From tariffs and trade wars to geopolitical conflicts overseas, it feels like the headlines just wouldn't let up. Markets are reacting, prices are shifting, and the word "recession" seems to have come up more in recent conversations. For retirees and long-term investors, it was hard not to wonder what it all means for the markets and for your investment portfolio. That's exactly why we, hosted a timely and in-depth conversation—War, Markets & Your Money: What Retirees Need to Know in a K-Shaped Economy—conducted by Tim Kimmel, CFP®, Chief Financial Advisor, featuring  Adam Jordan, CIMA®, AAMS®, IACCP®, our Director of Investment Research & Management, and Paul Ried, MBA, CFP®, President and CEO of Paul R. Ried Financial Group.  Together, the three principals of our firm broke down how global conflicts historically have affected supply chains, inflation, and market volatility, and explored what a K-shaped economy really means for the overall financial markets. This special webinar, the first installment of our 2026 Client Education Series, tackled some of the most pressing questions our clients have been asking and offers the kind of clarity and perspective that only comes from sitting down with advisors who have extensive experience going through market volatility and who genuinely care about your financial well-being.
