propensity to,want to sell out at the bottom theres,no irreparable harm,its the feature that people dont think,through,which is that the volatility of stocks,which includes the negative volatility,that they dislike coupled with the,positive volatility,that comes on the other side,of a decline of a big decline,that volatility is exactly,central,in economic theory to why stocks have,that long-term superior return,the,fact is,we have a very long history of stocks we,have a very long history,and in that,there has always been this notion that,one big bear and,im done,and its never been true,never,and its paralleled to another thought,that i wrote about in my book debunkery,where this was the eighth debunk that i,did,and i actually,brought the book with me to,show you some of it,but in this one,a central argument has always been that,tied to this feature that feature the,other feature,is not going to be the way in the future,that its been in the past capitalism,will not be able to overcome the,problems that weve had,it could be because of socio-political,or other features,but in reality that view is not new and,in reality that view has always been,wrong,and well be wrong now the power of,capitalism to create new better improved,and to maneuver around the problems that,we have with a little bit of time,is simply awe-inspiring in terms of the,material well-being of human beings,is,the most blessed thing thats ever,occurred to humans,so i want to read to you briefly,remember the future includes,as of yet unimagined earnings from,currently unfathomed products and,services born of boundless human,ingenuity innovation,and desires,from years to come,not yet conceived,always been that way forever people have,been moaning about stocks being too high,and capitalism done,fine but every single time theyve been,proven wrong,if youre betting with long-term capital,i suggest you bet on the side of it and,not betting against it,if any different this time despite it,always feeling different and the media,always giving you countless reasons for,why it is now and will be different,it isnt,just think in,the last 20 years,how many things you see and have that,did not exist before,whether its,delivery systems to your house with food,whether its zoom meetings that you had,during covid whether its whats on your,smartphone,in so many ways even though you might,have had a cell phone 20 years ago,theyre pretty primitive compared to,what you have today,the ability to keep coming up with new,different better,and the beneficiaries of those often,being firms that had nothing to do with,their creation but their utilization of,them to do something else for,consumers,is simply awe-inspiring,often the popular conclusion is that,social and political trends will,overwhelm capitalism,that isnt a new view,now now that arguments also pretty,common right here right now in 2022. uh,theres a big portion of our investor,world that thinks that boy oh boy you,know capitalism is under assault like,its never been before and you know they,kind of miss notions of things that have,happened in our country and in other,countries uh,in,the past whether it would be in the 30s,or or,yet not always but almost always in,democratic nations globally capitalism,has ended up more powerful than,politicians social trends and temporary,political will and wins out in the end,so i just want you,this is chapter eight of my book,debunkery but i think its important to,note,that the fact is that,bear markets arent that long,the bounce back is usually not perfectly,so but relatively v-shaped compared to,the prior decline,the fact is that,the tendency is always to think its,different,but in,reality while its always a little,different its never so much different,to motivate you to a conclusion that,says one big bear and youre done it,isnt true it hasnt been true and i,absolutely believe that it will not be,true thank you for listening to me,i very much hope you enjoyed this video,as part of my series on debunking common,market myths,to watch more videos like this click the,link on the screen and make sure

