The end of the second quarter brought further evidence of a “Goldilocks” scenario unfolding for the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) with growth moderating and inflation slowing. This scenario holds the potential to provide broader market support, as it creates room for the Fed to cut policy rates. However, both the timing and pace of Fed rate cuts remain contentious for investors. Read the full commentary by Jesse Stumpf, Director, Fixed Income here: https://hubs.la/Q02Hd4Yg0

Hotter than expected inflationary readings rattled stocks in April and sent bond yields to their highest levels since November of last year. Lingering inflation has been the main issue troubling investors as many came into 2024 betting on as many as a half-dozen rate cuts, only to rapidly scale back those bets when the Consumer Price Index (CPI) repeatedly topped expectations. Read the full commentary from Jonathan Shapiro, Principal & Co-Founder. https://hubs.la/Q02H5rZY0

Jason Petitte shares his thoughts on the Fed's delicate balancing act: Over the past two years, the Federal Reserve (“the Fed”) and other policymakers have been navigating a similar, but vastly more complex, problem of pruning back the economy just enough to curtail inflation while both avoiding a recession and planting the seeds for new economic growth in the future. In the popular and financial press, this delicate balancing act is often referred to as the Fed’s attempt to engineer a “soft landing” for the economy.

Last week, Joshua Pilson, CAIA, had the opportunity to speak on a panel at the Minnesota RIA Summit where he discussed ways of differentiation through culture, tech, and innovation in the RIA space. We want to thank Portfolio Summits for hosting the event and highlight Joshua Pilson for representing Kovitz!
The Minnesota RIA Summit resumed with the session "Coming to a Crossroads: Build, Buy, or Sell?". The discussion was anchored by insights from the RIA Edge Report by Wealth Management IQ, which revealed that 80% of surveyed RIAs believe their businesses will be worth at least 10% more in 2024 compared to 2023, with 50% expecting a 20% or greater increase. Moderated by Kurt S. Durrwachter, CFP®, CRPS™ (Managing Director) at Dakota Wealth Management, the panel included Eric Hutchens, CFA®, CFP®, AIF® (President) of Allodium Investment Consultants, Joe Haupert (Chief Business Officer) at Credent Wealth Management, and Craig Bartlett, CFP® (Senior Vice President of Advisors) at Choreo Advisors. The panelists debated the merits and drawbacks of both engaging in M&A activities or focusing on organic growth. Soon after, the focus shifted to "Women in the Wealth Management Industry." This session highlighted the significant control women have over U.S. household financial assets and addressed the financial industry's historical oversight of female investors. Moderated by Brittany Anderson (President and Partner) at Sweet Financial Partners, the panel featured Nancy Hughes, CFP, CAP® (Chief Operating Officer and Managing Partner) at Waypoint Capital Advisors, LLC, and Kate Maier, JD, CFP®, CTFA (Vice President of Private Client) at Wealth Enhancement Group. They discussed strategies for attracting, developing, and retaining female advisors. Following an engaging networking break the summit continued with "Rethinking Fixed Income Investment Strategies." This session, moderated by Corey Wrenn (President and CEO) of Pecaut Wealth Management, explored the complexities of fixed income investing in the current economic climate. Panelists David Reichart, CFA, CAIA (VP of Business Development) at Spectrum Asset Management, Inc., and Joe Rorke, CFA (Investment Management Partner) at Callan Family Office, provided insights on rates, inflation, traditional strategies, and innovative solutions for hedging against market downturns. For the final panel, the discussion turned to "Integrating Financial Planning and Practice Management for Advisor Success." This session emphasized the importance of integrating financial planning and practice management to drive success in a competitive landscape. Moderated by Kent Tkach (Account Executive) at Practifi the panel included Joshua Pilson, CAIA (Director) at Kovitz, Steve Lear (Managing Director) at Affiance Financial, and Matt Cosgriff, CFP®, CPFA (Senior Vice President and Head of Wealth Management Advisory Services) at SageView Advisory Group. They discussed ways to differentiate firms beyond traditional portfolio returns, focusing on cultivating a cohesive company culture, leveraging technology, and exploring digital transformation and AI. Thank you to all our speakers and attendees for joining! A big shoutout to our happy hour sponsor Timberland Partners. #PortfolioSummits #RIA #Summit #Minneaolis
