Here we are, at the midpoint of 2024. If we had to provide one word that defines the first half, it would be resilience. That resilience has continued to fuel the trends we saw in late 2023 – economic growth mixed with stubborn, but decelerating inflation. It’s tempting to say the growth trajectory will continue, but we believe the economy will soften in the second half, which will naturally have domino effects across the investing arena.

Through all the challenges, newfound opportunities, and every high and low we’ve experienced during the last couple of years, it’s no surprise why we might be striving for more balance. Whether it’s about the markets and global economy or what’s happening in our local communities, the news we’re hearing on a daily basis has the potential to disrupt the balance of our lives. But with resilience, perspective, and the support of close connections, we can navigate through it all and regain our sense of equilibrium. Even after another dizzying year, as 2022 proved to be.

Markets rarely give us clear skies, and there are always threats to watch for on the horizon, but the right preparation, context, and support can help us navigate anything that may lie ahead.
