Our Director of Marketing, Hannah Myers, recently attended HubSpot UNBOUND in Boston, and one thing was clear: the way people find information is changing quickly. We came back with new ideas around maximizing our marketing technology usage, AI, Answer Engine Optimization, and how we can make our educational content more useful, accessible and relevant for our clients.

Because good marketing for XML is about helping people find answers and make informed financial decisions so they can lead successful lives. Thank you to HubSpot UNBOUND for three great days of learning, conversations and new ideas.

Life moves in seasons, and each one can bring a different set of priorities.

Starting a career, building a family, growing a business, caring for loved ones, or preparing for retirement. What matters financially today may look very different a few years from now, and your financial plan should have the flexibility to evolve alongside you.

Wherever you are today, planning ahead can help you feel more prepared for the season that comes next.

XML Financial Group is here to help you navigate every chapter with a plan built around your life.

Trump Accounts are a new savings option for children, but where do they fit alongside the tools families may already be using?

Designed as custodial traditional IRAs for minors, Trump Accounts offer tax-deferred growth, have specific contribution and investment rules, and may include a one-time $1,000 federal seed contribution for eligible children. But they aren’t necessarily a replacement for 529 plans, custodial Roth IRAs, or taxable custodial accounts.
In our latest blog, we break down how Trump Accounts work, who can contribute, the rules families should know, and how they compare with other options for education and long-term savings. We also explore why these accounts may be most useful as one piece of a broader financial strategy for a child or grandchild.

Q4 is around the corner. Is your financial plan ready?

As the final quarter of the year approaches, it can be a good time to revisit your financial goals, consider what may have changed since the start of the year, and identify any planning priorities to discuss with your wealth advisor.

A thoughtful year-end review can help keep the conversation focused on what matters to you heading into the months ahead.

Connect with an XML wealth advisor to start the conversation.
