In today’s episode, Rusty and Robyn talk to Grant Engelbart, Senior Portfolio Manager at Brinker Capital.

Grant has been in the industry for more than a decade. His focus is on trading and managing assets, including ETF mutual funds and single securities. Before working as a portfolio manager, Grant was part of the trading and investment research team at Orion Advisor Solutions.

Grant talks with Rusty and Robyn about ETF investment strategies, crypto as a new alternative asset class, and the non-financial skills needed in finance.

"One of the biggest issues we have in the advisor and investor world today is income generation. With cryptocurrencies, if done the right way, you can create pretty substantial income streams and uncorrelated income streams off of these products." ~ Grant Engelbart

Main Takeaways

When choosing an ETF, the first step is to know the exposure you’ll gain from it. Other factors to consider are ETF concentration, maximum security weight, index ETF, and consistent growth.
Crypto can be a new alternative asset class. The possibilities with crypto are endless, especially with the creation of crypto ETFs and the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi).
Getting familiarized with programming languages, improving your writing, and maintaining positive client relationships are non-financial skills needed in finance.
Be disciplined and recognize the power of staying in the market long-term. Having a consistent yet adaptable process that is aligned with the client’s investment beliefs is important.
