The election is over, emotions have been on a roller coaster, the market keeps hitting all-time highs, and the holidays are upon us—there’s a lot going on.
With that in mind, I wanted to share some thoughts and perspectives with our clients and friends at AWP:
Our Investment Committee has spent significant time evaluating all portfolios and client accounts to ensure they’re well-positioned following this market rally. Looking ahead, we’re preparing for an early 2025 rebalance. Expect a summary email outlining our thoughts and any changes about a week or two before that process begins.
Overall, we’re extremely pleased with the overall performance of client portfolios. Our models held up remarkably well during the challenging 2022 market and quickly bounced back, not only recovering losses but also capitalizing on new market highs. For over 20 years, I’ve shared this principle with clients: “The key to long-term market success is minimizing losses during down years and protecting your wealth.” This philosophy remains as true as ever.
While politics often stir emotions, our focus is on pragmatic, disciplined management of nearly $1 billion in client assets. Regardless of which party is in office, history and economic fundamentals show that less regulation, limited government intervention, and extended tax cuts tend to support markets and business growth.
The greatest influence on your financial success comes from proactive wealth planning. If you’re a client, make sure you’re joining us for your annual planning sessions, where we whiteboard your “3 Buckets” to ensure you have adequate cash (for taxes, emergency fund, upcoming “big/fun” expenses), the right stock/bond mix, an updated estate plan and beneficiaries, and a proactive tax strategy.
Lastly, and arguably the most important thing to mention—Jolene (our Director of Stress Management and Therapy Dog) would appreciate a belly rub and treats. Please don’t let her down; it’s the least you could do (she says).
Happy holidays! Hug your loved ones, be grateful, and take some well-deserved rest.

The 2024 Forbes ranking of America’s Top Wealth Management Teams Best-In-State, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. This ranking is based upon the period from 3/31/2022 to 3/31/2023 and was released on 01/09/2024. Advisor teams that are considered must have one advisor with a minimum of seven years of experience, have been in existence as a team for at least one year, have at least 5 team members, and have been nominated by their firm. The algorithm weights factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Out of approximately 10,100 team nominations, 4,100 advisor teams received the award based on thresholds. This ranking is not indicative of an advisor's future performance, is not an endorsement, and may not be representative of individual clients' experience. Neither Raymond James nor any of its Financial Advisors or RIA firms pay a fee in exchange for this award/rating. Raymond James is not affiliated with Forbes or Shook Research, LLC.
