Solidcore Founder Anne Mahlum Doesn’t Want to Die Rich

Anne Mahlum built and sold Solidcore, a national fitness empire — and now she’s asking what really matters. After achieving financial freedom following her $100M exit, she’s thinking deeply about what it means to live a rich life. From love and legacy to family, philanthropy and mentoring, she’s considering how to spend, give and structure her wealth to make an impact while she’s still alive. In this episode of What Should I Do with My Money?, host Jamie Roô brings Anne together with Victoria, a Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor, to explore values-based wealth planning, giving while living and how post-exit founders can reinvent their purpose for the next chapter of their life.

Of course, these views may change without notice in response to changing circumstances and market conditions.

The discussion of any securities in this material should not be construed as a solicitation to buy or sell such securities. Portfolio holdings are subject to change and there is no guarantee that any securities mentioned will be held in a client’s account.

Clients should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters. Tax-loss harvesting: IRS rules stipulate that if a security is sold by an investor at a tax loss, the tax loss will not be currently usable if the investor has acquired (or has entered into a contract or option on) the same or substantially identical securities 30 days before or after the sale that generated the loss. This so-called "wash sale" rule is applied with respect to all of the investor's transactions across all accounts. Technology stocks may be especially volatile. Artificial intelligence (AI) is subject to limitations, and you should be aware that any output from an IA-supported tool or service made available by the Firm for your use is subject to such limitations, including but not limited to inaccuracy, incompleteness, or embedded bias. You should always verify the results of any AI-generated output. Because this strategy expects to hold a concentrated portfolio of a limited number of securities, a decline in the value of these investments would cause the portfolio's overall value to decline to a greater degree than that of a less concentrated portfolio. Equity securities may fluctuate in response to news on companies, industries, market conditions and general economic environment. Companies paying dividends can reduce or stop payouts at any time. Real estate investments are subject to special risks, including interest rate and property value fluctuations, as well as risks related to general and economic conditions. Private equity funds typically invest in securities, instruments, and assets that are not, and are not expected to become, publicly traded and therefore may require a substantial length of time to realize a return or fully liquidate. They typically have high management, performance and placement fees which can lower the returns achieved by investors. They are often speculative and include a high degree of risk. Investors can lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. They may be highly illiquid with significant lock-up periods and no secondary market, can engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase volatility and the risk of loss, and may be subject to large investment minimums. Any type of continuous or periodic investment plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. Since such a plan involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities, the investor should consider his/her financial ability to continue his/her purchases through periods of low price levels. Asset Allocation and diversification do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining financial markets.

When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; generally the longer a bond's maturity, the more sensitive it is to this risk. Bonds may also be subject to call risk, which is the risk that the issuer will redeem the debt at its option, fully or partially, before the scheduled maturity date. The market value of debt instruments may fluctuate, and proceeds from sales prior to maturity may be more or less than the amount originally invested or the maturity value due to changes in market conditions or changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Bonds are subject to the credit risk of the issuer. This is the risk that the issuer might be unable to make interest and/or principal payments on a timely basis. Bonds are also subject to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that principal and/or interest payments from a given investment may be reinvested at a lower interest rate.