retirement can be exciting,you might finally have the time and,money to travel,to pursue hobbies and to reconnect with,far-flung relatives,but lets face it for many retirement,can also mean,increased financial stress and anxiety,concerns about your health or the health,of your spouse may take up time,and energy for many money is a principal,retirement worry,you might worry that youll run out of,money or find yourself unable to afford,the retirement lifestyle that youve,hoped for,or maybe self-managing your retirement,portfolio has become too stressful today,many can expect a retirement of 30 years,or more,and if youre hoping to leave money to a,spouse air,or charitable cause youll need your,money to work for,even longer needless to say,the stakes are high at fisher,investments,weve helped thousands of individuals,and families plan their financial future,so that they can enjoy a comfortable,retirement with,minimal worries we cant prevent you,from worrying about your garden,or your golf shot but we can help you to,plan your financial future,in our experience we have seen some,common mistakes that can trip up,investors in this video we share,seven common retirement investing,mistakes,these arent meant to scare you or give,you the sense that peril is lurking,around,every corner rather were sharing these,so that you can potentially learn from,them,and feel more confident making investing,decisions,diversifying your investments across,countries,sectors and individual securities is a,tried and true strategy,for mitigating risk when it comes to,investing,it makes sense not to put all of your,eggs in one basket,over the years we have seen several ways,investors misinterpret this advice,often resulting in overly concentrated,or an inefficient portfolio,some investors concentrate too much of,their portfolio in a single investment,and possibly take on more risk than is,prudent investors may end up doing this,when,optimism or overconfidence makes this,action,seem safe for example,you may hold a significant portion of,your portfolio in your companys shares,perhaps because the company has done,well for years,or because you have a good feeling about,future prospects,calculations like these may be based,more on emotion,than on economic fundamentals but,if that seemingly stable security,becomes volatile,or loses significant value your,retirement could be in jeopardy,alternately some investors attempt to,diversify,by investing in five six or more funds,presuming that they will increase,diversification,however depending on the underlying,holdings in those funds,this could leave you over diversified,if each of your funds holds hundreds of,different securities,you could potentially have exposure to,thousands,of individual securities exposure to so,many stocks,can make even matching the performance,of the overall market difficult,once fund fees are taken into account,alternately you might end up owning the,same securities many times over,leaving you too concentrated in certain,companies,for example two fidelity mutual funds,large cap value and large cap growth,enhanced,contains 64 of the same holdings,38 percent of the large cap growth,enhancement funds holdings,are also held by the large cap value,funds,if you hold these two funds in an,attempt to diversify your portfolio and,manage risk,you may be actually creating a more,concentrated portfolio,that is less diversified than youd,hoped,[Music],trying to time the market is almost,impossible and mistakes can be very,costly,corrections or sentiment driven market,drops of about 10 to 20 percent,can come without warning and the,recovery that follows,can be just as fast bear markets are,fundamentally driven market declines,of 20 percent or more for an extended,period,that often come on slowly and without,announcing themselves,importantly bear markets are based on,fundamentals,corrections are sentiment based and can,change,rapidly thats why it is so hard even,for investment professionals,to time the market for a long-term,equity investor we believe its prudent,to stay invested,unless you have strong reasons to,believe the market is in the early,stages of a prolonged downturn,with most of the losses still ahead,and your reasons must be unclouded by,emotion,or other biases consistently identifying,a bear market early on,let alone predicting one before it,starts is extremely difficult,to fully benefit from stocks superior,long-term average returns,you need to stay invested further trying,to sidestep,short-term bouts of negative volatility,can have significant consequences,if youre wrong and in truth,its probably more a matter of when,youre wrong,than if we know no ones smart enough,and savvy enough,to time all market moves being out of,the market can mean missing important,updates,which can add up to huge opportunity,costs over time,the s p 500 index has grown,2 754,cumulatively from january 1988,through the beginning of november 2020.,but,if you missed just the 10 best days in,the market over that period,then your cumulative return would drop,to 1208 percent,and your annualized return would drop,from,10.7 percent to 8.1 percent,even seemingly small differences in your,annualized return,can have a tremendous impact over years,of investing,this exhibit shows how a 500 000 initial,investment,in 1988 would have grown depending on,whether you remained fully invested,or missed some of the best up days just,missing the 