Geopolitical flare ups can rattle markets, but history shows their impact often fades fast. Even amid the current Middle East tensions and rising oil prices, today’s strong economic backdrop reinforces one message: stay focused on the long-term, not the headlines. We’re monitoring the latest developments and their potential implications for investors.

The U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran on February 28, prompting Iran to respond with counterattacks across multiple Middle Eastern cities.

I enjoyed taking some still-life photos this weekend...and joined the ranks of all the teary-eyed dads before me in giving away a daughter. Thankful that she found a man of integrity who fears God and has a genuine loving spirit. Love you, Kariana and Drew!

• This year the Fed raised rates at a pace not seen since the '70s and '80s, aiming to reduce demand and slow the pace of inflation. As a result, bonds experienced the largest sell-off since records started in 1926, failing to provide their typical diversification benefits.
• As we approach the end of the Fed's tightening cycle and a potential peak in yields, we believe a lot of the bond-price adjustment is now behind us. History also tells us these peaks generally occur about two months ahead of the last Fed rate hike which we think will occur in the first half of next year.
• We see attractive opportunities forming in fixed-income asset classes across bond maturities, as higher yields enhance return potential. With interest rates meaningfully higher now than at the start of 2022, we believe bonds are better positioned to provide diversification benefits.
