News Room: Peter Lazaroff Joins Stacking Benjamins to Talk Building the “Perfect” Portfolio

Written by Christine Linder | Nov 9, 2026, 8:26:32 PM

Plancorp Chief Investment Officer Peter Lazaroff recently joined the personal finance podcast Stacking Benjamins to discuss what it really takes to build a portfolio that fits your goals.

In the episode, “How to Build Your Perfect Portfolio With Peter Lazaroff,” Peter talks with hosts Joe Saul-Sehy and OG about why the right investment mix starts with an investor’s goals rather than a list of funds. He also shares a four-question framework for evaluating whether an investment deserves a place in a portfolio and discusses diversification, navigating market uncertainty and the value of having an investment policy statement.

The conversation draws on ideas from Peter’s book, The Perfect Portfolio: A Proven Guide to Smart Investing for Long-Term Success, and his approach to making complex investment decisions simpler and more practical.
