War, Markets & Your Money- What Retirees Need to Know in a K-Shaped Economy I April 21, 2026 at 10:30am PT

Virtual Event  |  Duration: 1 Hour  |  Presented by Paul R. Ried Financial Group, LLC

In today's global environment, geopolitical conflict and economic divergence are reshaping markets, industries, and long-term financial outcomes. During this webinar, we discussed how ongoing conflicts influence global supply chains, inflation, and market volatility—and what a K-shaped economic environment means for investors, businesses, and households. This session provided perspective on why some sectors and individuals continue to advance while others face increasing pressure, and how these dynamics may affect financial planning and investment decision-making going forward. Paul, Tim, and Adam answered your questions on these pressing matters and helped provide clarity during a time of ongoing change.
