June 20, 2022

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Peter Lazaroff (LinkedIn Profile).

Peter is a Chartered Financial Analyst, firm owner, author, speaker, podcast host, and chief investment officer of Plancorp, LLC, a fee-only Registered Investment Advisor in St. Louis overseeing over $6 billion of assets for clients around the country. Peter joins me on the show to talk about a variety of topics around investing that apply to an optometric practice owner. We dive into which investors are really moving the markets, the importance of diversification as a practice owner, how to take an evidentiary approach to investing, and we touch on the hot topic of inflation in today’s current market and how to think about it in relation to your portfolio.
