It’s the important things—our families, our values, the impact we have on others—that connect us. And although making sense of it all can be hard, asking the right questions can make things clearer. So when we talk to you about wealth management, we want to learn about those life questions that are on your mind. “Should I start my own business? Is it better to leave my kids everything? Or nothing? How do I set up a charitable fund? Will my family be ok when I’m gone?” Together, we know we can find the answers.

A lot has changed since President Trump took office. His administration has initiated policy changes and markets have reacted. The Chief Investment Office (CIO) anticipates further volatility amid tariff concerns but continues to expect gains for the S&P 500 by year-end. A solid US economy and healthy corporate earnings growth should support the rally.
