After beginning the year with markets pricing in multiple rate cuts, a sharply accelerating labor market and energy-driven inflation have meaningfully shifted the outlook toward potential policy tightening — creating a more complex backdrop for equities and fixed income alike.

As investors look beyond Middle East tensions, U.S. economic fundamentals are coming into sharper focus, driven by an accelerating AI investment and robust corporate profit growth, reinforcing the constructive case for equities. However, elevated inflation may keep rate cuts off the table and limit near-term progress in bond markets.

I’m excited to help spread the word about a new type of Savings Option for Children: Section 530A (“Trump”) Accounts



These accounts are designed to help families start building long‑term financial security for their kids.



Here’s what families should know:

• These accounts are available for children under age 18 with a Social Security number

• They allow families to invest up to $5,000 per year per child

• A pilot program will include a $1,000 federal seed contribution for children born between 2025 and 2028

• Funds grow tax‑deferred and can later be used to support major life goals



What makes this especially impactful is that employers may also contribute — and some firms, including Edward Jones, have announced plans to support these accounts through employer contribution programs. That means families could have an additional way to accelerate savings beyond their own contributions.



I’m proud to work for a firm that continues to invest in forward‑thinking solutions that support families and long‑term financial independence. These accounts represent a powerful opportunity to start planning early and thoughtfully for the future.



If you’d like to learn how Section 530A accounts work, who’s eligible, or how they fit into a broader financial plan, I’m happy to help.

Today, Edward Jones announced a series of initiatives that reflects the firm’s long-standing commitment to improve financial outcomes for clients, colleagues and communities across the country.

Last week’s Inter-City visit to Phoenix, AZ was a great experience. I learned so much, met incredible business and community leaders from Raleigh, and even made a few new friends along the way. Hearing about the direction Raleigh is growing, and seeing the intentional, long term strategy behind so many decisions was truly inspiring. It struck me how similar that mindset is to the work we do with our clients; thoughtful planning, discipline and clarity around long-term goals. Seeing that same forward-looking approach applied at a city level was exciting and reassuring. I think we’re in very good hands as Raleigh continues to grow
