Reassuring Our Clients during Tough Times with Austin Smith

  • Summary

  • The past two years have been—and still are—extraordinary times. With extraordinary times come unexpected market shifts and economic uncertainties resulting in concerns over retirement funds. While we do pride ourselves on being the best at managing our clients’ finances, we’re not bold enough to predict what the market will do tomorrow, next week, or the following year. What we can do is reassure our clients that the planning and asset management we do will keep their money safe and mitigate—if not prevent—long-term losses.

    In this episode, I’m joined by my partner, Austin Smith. We discuss our long-term business plans and the phone calls we receive from worried clients. We explain how we prepare for economic downturns. We describe what it means to invest through cycles to mitigate risks. We share what we think of market gurus who believe they can time the market. We also highlight the importance of setting up a plan after selling your business, especially if your kids inherit your assets.
