Taylor Swift said [In order to play the music and sing the song she loves, there's a lot of other work she has to do to get there] This phrase echoed with me as I prepare my first fund over the last 9 months. In essence, a fund is simple. I run machine learning models I place the buy / sell order in the platform. And I love it. But in order to do what I love that through a fund, the amount of legal, regulatory and tax considerations I have to go through stops 99% of the people to start a fund. For a private fund like the one I am starting, the net asset requirement is $2.7 million USD excluding your primary residence. Now, I am merely weeks from starting my fund I got my offering memorandum, subscription package, streamlining the onboarding process. My team sent out invitation to a small group of VIP investors / close contacts Now, I am just waiting to open a brokerage account with either Charles Schwab or Clear Street to start trading If you are interested in checking out my BranchPoint team and what we are offering, here's the website: https://branchpointfunds.com/ If you want to get a copy of the investor package, you can reply this email and I can connect you with my BranchPoint GP team and they can provide you with the access. Cheers, Eric --- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com Whether or you are retiring with $50K, $100K, $300K or more, it is important to figure out the right strategy for you. For people with lots of capital, they can afford to throw it all into CDs / GICs and earn a low 2-3% return. However, if you are looking to generate cashflow with a few hundred thousand, then you would need to look deeper You need to find a more capital efficient strategy and still achieve your target monthly cashflow (for retirement or simply working less) In Investing Accelerator, you will learn two strategies:

As SpaceX IPO was overall positive and Donald Trump also called off the attack on Iran, I expect this week to be overall bullish The key even this week is whether or not Fed would increase the interest rate given 4.2% inflation. Even if Fed maintains its interest rate, as long as the new Fed Chair has a more positive outlook during his speech, I expect the market to bounce up. Thus, it is not so much about whether or not we get a rate cut this week but rather How dovish is Fed going to be going forward? How many cuts can we expect in 2026?​ Cheers, Eric ---- Eric Seto Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) Founder of 5MinInvesting.com In June, I’m helping 10 people to become better at investing through Investing Accelerator.

3,2,1 - Happy New Year ! As we flip over the page of 2025 and continue our journey into 2026, I would like to thank you for being part of this community and on my email list. 2025 was a year of growth for me, where I rapidly tested hundreds of investing strategies (experiencing another growth spurt in my investing career) 2026 ​is the year when we scale strategies and help more people in the process ​​Instead of capital gains, my focus is now to help people retire better with income-genearting strategies. ​​ This is particularly helpful if one is using Roth or a Traditional IRA to invest, where one can generate the income and delay tax until one needs it (or completely tax free with Roth) ​​ ​I wish you the best for 2026 and thanks again for your support in 2025.
