Market growth doesn't happen in a straight line. 📈

Since reaching its October 2022 low, the S&P 500 has experienced significant gains, but not without periods of volatility along the way.

As the chart highlights, the index has experienced multiple pullbacks of 5% or more, including a larger decline in early 2025.

The takeaway?

Market pullbacks are a normal part of investing, even during periods of strong overall performance. Staying focused on long-term financial goals rather than short-term market movements can help investors maintain perspective through changing market conditions.

Financial literacy starts with understanding the decisions that impact your own financial future.

Ahead of open enrollment, one of our advisors, Matthew Jellison, CFP® recently spent time with the young professionals in our office to walk through retirement and health benefit options, answer questions, and help our team better understand the resources available to them.

At GCG Advisory Partners, we believe financial education matters at every stage of life. Creating opportunities for our team to learn, ask questions, and make more informed financial decisions is one way we put that belief into practice.

We’re proud to see our advisors sharing their knowledge and our team investing in their financial futures.

The U.S. economy continues to show signs of growth.

Real GDP—which measures economic output adjusted for inflation—grew at a 2.2% annualized pace in Q2 2026. Looking ahead, the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model currently estimates 3.7% annualized growth for Q3, suggesting economic activity could accelerate from the previous quarter.

GDPNow is a real-time estimate that changes as new economic data becomes available, so it isn’t a final reading or guarantee of future growth. Still, it provides a useful snapshot of how the economy may be performing before official GDP data is released.

For investors, economic growth is just one piece of the bigger picture. Keeping an eye on GDP alongside inflation, interest rates, employment and corporate earnings can help provide context for what may be ahead.

Today marks an exciting milestone for GCG Advisory Partners!!
We’re proud to welcome Butch Safyurtlurtlu, JD, and Elena Safyurtlu on to GCG's Pax Mentis Advisors platform. Latin for "peace of mind," Pax Mentis is an established GCG-owned brand for our investment management models and with this partnership GCG extends the familiar name into full-service private wealth.

The team's experience serving ultra-high-net-worth families and business owners brings an important new dimension to our platform and establishes a dedicated family office capability that we look forward to building upon.

With this partnership, GCG has also surpassed $5 billion in assets under management, a milestone that reflects the continued growth of our firm and, more importantly, the exceptional advisors and teams who have chosen to build with us.

We’re grateful for how far we’ve come and excited about what we’re building together.

Education funding is one of the few goals your clients fund on a deadline they can't move — and it competes with retirement savings for the same dollars.

This chart gives you something concrete for that conversation: median annual earnings for full-time workers age 25 and over, by highest level of education completed. Each additional level has historically been associated with higher earnings, and the largest step is between a high school diploma alone ($51,688) and a bachelor's degree or higher ($91,936) — a premium that has held across a wide range of labor market conditions.

Why it's useful in a planning meeting:
It frames the 529 as an investment, not an expense. A client staring at four years of tuition is only looking at one side of the ledger.

It sizes the trade-off honestly. The premium has to be measured against tuition, student debt and income forgone while enrolled — and that math looks different for a $30K in-state degree than a $90K private one.

It makes college-versus-retirement a trade-off, not a judgment call. Clients rarely want to hear that funding a degree may delay a retirement date. A number on the table helps.

Save this one for fall review season.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the courage of the first responders who answered the call, and recognize the strength and unity shown in the days that followed.

Last week, members of the GCG Advisory Partners leadership team traveled to California for the ECHELON Deals & Dealmakers Summit, connecting with leaders from across the wealth management industry and discussing what’s ahead for our space.

Events like this give our team the opportunity to look beyond where we are today and continue shaping where we want to go—learning from others, sharing perspectives, and building relationships that can help move our organization forward.

There’s a lot to be proud of in how far we’ve come, and even more to look forward to as we continue building the next chapter of GCG.

Great teams get even stronger when they have the opportunity to learn from one another. This week, members of the GCG Advisory Partners team traveled to St. Louis to spend time with one of our newest partners, Gateway Financial Advisors and see firsthand one of the strategies that has helped drive their growth.

A highlight of the visit was attending one of Gateway’s in-person educational seminars — a key part of the team’s approach to connecting with prospective clients, building trust, and creating meaningful conversations around investing and financial planning. The Gateway team brings deep investment knowledge to our organization, particularly in the structured investments space.

We’re excited to have Gateway Financial Advisors as part of GCG and look forward to everything we can learn and build together.

Success is even more meaningful when it’s shared. At GCG Wealth Management, our culture is built around collaboration, partnership, and a shared commitment to growth. Through the GCG Advisory Partners equity partnership model, our advisors have the opportunity to learn from one another, exchange ideas, strengthen their businesses, and ultimately deliver more for the clients they serve.

This year, we were proud to celebrate our top-performing advisors with an unforgettable trip to Lake Tahoe, recognizing the hard work, dedication, and results that continue to move our organization forward.

Beyond the views and time away, the trip was a reminder of what makes the GCG community special: talented advisors coming together, celebrating each other’s success, and building toward what’s next.

Congratulations to this year’s top performers and to another outstanding year of advising!

Big names don't always mean small risk. Even some of the market's most recognizable companies are still sitting 30%–60% below their 52-week highs, while the S&P 500 is nearly back to breakeven.

Diversification can't eliminate risk, but it can help reduce the impact of any one company's setbacks.
