Weekly Client Letter – September 16, 2024

Historically, the stock market tends to perform well after interest rate cuts, which is why many investors are optimistic, and we’ve seen positive reactions recently.

However, there have been exceptions, such as in 2001 and 2007, when the results didn’t match expectations. This highlights the importance of maintaining a balanced approach and managing risk carefully.

We are closely tracking these trends to ensure your portfolio stays aligned with your financial goals, so it’s prepared for both potential gains and any challenges that may arise.
