Townsend Spring 2022 Newsletter
Our 2022 Spring Edition has lots of great takeaways for you. With the ongoing war in Ukraine, many are questioning inflation, interest rates and a possible recession – Jeff shares his take on this and how we need to refocus on being energy independent. If the stock market volatility remains elevated, you may want to be prepared for further market declines. In this commentary Jeff shares where we are at with trades and managing portfolios, providing insight on what the planning team is doing to best support our positioning.
Our Newsworthy section is always fun to skim especially if you are driven by statistical number driven data. Anyone go to the grocery store and your favorite items are wiped clean off the shelves (sometimes for weeks!)? And when you do happen to get lucky, the price has skyrocketed – it’s because food prices internationally has increased 19.6% since last year! Wondering how employment is going for small businesses? Or the percentage that did not pay any federal income taxes – be sure to check out page 2.
In the estate planning process, many people don’t know how to integrate their charitable wishes in their plan; therefore, Legacy Planner, Sallie Diamond shares how giving can be incorporated and the variety of options available. The focus of this article is on only two of the methods: leaving a bequest in your will or revocable trust and the establishment of a Donor Advised Fund as a beneficiary of your estate. This is a great article to sit with – especially if you are looking to benefit a specific charity.
Our late spring/early summer events are listed in addition to sharing three new faces on the Townsend team. Outside of growing the Townsend client community, we are also excited to be growing our staff in hopes to continue providing you a wonderful experience.
Finally, those looking for new adventures can check out Cayle’s Connections. From ZipLine tours to a Lavender farm, there is something for everyone to try in this section. We encourage you to give some of these a whirl and let us know what you think OR if you’ve recently been somewhere unique and special, we’d love to hear from you! Email us!
We hope you enjoy this spring newsletter and that your days are filled with all the activities you love during this season!
