There is no silver bullet when it comes to investing or wealth management in general… if there was, we would all be sitting on yachts and most likely not reading this article. However, there needs to be some clarity and calm on the very complex 'Brexit' subject for our US based clientele. 





We experienced first hand the creation of Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM), Britain's exit from the ERM, the intro of the Euro, and now the exit from the EU (aka "Brexit"). Many people travel, but those who live in places differ tremendously than those who spend two nights in a city and are up at dawn to find the next locale in a neighboring country or city. When you live somewhere, you remember far more. Having lived in the UK for over 20 years, in the USA for over 15 years, and multiple other countries like Australia, Argentina, Senegal, Italy, France and Spain, here is our first hand perspective in short… 

  • The Brexit referendum consisted various complex subjects (immigration, EU participation, grants, trade). Some voted with their emotions, some voted with their wallets...


  • Brexit now allows a potential UK Independence Day that will compete with July 4th (parody!)

  • Brexit will mean higher inflation, higher unemployment, slower growth, higher interest rates in the UK

Despite the pick-up in volatility at the end of January, risk assets continued their upward ascent throughout the month. Expectations surrounding the implementation of the newly passed tax reform bill and the weakening US dollar served as positive catalysts for the month.

With 39 percent of Americans feeling ill-prepared for retirement, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s 2017 Retirement Confidence Survey, we are often challenged to come up with a solution to make saving easier.[1] Unfortunately, there are no easy solutions, and in the absence of u

In a widely anticipated move, the Fed increased interest rates by 25 basis points on March 15, 2017, the second interest rate hike in three months and there are talks of potentially two more raises this year.

A slowdown in China, which generated anxiety over the outlook for global growth, combined with the Federal Reserve’s decision to postpone the first interest rate hike, while warning of global developments, led to uncertainty and significant equity market volatility during the third quarter.

Dental and Vision Plans are generally low in cost, but are they actually worth purchasing? Usually the answer to these questions is that it completely depends on your personal circumstances.
