Howard Capital’s HCM-BuyLine® Unwavering Despite Headline-Induced Volatility

Click Here to Read the Analysis

The following analysis was written by Vance Howard, CEO of Howard Capital. Howard Capital provides money management services through our firm, Houston Wealth Advisers, LLC, a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA). We make this post available as a courtesy, but wish to note that we have not contributed to, nor are we responsible for, its contents.

Howard Capital uses an internal index, HCM-BuyLine®, which is driven by a privately developed algorithm, to seek to identify and compare market up/down trends to determine what percentage of an SMA should be held in stocks vs. bonds or cash, given the account’s risk profile. As the market trends up, the index turns positive, and stock positions are increased. As the market trends down, the index turns negative, and stock positions are decreased. HCM-BuyLine® does not attempt to determine exact highs and lows in the stock market, nor is it a market timing service. Rather it seeks to identify trends to help guide the firm to make its allocation decisions. It is not a flawless tool, and risks are inherent. So, to better understand HCM-BuyLine®, the risks associated therewith, including the potential for loss of capital, and to learn more about Vance Howard’s background and qualifications and Howard Capital Management, visit the firm’s website.

SECURE 2.0 Act Becomes Law

On Thursday this week, President Biden signed into law a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill . Of particular note to investors was the inclusion of the SECURE 2.0 Act (an expansion of the 2019 Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act). Two key provisions concerning IRA, 401K, and other qualified retirement plans were included in the act:

Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) – Prior to the 2019 CARES Act, RMDs were required to begin at age 70 1/2. The 2019 act raised the beginning age to 72. Starting on January 1, 2023 (tomorrow), the RMD beginning age will be raised to 73. The beginning age increases again to 75 in 2033 (10 years from now). These changes help those not ready to withdraw funds from their plans at age 72. An additional year of potential investment growth and tax benefits before making withdrawals can improve the financial life of plan participants.

IRA/401K Contribution Catch-Up Limits – This affects participants of all qualified plans starting in 2025 (2 years from now). Currently, beginning at age 50, participants in Traditional and Roth IRA, 401K, 403B, 457, and other qualified retirement plans are allowed to make higher contributions to their plans in excess of the normal limits for younger participants. This is referred to as a catch-up election. Under the new law, additional increases in catch-up election contribution limits will affect participants at ages 60 – 63. This will allow savers to not only increase their plan contributions above the normal plan limits beginning at age 50, but at ever higher limits at ages 60, 61, 62, and 63 as they move closer to retirement.