10 best updates,would reduce the final value of your,portfolio,by more than half,many retirees believe that they need to,take a cautious,low volatility approach to investing,they may want to create predictable,income streams or to protect their,principal,and their peace of mind some stable,low returning investments may be right,to include in your portfolio,depending on your investing goals and,personal situation,but if you need long-term portfolio,growth to reach your investing goals,investing too cautiously could increase,the risk you run out of money in,retirement,or fall short of other investing goals,trading the stress of the stock market,for the lower,but more predictable returns of bonds,may seem like an acceptable trade-off,but even seemingly small differences in,your average annual returns,become very significant over time,say you have a 500 000 portfolio,for simplicity lets assume that if you,invested it in bonds,your average annual return would be five,percent,well if you invested in stocks your,average annual return,would be nine percent these two rates of,return,would lead to dramatically different,investing results over,10 20 or 30 years,often investors focus on one risk,the risk of volatility while ignoring,other investment risks,its common to focus on what is right in,front of us,and we tend to feel the pain of losses,very sharply,myopic loss aversion an important,insight of behavioral finance,explains the common tendency for,investors to focus,on short-term losses because we tend to,feel,much more pain from losses than we take,pleasure,in games this can cause investors,to go to great lengths to avoid losses,even if it means giving up future gains,investing carries an inherent risk,return trade-off,to earn higher long-term returns you may,have to endure market volatility,and accept more short-term risk however,whether this is appropriate for you,depends on your personal situation,goals and other factors,its easy to forget about inflation but,doing so,can be costly recently inflation in the,u.s has been quite low,averaging only about 3 percent per year,but even at this relatively low rate,inflation can have an insidious effect,over a long retirement,you can think of inflation as an,unavoidable cost,eating into your purchasing power each,and every year,inflation means the expenses you have,today,will likely cost more in the future,typically inflation is measured by,evaluating the cost of many consumer,goods and services,food cars gas education,housing health care and seeing how the,overall prices change,over

Ken Fisher is one of the most successful investors of the last decades. ,He has a net worth of over 6 billion dollars – making him one of the richest people globally. ,He’s the founder of Fisher Investments – an investment company with over 180 ,billion dollars in assets under management.

So let’s see what Ken Fisher’s portfolio is about. ,I actually got this data from hedgefollow.com – I will leave a link to it in the description below. ,The largest investment of Ken Fisher’s portfolio is Apple – making up 5.4% of the total portfolio. ,Apple is one of the largest consumer electronics companies globally. ,They sell a variety of products like the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple watch, AirPods and more. ,On top of that, Apple is also big on services like Apple Music, iCloud, Apple Card and Apple Pay. ,Last year, Apple made over 270 billion dollars in revenues. ,45% of those revenues were generated in North and South America, 25% in Europe, 15% in China and a ,total of 15% in the rest of Asia and Pacific. The iPhone is Apple’s most valuable product. ,Since 2008, it has been the company’s main source of revenue. ,And although Apple has diversified its product line with the iPad, Apple watch, ,AirPods and services, the iPhone is still responsible for 50% of Apple’s revenue. ,Apple makes another 10% of their revenues from the iPad, 10% from the Mac, ,5% from other Hardware like the Apple watch or AirPods and 20% from services. ,Apple is currently the most valuable company in the world ,with a market cap of 2.5 trillion dollars. The company currently has a PE ratio of 28 ,and a dividend yield of 0.5%. Apple is a tech giant, ,an absolute cash machine with a wide moat and long-term consistent earnings growth. ,In position number 2, we have Microsoft. It makes up 4.5% of Ken Fisher’s total portfolio. ,Microsoft is the second most valuable company globally right behind Apple. ,It’s best known for its software products like the operating system Microsoft Windows, the Microsoft ,Office suite, web services like Bing, LinkedIn or MSN and hardware products like the Surface line ,or the Xbox and their cloud service Azure. Azure has become the second largest