REVEALED: How To Invest During Inflation

HOW TO INVEST IN GOLD: Gold IRA Investing

HOW TO INVEST IN SILVER: Silver IRA Investing

The financial industry is constantly changing, and one of the biggest changes in recent years has been the increasing capital control tactics of brokerages and custodians. These tactics are designed to help prevent fraud and protect investors, but they can also limit investor choice, increase costs and potentially hurt returns.

Author and wealth strategist Barry Dyke recently discussed this issue on his podcast, BWL POD #0171. He pointed out that these tactics are primarily driven by two factors: government regulation and the fear of lawsuits.

With increased regulation following events like the Bernie Madoff scandal, brokerages and custodians are under pressure to demonstrate that they are taking steps to protect investors. This can lead to requirements such as additional account documentation, increased scrutiny of transactions and the use of third-party custodians.

At the same time, brokerages and custodians are also concerned about potential lawsuits. If an investor loses money, they may look to sue the brokerage or custodian to recover their losses. This can be expensive and damaging to the financial institution’s reputation, even if the allegations are ultimately unfounded.

To protect themselves and their clients, many brokerages and custodians are using capital control tactics like strict transaction monitoring and limits on certain types of investments. For example, some brokerages may not allow investors to purchase alternative assets like real estate or private equity within their accounts.

These tactics can be frustrating for investors who are looking to diversify their portfolios, minimize taxes or take advantage of unique investment opportunities. Some have even argued that these tactics can be counterproductive, as they may push investors towards riskier investments or increase the likelihood of fraud by limiting transparency.

However, Dyke notes that there are still plenty of investment options available for those who are willing to do their research and work with knowledgeable advisors. He cautions investors to be careful of brokerages and custodians that limit their options or overcharge for services, and encourages them to look for firms that have a track record of putting their clients’ interests first.

Ultimately, the increasing capital control tactics of brokerages and custodians are a reflection of the complex and ever-changing nature of the financial industry. While they can limit investor choice and increase costs, they are also designed to protect investors and help ensure the long-term stability of the markets. As such, investors should be aware of these tactics and take them into consideration when making investment decisions.
