Manage episode 422871926 series 2514811
On today’s episode, we welcome Troy Eckard to the podcast. Troy has nearly four decades of experience exclusively focused on domestic oil and gas, making him a top expert in his field. His family-owned energy company, Eckard Enterprises, represents 1800 high-net-worth partners with over $850 million in assets under management, including mineral rights and working interests in midstream pipeline projects. Eckard Enterprises is renowned for its transparency, business ethics, track record, and results. Troy, welcome to the podcast! How are you doing today, my friend?
Troy, who was highly recommended by several trusted and prudent investor friends, is here to shed some light on the alternative investment world and how it differs from traditional investment platforms. He explains that when he started his career in 1985, alternative investments were seen as taboo and risky. However, over the past 40 years, the internet has revolutionized this asset class, making it more credible and accessible. Today, alternative assets are a mainstream investment opportunity, comparable to publicly traded assets.
We delve into whether these investments are suitable for high-income individuals without a windfall or those with large liquidity. Troy explains that one's financial position and personality determine their appropriateness for alternative investments, emphasizing the need for understanding the commitment involved. He shares insights on how these investments can provide long-term benefits and stability, especially through strategies like the 1031 exchange, which allows for tax deferment and continued wealth generation.
Troy also touches on the tax advantages of investing in oil and gas, highlighting the impact of the 1986 Tax Reform Act and the evolution of drilling technology. He explains how these investments can offer significant tax deductions while creating sustainable income. The conversation reveals the importance of working with reputable sponsors and understanding the complexities of the oil and gas industry to avoid pitfalls and maximize returns.
This episode provides a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and challenges in the alternative investment space, particularly in oil and gas, offering valuable insights for high-net-worth individuals and those considering diversifying their investment portfolios. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll continue this enlightening discussion with Troy Eckard.
