New Year’s resolutions from top financial experts
Business resolution
• To be more proactive in helping Keel Point clients stick with their investment plans no matter how volatile or unusual investment markets become as we respond to the COVID pandemic, rebuilding our economy and adapting to new national leadership priorities.
• To help Keel Point advisors give their clients a better understanding of how their investment programs will respond to the type of economic recovery we will be experiencing in 2021 & 2022.
• To remember better that the impact of fiscal and monetary policy comes sooner and is greater on stock and bond markets than it is on employment, profits and economic growth.
• To be more proactive in discerning and understanding the new themes in Federal Reserve policy tools to address disadvantaged labor sectors, business sectors in bigger trouble (e.g. real estate) and stimulus needs beyond interest rates and credit markets.
Personal resolution
• To dedicate two days each week not to be thinking about work activities and instead to be reflecting the blessings of family, friends, the environment and life around me.
• To talk to at least one of my children or grandchildren every day regardless of whatever else may seem urgent or important that day.
