The headlines continue to shift, but one theme remains consistent: Investors are looking for perspective.

In September's For What It's Worth market update, Jeff and Ben discuss a resilient economy, strong corporate earnings, and the continued influence of artificial intelligence on the investment landscape.

They also explore some of the questions investors are beginning to ask about interest rates, bond yields, and the sustainability of current AI-related spending trends.

One takeaway stood out: the party isn't over, but it may be time to start dancing toward the back.

While we remain constructive on markets, we also believe in maintaining a disciplined approach, staying diversified, and paying attention to where both opportunities and risks may be developing.

As we head into the final months of the year, we're focused on helping clients stay informed, stay invested, and stay aligned with their long-term goals.

We have some exciting news to share.

This October, Dominic and Maddy will be getting married, and our entire team is thrilled to celebrate this special milestone with them.

Over the years, many of our clients and friends have had the chance to work with Dominic and experience the care, professionalism, and commitment he brings to every relationship. It is always rewarding to celebrate important moments in the lives of the people who make our team what it is.

Dominic will be out of the office from October 2 through October 16 while enjoying his wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii. During that time, the rest of our team will be available and ready to assist with any questions or needs.

We are grateful to be part of this exciting season in Dominic and Maddy's lives and look forward to celebrating with them. Please join us in wishing them all the best as they begin this next chapter together.

Earlier this month, Ben joined a recent Baird-wide webinar focused on the growing intersection of health and wealth planning. During the conversation, Ben shared how our team incorporates health-related discussions into the planning process to help clients navigate some of life's biggest transitions and uncertainties.

One of the key takeaways was that many financial concerns are connected to health and wealth questions. Whether someone is planning for retirement, evaluating healthcare costs, caring for aging parents, or navigating a job transition, these conversations often uncover opportunities to provide more comprehensive guidance.

We believe financial planning is about more than investments. It's about understanding what matters to people and helping them prepare for the future with confidence.

We're proud to see Ben recognized for sharing the work our team is doing to bring these important conversations into the planning process.

A recent NBC4 article highlighted a growing scam targeting users of online healthcare portals such as MyChart.

The scam involves emails and text messages that appear to come from a trusted healthcare provider. Recipients may be notified of new test results, account updates, or rewards and are encouraged to click a link, where scammers attempt to collect personal information and login credentials.

The most effective scams are often the ones that look routine.

Taking a moment to verify a message before responding can help protect your identity and personal information. When in doubt, access healthcare portals directly through your provider's website or app and contact your provider if something doesn't seem right.

A little caution can go a long way. Consider sharing this reminder with family members and loved ones who regularly use online healthcare portals.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Consumer experts are warning about a scam targeting patients who use the online portal MyChart, with scammers sending fraudulent emails and texts to steal personal inf…

As the calendar turns toward year-end, it's a good time to make sure Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) are on your radar.

For many retirees, RMDs are an important part of annual financial planning and can impact tax planning, charitable giving strategies, and overall cash flow.

While year-end may feel far away, it tends to arrive quickly. Reviewing distribution plans now can help avoid unnecessary stress later in the year.

Thoughtful planning is often about staying one step ahead.

Giving back to the community looks different for everyone.

Last month, Dominic participated in the Dash for Donation 5K in support of Lifeline of Ohio. The event helps raise awareness for organ, eye, and tissue donation while bringing people together around an important cause.

Have you participated in a race, fundraiser, or volunteer event recently? We'd love to hear about it.

Some client relationships extend far beyond the office.

Jeff recently returned from an annual fishing trip with longtime clients and friends. This year's trip delivered plenty of stories, including fish weighing up to 35 pounds and three broken fishing rods along the way.

While these catches were impressive, the time spent together was what made the trip memorable. Experiences like these are a reminder that strong relationships are built over years of shared conversations, trust, and time together.

We're glad Jeff had the opportunity to enjoy another great trip and come back with a few stories worth telling.
