In today’s episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Glenn Dorsey, head of client portfolio management at Clark Capital Management Group.

By the time he was 10, Glenn already had a deep fascination with the market and was trading stocks. In college, he double-majored in accounting and finance and got his CFA and CAIA designations. Glenn has been offering his expertise in portfolio management to well-known firms for more than three decades, putting Clark Capital’s client advisor service on an explosive growth trajectory.

Glenn talks with Rusty and Robyn about the impact of COVID resurgence and the effects of inflation and government debt on investment decisions.

"It’s like an analogy for turbulence. Would it be surprising if you need to put your seatbelt on for a little bit? No, not really. Is it something that we need to make major changes in the portfolio for? No, not really. Let's just be aware that all of the flights won't be 100 percent smooth all the time." ~ Glenn Dorsey


Main Takeaways 

  • Communication is the key to achieving high performance in an investment firm. Partners and financial advisors need to rally around the goal of delivering excellent results for clients.
  • Advisors need to be observant of national and local pandemic mandates. The unknown nature of the pandemic makes open communication and ongoing education even more important. 
  • Regardless of the inflation measure you’re looking at, it’s better to be invested and actively managing your portfolio than to hold back. 
  • Most portfolios are balanced between areas that benefit from an economic reopening and those that benefit from work-from-home culture.
