Check out Halo’s CEO, Matt Radgowski, in a featured interview with The Wealth Advisor, to discuss how our latest innovation, Aura, is helping advisors analyze, simulate, and communicate the role of Structured Notes within a broader portfolio strategy.

With Aura, advisors can:
• Model portfolios with and without Structured Notes
• Visualize risk, return, drawdown, and yield impacts
• Run forward-looking simulations in seconds
• Create clearer conversations around defined outcome investing

As portfolio construction evolves, advisors need tools built for modern protective investing, not workarounds and spreadsheets.

The S&P 500 bottomed on March 30, and has yet to look back. April delivered a 10.4% gain, the index's best month in six years. The Nasdaq did even better, up 15.3%.

This is what a V-bottom looks like. And it's becoming the norm.

The lesson isn't that markets always bounce back this fast. It's that staying invested with the right protection in place means you don't have to make that call.

Volatility remains. Oil is near multi-year highs. Consumer sentiment is at record lows. The Fed is in transition. None of that stopped April from being one of the best months on record.

A risk-aware portfolio isn't about predicting what comes next. It's about being positioned for whatever does.
For investors considering structured notes as part of that positioning, it's worth understanding the full picture. These products are designed to be held to maturity, liquidity can be limited, and outcomes depend in part on the financial strength of the issuing institution. For those with a defined time horizon and clarity on those tradeoffs, they can offer a disciplined way to participate with a known risk profile from the outset.

Volatility is back. And for your clients approaching retirement, that's not just a number ❌ it's a threat to everything they've worked toward.

Principal Protected Notes might offer a middle path: full capital protection at maturity, with meaningful participation in market upside.

In today's rate environment, Note terms may be more attractive compared to the low-rate era 👀 making now a compelling time for advisors to revisit how these instruments fit into a goals-based portfolio.

💡Our latest Structured Notes 101 covers everything you need to know:

→ How Principal Protected Notes actually work (mechanically)
→ Why higher interest rates improve participation rates and caps
→ How they compare to soft and hard protection notes, annuities, and treasuries
→ Who they may be best suited for and what tradeoffs are important to discuss with clients

Whether you're new to Structured Notes or looking to sharpen your due diligence process, this is worth a read:

We're excited to announce our strategic collaboration with Ironlight Group Inc., making Halo one of the first platforms in the U.S. to tokenize and list Structured Notes on a public blockchain. 🔗

This milestone is designed to reduce operational complexity, improve settlement efficiency, and expand access to Structured Note capabilities for eligible investors, in the U.S. and around the world.

As Co-Founder & President Jason Barsema says: "This is the first step in what Halo and Ironlight aim to deliver in 2026, as we work together to shape the future of protective investments."

March madness was no joke this year for markets. The S&P 500 dropped 5.1%. Oil flirted with $120. Stocks and bonds fell in lockstep. Reminding everyone that the 60/40 portfolio still has some explaining to do in an inflationary regime.

But here's the thing: market volatility isn't just a headline risk. For advisors building with Structured Notes, a VIX above 30 may be an opportunity knocking.

In our latest Journal article, we broke down everything that happened in markets last month: the geopolitics, the intermarket dynamics, the earnings outlook, and what it all means for your clients' portfolios right now.
