Most investment discussions typically focus on asset classes, like stocks, bonds, or real estate. When the debate heats up around what’s the better mix or methodology, we often forget to cover the most important asset of all: your human capital.

So, what is human capital? Simply put, human capital is the set of skills and abilities that you can use to earn income or generate wealth over your lifetime. It is an asset that you can optimize to generate additional funds for future investment—more human capital, more potential wealth, more investment possibilities.

In stark contrast to the second quarter of 2020, the economic and market story of Q2 2021 was one of recovery and momentum. As COVID-19 vaccines rolled out in the West and cases fell in many countries including the U.S., equities around the world posted gains, consumer spending boomed, and corporate profits remained strong. Although the surge of reopening demand for goods and services has put pressure on global supply chains and labor markets, fueling an uptick in inflation, and the slow and uneven distribution of vaccines around the world have precluded the true end of the pandemic, the global economy appears to be on the mend.

Quarterly Market Review: The Recovery Gains Steam

The frenzied behavior of financial markets that characterized 2020 showed no signs of letting up in the first quarter of 2021. In addition to the strong gains posted by many U.S. stocks (and more muted gains by technology stocks), headlines were dominated by dramatic price swings in “meme stocks” such as GameStop and spectacular losses by high-profile investment firms such as Melvin Capital. Over the course of the quarter, markets digested a trove of events and signals, from the shifting political landscape in the U.S. marked by a swap in control of the U.S. Senate to the current state of the ongoing pandemic and expectations about the future success of vaccination campaigns around the world.



Quarterly Market Review: Investor Optimism Abounds

2020 was a year fraught with challenges virtually unmatched in living memory, including a global pandemic, a chaotic U.S. presidential election, and the increasingly devastating effects of a changing climate. Although some of these challenges persist and many of us still have valid worries, it is crucial that investors keep tabs on their portfolios and financial plan to ensure that current and future challenges are not made even worse by personal financial instability. On the bright side, 2020 ended up being a year of spectacular returns for investors who held firm during an enormous Q1 selloff in the early stages of the pandemic in the U.S.

SigFig 2020 Market Year-in-Review: Investing During Unprecedented Times

In the first two installments of our three-part series on Optimizing Your Human Capital, we defined human capital and how to optimize it. We then discussed some of the human capital assets that define you, as well as assets that you can control, and the important role they play in optimizing your own human capital. In the third article in the series, we will discuss some of the assets that matter on your journey to optimizing your human capital. Those are:

Optimizing Your Human Capital, Part 3: Assets That Matter

In the first installment of our “Optimizing your human capital” series, we defined human capital and discussed what it means to “optimize” it in the context of things that define you. While those assets can perhaps be improved upon, they are often intrinsic traits. We then gave a few examples of how to optimize your human capital around some critical defining characteristics that have incredible value in the workplace.

Ask someone in the financial services industry to define financial advice andmost will point to wealth management and advisor-led financial planning forhigh net worth clients. But ask a customer, and they’ll give a more holisticdefinition that doesn’t set thresholds based on wealth, nor restrict adviceonly for long-term needs. This dichotomy presents an opportunity fortransformative realignment.

Bank branches aren’t Blockbuster, but they’re moving in that direction. Thetrend solidified following the Great Recession; over 5,000 branches were lostin the last decade. In Spring City, Pennsylvania, someone has even transformedan old bank branch into a private residence, complete with two vaults thatserve as a bar and a sauna. (Admittedly, we have some concerns about putting asauna behind an armored safe door, but to each their own!)

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we relate to one another. It has forced us to go online in unprecedented and often challenging ways. But it is now — when so much is uncertain — that we crave the comfort and advice of other humans. Face-to-face meetings may be scarce, but it is important to keep connecting. Your clients want to know you are looking out for them in a turbulent time.
