April is Financial Literacy Month, and weā€™re breaking it down one word at a time.

Each week, weā€™ll highlight a key financial concept - because clarity creates confidence when it comes to your financial future.

First up: fiduciary.
Itā€™s more than just adviceā€¦ itā€™s a commitment to always act in your best interest.

Follow along all month as we simplify the language of wealth!šŸ—£ļø

Last week Tim was on the floor of the NYSE, where Michael and Susan Dell rang the opening bell to celebrate their $6.25 billion donation supporting the newly established ā€œTrump Accountsā€.

Every American child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028 is eligible to receive a seed deposit of $1,000 from the U.S. Treasury. (Any child under 18 who is a US citizen with a Social Security number is eligible to set up an account.)

These tax-advantaged funds are designed to be invested in American companies, with the goal of growing with the market over the course of a childā€™s life. As with all investments, account values will fluctuate based on market performance.

Accounts can be opened by filing Account IRS Form 4547 or through the online portal at www.trumpaccounts.gov
