Chart of the Month
Zoom-In, Zoom-Out – something we have all become good at thanks to phone photography. When it comes to investing, it is important to not “zoom-in” too far and have a narrow focus, but rather, “zoom out” and view things with a wider lens. The beginning of 2022 has seen above average price movements in the S&P 500, dominated by headlines from inflation, rate hikes, and geopolitical tensions. The S&P 500 crossed into “correction” territory (defined as a 10% drop) with 1 week remaining in February, yet, if you “zoom out”, the market paints a different picture than what is frequently portrayed throughout the media. The recent decline barely makes a blip in the big picture, and as the chart shows, drawdowns of this magnitude, while not frequent, are not necessarily uncommon. Investors have had a great run over the last decade with the market returning 14.3% on an annualized basis, and despite the doom and gloom to start 2022, we would expect equities to continue playing a critical role in helping build and maintain wealth in your portfolios.

Corrected 1099 Form will be mailed as needed.
You may receive a corrected Form 1099. There are several reasons for this- for example, issuers of securities held in your account may provide updated or additional information after your Form 1099 is mailed to you.