player ,in the cloud infrastructure space globally right after AWS. ,Last year, Microsoft made over 143 billion dollars in revenues. ,51% of those revenues were generated in the US and 49% outside the US. ,Microsoft makes 36% of their revenues from Intelligent Cloud, ,32% from More Personal Computing and 32% from Productivity and Business Processes. ,It currently has a market cap of 2.5 trillion dollars, ,a PE ratio of 37 and a dividend yield of 0.7%. After Satya Nadella took over as CEO in 2014, ,Microsoft is back on the growth path. Especially products like the Microsoft Office, ,Xbox and Azure are massive growth contributors and future-proof. ,Microsoft is a cash-flow beast and pays out relatively high dividends. ,In position number 3, we have Amazon. It makes up 3.9% of Ken Fisher’s total portfolio. ,Amazon is best known for its e-commerce business. But it also produces its own hardware ,products like Echo and Alexa devices, Fire TV or the Kindle. ,It also offers a video streaming service through Amazon Prime Video. ,On top of that, Amazon is the biggest player in cloud computing globally through its AWS arm. ,In 2017, Amazon bought Whole Foods, which increased their market share in physical retail. ,Last year, Amazon made over 386 billion dollars in revenues. ,Amazon makes 60% of their revenues from their North American business, ,27% from their International business and 13% from their AWS service. ,And although AWS only accounts for 13% of the total revenue, it accounts for over half of the ,operating income – which gives you a rough idea how profitable Amazons AWS business really is. ,It currently has a market cap of 1.8 trillion dollars, a PE ratio of 69 and no dividend yield. ,Amazon was one of the major beneficiaries of the 2020 crash. ,They could actually grow their revenues by 38% year over year. ,Their cloud service AWS is the market leader and an absolute profit machine. ,And its e-commerce business is one of the largest in the world which ,makes it incredibly hard for competitors. And on top of that, Amazon keeps finding ,new growth channels like smart homes, healthcare and many more. ,In position number 4, we have a Bond ETF, the Vanguard Intermediate-Term ,Corporate Bond ETF – ticker symbol VCIT. It makes up 3.2% of Ken Fisher’s total portfolio. ,The VCIT holds over 2,000 bonds and has a yield of 2.2%. ,The VCIT has a net asset value of 45 billion dollars which makes it ,the largest corporate bond ETF out there. It mainly invests in A and BBB-rated US corporate ,bonds with 5 – 10 years remaining until maturity. Corporate bonds are a good way to diversify your ,stock market portfolio and to get higher yields than the usual government bonds. ,If you want to know why holding government bonds could be a bad idea, then check out the link. ,In position number 5, we have Alphabet. It makes up 3.1% of Ken Fisher’s total portfolio. ,Alphabet is a holding company and was created after a restructuring of Google in 2015. ,Now, Alphabet holds Google which holds services like Google Ads, Google Cloud, YouTube, ,Android and Other Bets which is their venture arm. Last year, Alphabet made over 182 ,billion dollars in revenues. 47% of those revenues were generated ,in the US, 30% in Europe and the Middle East, 18% in Asia Pacific and 5% in Other Americans. ,Alphabet makes 93% of their revenues from Google Services such as Google ,Search and YouTube Ads, 7% from Google Cloud and less than 1% from Other Bets. ,It currently has a market cap of 1.9 trillion dollars, a PE ratio of 28 and no dividend yield. ,Digital advertising still makes up the majority of Google’s revenue. ,And that’s the companys cash cow. But the company is heavily investing into other ,areas like cloud computing and consumer hardware. And that’s where the future growth ,of the company could come from. But Google has a big competitor: Amazon! ,Amazon is getting into many fields where Google was once dominating: Voice search through Alexa, ,digital advertising through its e-commerce platform and cloud computing through AWS. ,In position number 6, we have Visa. It makes up 2.5% of Ken Fisher’s total portfolio. ,Visa is one of the largest digital payment companies globally, ,operating in more than 200 countries. In terms of payment volume, they are the number 1 ,globally ahead of Mastercard and American Express. Its core business comes from credit, debit and ,prepaid card services as well as Global ATMs. It’s not VISA itself that provides the cards, ,but actually VISA’s institutional clients. Visa makes its profits by acting as a middleman ,between financial institutions and merchants. But it’s also diversified into services such as ,data processing and analytics services. Last year, Visa made over 21 billion ,dollars in revenues. 46% of those revenues were ,generated in the US and 54% outside the US. Visa makes 34% of their revenues from their ,Service segment, 39% from Data Processing, 22% from International ,Transactions and 5% from Others. It currently has a market cap of ,430 billion dollars, a PE ratio of 35 and a dividend yield of 0.8%. ,VISA is the largest digital payment company and offers a great dividend yield. ,But the payment industry is changing quic

