Resources: 2023 Market Review & 2024 Annual Limits
Welcome to 2024!
Economic resilience in the US and elsewhere is helping boost the global outlook for 2024, but as investors learned last year, the only thing certain is that there will be plenty of uncertainties. There will also be times when many predict market declines with no shortage of compelling arguments for why you should heed these warnings. Doing so in 2023 would likely have done far more harm than good. If we stay focused on our long-term goals and the fact that our financial plan can account for the ups and downs, we will inevitably see in markets, we can be better prepared to tune out the noise in the short term (and maybe experience less stress about our portfolios along the way). Those who held that philosophy throughout 2023 were likely rewarded. We think that approach is just as important in 2024 and the future.
