Three months into 2022, we can all agree that this year too is going be challenging. The resurgence of inflation as a concern for consumers, businesses, and investors has dominated headlines in our inboxes since October '21 but come December '21, the Consumer Price Index rose to 7%.

To make matters worse, the 60/40 portfolio had its worst slide since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. With tensions rising on the international front, market volatility is expected. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has been the most important geopolitical event since fall of the Iron Curtain. Any war is a humanitarian crisis but it's investment implications cannot be ignored.

Investment teams at RIAs are in the midst of watching their client portfolios with a fine-tooth comb and will ultimately, will have to readjust investment positions with their clients' interest in mind. With these concerns still developing and evolving by the minute, we at the RIA Institute have to ask: does opportunity for growth lie within these adversities? 

The RIA Institute invite you to join them and other like-minded RIAs in a safe, socially distanced setting for a candid discussion on these and other relevant topics at our RIA Institute's East Coast Seminar on Thursday, May 26th at the Park Hyatt Washington, D.C.
