Market changes continue to make headlines due to recent volatility born by factors ranging from inflation to geopolitical instability. In this environment, it can be helpful to put today’s volatility into perspective by reviewing market downturns and corrections of the past, and how volatility can even breed new opportunities for discerning investors.

 

At the same time, as GDP plunged in the first quarter, consumer confidence dips, and the Federal Reserve hikes rates at the fastest pace since 2005, a primary concern of economists is that the rug might be ripped from under the economy. Preparing both your and your clients’ portfolios for harsh economic times ahead should be an essential part of your practice, downturn or not.

 

Explore how investment professionals drive client engagement during market volatility, while recession-preparing portfolios.

 

The panel of professionals will:
  • Reflect on the current state of the market and share how they’re engaging their clients during turbulent times, while identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks in portfolios

  • Show how you can navigate market swings to maximize investment opportunities

  • Discuss the importance of active portfolio monitoring and “pulling the trigger” on an investment when an attractive buy arises

  • Review which asset classes are more likely to thrive in the current environment and which can bring favorable tax benefits

  • Discuss steps that you can take to address your clients’ recession concerns
