We recognize how difficult it can be to set aside the strong emotions that often arise during major geopolitical events, such as the start of the war in Iran on February 28, 2026. However, as difficult as it may be, investment decisions driven by short-term fear should be avoided, as history has consistently shown that long-term investing outshines attempts to time the market during periods of volatility.
Here is what we know so far:
💠Oil prices have risen and may continue to increase, with the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed.
💠Global markets have closed lower and may continue to experience volatility in the coming days.
💠Gold, a safe-haven asset, has surged.
💠There is some risk of limited economic impacts tied to these developments, depending on how the situation unfolds.
There are still unknown variables, including how long the war will last, whether the conflict will expand beyond the current fighting in Iran and Hezbollah, and who will rise to power in Iran.
Ultimately, the decisions made by Iran, Israel, the United States, and other countries may influence markets and the broader economy
We understand that periods like this can feel uncertain. Please know that we are actively monitoring developments, assessing long-term opportunities, and considering your specific financial situation.
