In this episode of FIN-LYT by EWA, Matt Blocki is joined by Jamison Smith to explore one of the most underrated yet powerful tools in financial planning: the brokerage account. Often overlooked in favor of retirement accounts and insurance-based strategies, brokerage accounts can offer unmatched flexibility, control, and tax efficiency, when structured properly.
Matt and Jamison break down how brokerage accounts serve high-income and high-net-worth individuals across every stage of life. From building wealth and navigating unexpected expenses, to maximizing charitable giving and optimizing estate transfers. They highlight strategic approaches like direct indexing, tax-loss harvesting, secured lines of credit, and tax bracket control in retirement.
This episode cuts through misconceptions and offers a clear, practical guide to unlocking the full potential of brokerage accounts. Whether you're a business owner, a charitable giver, or planning for early retirement, this conversation offers essential insights for long-term financial success.