Ken Fisher Clients Yank More Than $2B After Lewd Comments
for decades billionaire Ken Fisher,branded himself a gifted stock picker,and it worked,investors happily paid hefty fees to get,into his funds but a string of vulgar,comments changed everything and Fishers,Empire has now taken a few hits its a,cautionary tale of one active manager in,this day of cheap passive funds,Bloomberg News reporter Sabrina Wilmer,joins me now with more and Sabrina you,wrote this incredible report detailing,the hardball sales culture of Fisher,Investments which is a real contrast to,the soft sell focused ETF issuing,registered investment advisors that we,typically have on the show take us,inside Ken Fishers Empire which to be,honest reminds me of like the boiler,rooms of the 80s and 90s thats right I,mean they hire a lot of kids right out,of college and they basically go on the,phone they sift through this database of,people throughout the country that have,clicked on these ads and filled out,information and they have to call,hundreds of people a day and swert,through a bunch of unqualified people,sometimes theyre calling the same,person multiple times because once you,fill out information youre kind of,stuck in that database forever,so it is its an intense culture and,there is a specific time that they have,to get in and leave very very structured,approach okay so its definitely you,paint this incredible picture here most,registered investment advisors that,preach low-cost typically invest in,index funds or ETFs are charged what,five to ten basis points Fisher does it,differently can you give us a sense of,how much he charged yeah he charges for,private clients one to one point five,percent at the most Wow,thats even more than an active equity,mutual fund so it sounds like he was,essentially a stock picker or like you,said an active mutual fund manager what,does his performance look like its a,little mixed they gave me some,performance numbers and some years are,better than others and they used the MCI,at Global index as their benchmark okay,and theyve over the past three to five,year time frame theyve beaten that,slightly but if you look at a ten-year,time frame theyve missed their own,benchmark and even since the financial,crisis in the bull market they most of,the years theyve witnessed that,particular benchmark and its even worse,compared to the S&P 500 interesting now,Fischer has been getting hit on the PR,side certainly from the comments that he,made at a conference but also on his,client base whos pulling money out how,much have they pulled out so far whats,been reported has been more than two,billion and really large well-known,investors have pulled out fidelity,pulled out five hundred million new,hampshire pulled out yesterday mm-hmm,were keeping our eyes on some other big,institutions like goldman sachs and,state of georgia which has a more than,two billion dollar investment and Fisher,okay so well youll be reporting that if,and when that happens what strikes me is,when you first started reporting this,Fisher story and you talked about his,sexist sexual comments the graphic,comments that he made he seemed kind of,surprised that there was so much fallout,from it like he said that this is stuff,he says all the time is it starting to,sink in that its different now I think,its starting to sink and the more,clients are pulling money he I did catch,him on the phone right after some of,those news stories came out and those,were his comments a lot of what he said,was true but people werent getting his,point mm-hm and that he said just a lot,of times in the past and he just didnt,understand why people were reacting in,that way well maybe because times have,changed being the first reason why lets,just connect everything back to ETF IQ,for a moment here because many people,probably dont realize that Fisher has a,line of et NS exchange-traded notes that,are actually pretty big four of the five,biggest on the market and by the way the,FI in those names actually stand for,Fisher Investments not fixed income tell,us a little bit more about these ETS,well what Fisher said why they use them,is to help ease create liquidity for,clients so they can move in and out of,there you know,accounts pretty easily okay so thats,the main reason are saying they use them
