The expected path of inflation has improved and it’s our belief that the Fed could potentially end rate hikes while real economic growth is still positive in the US. These crucial developments are what we were waiting for as we methodically de-risked the portfolios last year.

Trade Notice: BlackRock Standard Model 10/19/2023

The ghost of Septembers past haunted markets once again in 2023. This notoriously weak seasonal period – combined with rising rates and declining liquidity – saw stock and bond prices press lower but this also creates opportunity.

Trade Notice: BlackRock Standard Model 7/20/2023

Stocks have climbed a formidable wall of worry since March. Events that would have whipsawed markets and maybe even instigated a recession in the past, were instead treated as only mildly irritating speed bumps. Banking crisis? ‘No big deal.’ Congress flirting with default? *Yawn*.

February Market Commentary: Action and Reaction

February opened with a strong January employment number as the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an increase of 467,000 jobs. Instead of reassuring markets after a rough ride in January, it only served to fuel speculation that a strong labor market would lead the Federal Reserve to be more aggressive with rate increases than previously indicated, in its attempts to control inflation.

Monroe Wealth Management Portfolio Allocations & Insights 10/24/22

We have been strategically cutting risk and pruning active bets (exposures that deviate from the benchmark) across our models since the middle of last year, citing heightened market risks as the Fed commenced its tightening campaign.

Monroe Wealth Management Portfolio Allocations & Insights 7/21/22

Mixed economic data, an emboldened Fed hiking into a cyclical slowdown, and stock and bond markets that have ostensibly already priced in a lot of bad news (but with still-elevated analyst earnings expectations) provide conditions to blueprint both bull and bear arguments. We don’t have much confidence in which reality firmly takes hold from here and believe the market’s current price action represents more noise than signal.

Is Tax-Loss Harvesting Right for Your Portfolio?

Creating a well-diversified portfolio is the foundation of growing wealth. But there’s an aspect that may help increase your overall return – and it isn’t just an investment strategy. Being strategic about handling asset value declines is also a tax strategy. It can help you offset capital gains taxes resulting from managing your portfolio or taking income in retirement.

Tax-Planning-for-Business-Owners

Every stage brings different things to tackle, but they all have one thing in common – taxes. Business owners have unique tax advantages.

Are You Working Remote in a Different State? Do You Know the Tax Implications?

It’s been two and a half years since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and most of the country is up and running: students have returned to classrooms, people are traveling for pleasure and business in record numbers, and spectators are back in the stands. However, one aspect of society has not fully returned to pre-pandemic normalcy: remote work. Shortly after the pandemic began, many employees moved from larger cities with higher rates of COVID to the suburbs or smaller towns in other states to lower their costs or purchase a larger home. However, many of these workers may not know the tax implications of working in a different state than their company’s headquarters.

Retiring in a Volatile Market: Control What You Can

Retirement during a volatile market is unsettling. Whether you are on the cusp or have already made the leap, a market downturn’s impact on your savings will be felt now and potentially for years to come. How do you keep your plan on track and your desired lifestyle in place?

July Market Commentary: Will the Fed’s Rate Resolve Lead to Recession?

After a barely positive May, June saw the bear market return across indices. We ended up with the worst first half performance since 1970. A mid-month surprise 75 basis point rate hike at the June FOMC meeting, followed by Fed Chairman Powell’s testimony to Congress in which he indicated aggressive rate increases at the July and September meetings, convinced markets that inflation is the priority for the Fed.

Mistakes are Expensive: A New Generation Embraces Financial Planning at the Mid-Stage

Financial planning has evolved beyond investing assets. The old model limited comprehensive planning to a wealthy few with high levels of manageable assets. For many people, their first engagement with a financial advisor was when they needed to create a retirement income plan.

Is a Self-Directed 401(k) Right for You?

Contributing regularly to a 401(k) plan is the foundation of retirement savings for many people.

It’s Not About Inflation, It’s About Volatility

Inflation is driving the headlines and wreaking havoc on budgets. But for long-term investors – mostly everyone – short-term inflation isn’t the biggest risk to financial plans. Volatility is. It’s being fueled by the Federal Reserve’s efforts to balance bringing down inflation with keeping the economy out of recession.

June Market Commentary: Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My

The Fed lion has found the courage to increase interest rates drastically, the inflation tiger is still ambushing the economy, and now the stock market is flirting with bears. The question for investors is: Are we still deep in the forest? Or is that the Emerald City on the horizon? To extend the metaphor – that wizard wasn’t much help, and the solution to the problem turned out to be a liquidation.

Monroe Wealth Management Portfolio Allocations & Insights 5/18/22

Are Fed Actions Working? Parsing the New Data

After April’s downturn, the first two weeks of May have not seen substantial improvement. By Thursday, May 12, markets were dangerously close to bear territory. The Fed enacted a 50-basis point increase in the Fed funds rate at the May FOMC meeting, and we also now have April’s key data. In addition, Fed Chairman Powell sat for an interview in which he discussed his definition of a “soft landing” and what it will take to get there.

There’s a lot involved in moving to a new company, and normal for some to put some of the more tedious housekeeping items on the back burner. Besides all the job-related changes, you need to understand your new health insurance and set up your new 401(k) to continue your annual contribution.

May Market Commentary: The Fed Owned It, But Can They Control It?

COVID concerns took a definitive backseat as mask mandates on flights ended, and the concerns about the economy turned to how bad things will get. The concerns over the disruption of the ongoing war in Ukraine, 40+ year record inflation, and the resulting amping up of the Fed’s intentions on rate increases moved distinctly into the foreground.

Navigating Employee Stock Purchase Plans

A classic investment strategy is “Buy What You Know” – in other words, invest in companies and brands that you are familiar with and believe in. Investing in the company you work for can be part of a solid equity allocation, particularly when your company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) that allows you to buy shares of company stock at a 5%-15% discount with after-tax dollars.

March Market Commentary: In Like A Lamb, Out Like a Lion?
