Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Christopher M. Larson I work with professionals, business owners, pre-retirees, and retirees who value personalized advice and a long-term financial partner.

CFP®, AAMS® Professional | Financial Advisor helping established professionals, business owners, pre-retirees, and retirees navigate important financial decisions with confidence through comprehensive financial planning and personalized advice. As a CFP® professional, I help clients make informed financial decisions through comprehensive financial planning, investment guidance, and retirement strategies tailored to their goals. Whether you're preparing for retirement, evaluating investment strategies, planning a business transition, or creating a legacy, I help clients make informed financial decisions with clarity and confidence. I earned bachelor's degrees in Corporate Finance and Personal Financial Planning from Southwest Minnesota State University, graduating magna cm laude in 2012. After more than a decade in corporate finance, I became a financial advisor to have a more direct impact on people's financial lives. That experience continues to shape my approach by combining analytical thinking with personalized guidance. I believe effective planning goes beyond investments. Retirement planning, investments, risk management, estate planning, and tax strategies should work together. That's why I often collaborate with clients' CPAs, attorneys, and other trusted professionals to help keep all aspects of their financial lives aligned. Some common questions I help clients address:

• What should I do with an old 401(k), 403(b), 457 plan, or IRA?
• Am I on track to retire when and how I want?
• How can I prepare for a business sale or transition?
• Is my portfolio aligned with my goals, timeline, and comfort with risk?
• How can I protect my assets and support my legacy goals?
• Are there opportunities or risks I may be overlooking? The most rewarding part of my work is building long-term relationships and helping clients feel confident about their financial future. I currently serve clients in 25 states and enjoy working with individuals, families, and business owners across the country.

Even though 32% of Americans experience are financially stressed and money is a constant source of pressure, 73% are using the internet as a source of financial advice, and largely managing their finances alone. This is where a financial advisor can make a difference. Research shows that financially fulfilled adults are 4.3x more likely to work with a financial advisor compared to financially stressed adults.

If financial stress is something you’re dealing with on your own, you don’t have to. Let’s talk through where you are and where you want to go.

This week marks the fourth anniversary of the current bull market. But what makes this bull market different from previous ones, and does it still have room to run?

Retirement planning isn't just about saving. It's about knowing what you're saving for. If you're within 5–10 years of retirement, these five questions are worth considering:

- When do you want to retire?
- How do you want to spend your days?
- Where do you want to live?
- What will your lifestyle cost?
- Does your plan include giving back?

Your answers are just the starting point. The next step is aligning them with a financial strategy built around the life you actually want. Ready to get started? Let’s talk.

Rising rates have grabbed headlines, but they're only one inning in a much longer game. Easing inflation, healthy consumer spending and growing corporate profits point to an economy that remains on solid footing.

Bond yields recently climbed to their highest levels in decades as investors weighed sticky inflation, booming AI investment and robust economic growth. In this evolving environment, higher interest rates are creating new opportunities in fixed income while shifting market leadership across equities.

The Fed raised interest rates for the first time in three years, as widely expected. While the announcement prompted an initial market reaction, resilient economic growth, strong corporate earnings and continued consumer spending could help support equities, even if interest rates move somewhat higher. Meanwhile, higher short-term bond yields may create new opportunities for investors seeking income.

Many people assume financial confidence comes with age. In my experience, it's not quite that simple.

New research from Edward Jones and Gallup shows that people across generations share concerns about their financial future. Younger adults are often working to build wealth, while older adults are focused on making their savings last. But both are looking for greater peace of mind about what's ahead.

That's one reason I enjoy helping clients create personalized strategies that align with their goals and priorities, both today and as their needs evolve over time.

Older adults are much more confident than younger adults in managing their current finances. Confidence in managing future finances, however, differs less by age.
