In this episode Jason and Alex revisit the concept of stress, especially as it pertains to investing. At times like these that test our emotions, it is more important than ever to focus on the things that we can control and accept what we can. It’s also easy to get caught up in the massive amount of information that is everywhere regarding COVID – 19. We are all trying to become experts as quickly as possible, but the truth is that very few of us are qualified sources for this type of information meant to be giving advice to others. The same can be true of those who give investment advice. One of the most stressful things an investor face is being invested at times when markets are dropping. It feels like you are out of control and that you are losing hard earned and saved money. This feeling motivates some to sell out of fear. Then the fear of losing ends and a new, much scarier fear replaces the old fear. The fear of not being invested when the markets recover and skyrocket to new and higher levels than ever before. Investors know that they face this emotional test and know that being invested means a greater chance of accomplishing their financial goals. The actions that we take are ours to control as are the emotions that come along with them. Jason and Alex talk about things that you can do if you did sell and go to cash or move to all bonds when that wasn’t part of your investment strategy prior to the recent drop. They also explore the concept of using annuities and other alternative asset classes to further diversify a portfolio. Some common messages resurface in this episode. You need to have a financial plan that takes all factors into consideration. Your investment strategy should be determined by this plan and when emotions run high the best thing you can do is go back and reference your plan.

In this show you will learn about:

  • The stress associated with being invested compared with the stress of not being invested, especially during extreme market events like COVID-19
  • Things that you can do now if you did sell at, or near, the most recent market bottom
  • How to use an evidenced based investment philosophy to support adding an alternative investment to your portfolio

BEFORE INVESTING YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES. THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION IS IN THE PROSPECTUS, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM IDAONEFUND.COM OR FROM CALLING TOLL FREE 833 484 5671. PLEASE READ THE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INVEST.

IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION
The IDA Private Access Fund is a continuously-offered, non-diversified, registered closed-end fund with limited liquidity. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its objective. An investment in the Fund should only be made by investors who understand the risks involved, who are able to withstand the loss of the entire amount invested and who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of Shares. Important Risks: Shares are an illiquid investment. You should generally not expect to be able to sell your Shares (other than through the repurchase process), regardless of how the Fund performs.

Although the Fund is required to implement a Share repurchase program only a limited number of Shares will be eligible for repurchase by the Fund. An investment in the Fund is speculative, involves substantial risks, including the risk that the entire amount invested may be lost, and should not constitute a complete investment program. The Fund may leverage its investments by borrowing, use of swap agreements, options or other derivative instruments. The Fund is a non-diversified management investment company, meaning it may be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrence than a diversified investment company. In addition, the fund is subject to investment-related risks of the underlying funds, and general economic and market condition risks. Alternative investments provide limited liquidity and include, among other things, the risks inherent in investing in securities, futures, commodities and derivatives, using leverage and engaging in short sales. The Fund’s investment performance depends, at least in part, on how its assets are allocated and reallocated among asset classes and strategies. Such allocation could result in the Fund holding asset classes or investments that perform poorly or underperform.

Investments and investment transactions are subject to various counterparty risks. The counterparties to transactions in over-the-counter or "inter-dealer" markets are typically subject to lesser credit evaluation and regulatory oversight compared to members of "exchange-based" markets. This may increase the risk that a counterparty will not settle a transaction because of a credit or liquidity problem, thus causing the Fund to suffer losses. The Fund and its service providers may be prone to operational and information security risks resulting from breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption, or lose operational capacity. Minimal Capitalization Risk. The Fund is not obligated to raise any specific amount of capital prior to commencing operations. There is a risk that the amount of capital actually raised by the Fund through the offering of its shares may be insufficient to achieve profitability or allow the Fund to realize its investment objective. The Fund is a closed-end investment company with no history of operations.

The Fund’s investment adviser is Intelligence Driven Advisers, LLC, a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The Fund’s shares are offered through Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC. (The Distributor"). IDA Wealth and the Distributor are unaffiliated.
