Current State of the Markets & Investing with Matt Heimann, CFA (Part 1)
Apr 11, 2024
The past few years have been marked by incredible volatility in the stock market, which has created plenty of uncertainty for investors. Just in the past five years, we’ve seen the market crash during COVID, high inflation and interest rates, and bonds falling sharply alongside equities in 2022.
It’s no surprise that some people have chosen to stay on the sidelines when it comes to investing. They’ve chosen to remain conservative and keep their money in cash or very safe investments like savings accounts and CDs. But should you be concerned about being invested in today’s environment?
We’re excited to be joined by Chartered Financial Analyst Matt Heimann, Director of Asset Management at CreativeOne Wealth to get his insight on the market and economy. With experience with the Federal Reserve and as a Chief Investment Officer, Matt provides his valuable perspective on building portfolio and navigating a volatile market.
Here’s some of what we cover in this episode:
- How the Federal Reserve uses interest rates to combat inflation and unemployment.
- Which will way interest rates move in the near future?
- The two risks we should be focused on today.
- What strategies you can use to offset the fear of a possible recession?
