With lots of media coverage around the contentious U.S. elections, conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine and speculation around whether the Fed will cut interest rates, many are wondering what it all means for their financial plan. In this video created for Edelman Financial Engines clients, EFE’s Isabel Barrow, Director, Financial Planning sat down with colleagues Kathy Harder, Director, Financial Planning and Andy Smith, Executive Director, Financial Planning to discuss the types of conversations they’re having with clients about these topics and how to be prepared for their potential impact. Because money doesn’t come with instructions®, some of their advice includes controlling what you can control, considering the role of a cash reserve, navigating your options with higher mortgage rates, avoiding financial decisions based solely on the election or geopolitical events, and taking charge of market volatility amid rate uncertainty.
