As Commonwealth’s chief market strategist, I’m excited to provide regular updates on the market and economic news that financial advisors (and their clients) want to learn more about. My goal is to filter through the noise and provide my perspective on the topics that matter to you, including market volatility, Fed monetary policy, and more. Brad McMillan, Commonwealth’s chief investment officer, will continue to write posts on occasion. We will also feature pieces from our deep bench on the Investment Management & Research team, whose expertise spans topics ranging from investment strategies to the international markets.
I hope you will find the blog interesting and informative. Please feel free to leave feedback and comments—we want to hear from you!
