What is values-based retirement investing?
You'll find it on our website at twit.tv slash mbw or wherever you get your podcasts. We talk a lot on this show about values and beliefs and also how figuring out those can help you figure out how to make your money work for you. But sometimes, especially when it comes to investing, it's hard to know whether your money is going to causes and businesses that align with those values and beliefs. Today, we'll look at some ways to do that. Welcome to NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast, where you send us your money questions and we answer them with the help of our genius nerds. I'm Elizabeth Iola. Now, later on this episode, Sean and I will be answering a listener's question about values-based investing.
But first, our weekly money news roundup, where we break down the latest in the world of finance to help you be smarter with your money. Our news colleague, Rick VanderKneife, is back for a roundup of consumer tech news. Hey, thanks, Elizabeth.
How can I align my target-date fund with my values?
It's good to be back. In a moment, NerdWallet personal finance writer Tommy Tindall will join us to talk about tech, including the latest product announcements from Apple. But first, a quick update on the long brewing antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation, the owners of Ticketmaster. I love going to concerts, so I am very invested in seeing where this goes. But it does feel like this has been going on forever. What's the latest, Rick? Yeah, the ticketing giant has long been a company people love to hate, but things really heated up when Ticketmaster had a massive meltdown back when seats for Taylor Swift's Arrows Tour first went on sale back in 2022. That sparked congressional hearings, and finally in 2024, the antitrust suit brought by the Justice Department and eventually joined by 40 states.
So what were the arguments here, Rick? Yeah, the government was basically arguing that the company has become too dominant in live music, controlling the venues, the promotions and the ticket sales. That case finally went to trial last week. Out of the blue, a tentative settlement was announced this week.
What are the challenges of finding investments that match my beliefs?
So instead of breaking up the company, as some critics hoped, The settlement would make Live Nation pay about $200 million to states, cap some ticket fees at its own venues, loosen long-term exclusive contracts with venues, and open parts of Ticketmaster's platform to competitors. We'll be diving into this in more detail in this week's edition of Money Nerd, our weekly newsletter. But for now, let's talk about tech news. So I'd like to welcome Tommy to Smart Money. Hey, Tommy. Hey there. Good to be here. Yeah, let's start with the big Apple news. What did they announce and what stood out most to you? Apple had a really big week last week, releasing a range of products between Monday and Wednesday. They released a brand new affordable iPhone, the successor to the 16E, the 17E, which looks to be pretty compelling for about $599.
I may even recommend it to my mom. And then also there's a new iPad Air, a MacBook Air, a MacBook Pro, all with updated Apple silicon. Apple puts their own chips in their computers now.
