Welcome Claire Cantrell to Range as an Account Executive! Claire's path to Range wasn't conventional. She spent her early career as an educator, teaching students in Virginia before taking her skills internationally to Spain and Singapore. Those years in the classroom honed her ability to communicate complex concepts with clarity – a skill that would prove invaluable in her next chapter. Five years ago, Claire made a pivot into technology sales, most recently at a company focused on improving employee financial wellbeing. This experience gave her insight into the challenges faced by busy professionals trying to navigate their financial futures. What drew Claire to Range? "I enjoy working at fast-paced startups where I am surrounded by highly motivated people," she explains.

Her self-described superpower is "bringing out the best in others" – a perfect fit for our client-centered approach. Building relationships isn't just a professional skill for Claire; it's a personal value that guides her work. When not helping clients optimize their financial strategies, Claire can be found on horseback in far-flung destinations. One of her most memorable adventures? Galloping beside the ancient pyramids in Egypt. Range continues to build a team of exceptional talent who bring diverse perspectives to wealth management. Claire's background in education, technology sales, and financial wellbeing adds another valuable dimension to our capabilities. #WealthManagement #FinTech #TeamRange #FinancialPlanning

Recession? The warning lights aren't flashing just yet. The markets have been jittery since Trump's tariff announcement, but beneath the headlines, our most reliable economic fortune tellers—credit markets—aren't sounding alarm bells. Investment-grade credit spreads remain stable, and high-yield spreads haven't yet crossed into danger territory. This volatility feels different because it's self-inflicted. We're watching policy-driven market reactions rather than fundamental economic breakdown. Both the administration and Fed have their hands on the controls and can ease up if conditions deteriorate—built-in circuit breakers that don't exist with external shocks. Investors should still prepare for potential market weakness. History shows nearly half of all bear markets occurred without economic recessions, and we haven't reached "full capitulation" where valuations become irresistibly attractive. For your portfolio, what should you focus on? Comment "insights" below and we'll share our full analysis of tariff shocks and what it all means for your money. #MarketOutlook #InvestmentStrategy #PortfolioDiversification

Market drawdowns happen throughout history and will continue. During periods of uncertainty, focus on what you control: -Maintain appropriate asset allocation based on time horizon and risk tolerance -Minimize investment costs and tax impacts -Make consistent contributions to investment accounts -Rebalance periodically to maintain target allocation Remember: markets have always recovered, though timing is unpredictable. Maintaining perspective helps avoid emotional decisions that might cause you to miss the eventual recovery.

Trump's new tariffs: Markets finally get it's not a bluff. Markets are increasingly buying into how serious this administration is with tariffs. Yesterday was clear - they're not backing down. Does the administration care about stock markets? Not their priority right now. What's interesting: • Bond markets are up • 10-year yields (driving mortgage rates) are down • Administration feels emboldened by their election mandate • US economy is relatively healthy compared to global peers It's a classic prisoner's dilemma. Our trading partners have much more to lose than we do, but cooperation is essential. Without it, market turbulence continues.

Wednesday's tariff update sent shockwaves through the global markets. Let's break down what this means: What was announced: * Minimum 10% base level tariff announced for every country * Higher tariff rates for certain nations based on reciprocity * Door left open for relief to countries willing to negotiate What this means for the market: * Potential for increased consumer prices across sectors * Supply chain disruptions as companies adjust sourcing * Market volatility as investors price in economic impact This appears to be a negotiation tactic rather than a final position. The administration is essentially saying "this is our starting point" while signaling willingness to walk back tariffs if countries make certain concessions. The critical variable? Whether other nations retaliate, which could escalate trade tensions further and potentially trigger broader market reactions.

Trump's new tariffs rocked the market. A 10% baseline on ALL imports with rates up to 60%+ for some countries? Wall Street wasn't prepared for this scale. As President Trump announced this wave of new tariffs taking average levies to their highest in more than a century, investors saw very little to celebrate. These new import taxes, explicitly designed to "redraw the global order," represent an historic shock to the world economy that will shake both US allies and rivals like China. Let's break down what happened and how to think about it: What actually happened yesterday: - A minimum 10% baseline tariff on ALL imports takes effect this Saturday - Additional "reciprocal" tariffs go into place April 9 - Rates much higher for some countries based on what they charge us - China faces a 67% rate, EU 20%, and some as high as 90%+ Market reaction: - Markets were looking for clarity but didn't get it - We're in a global game of "chicken" with little visibility into what the trading landscape will look like - The administration went big and is taking an incredibly tough stance Key insights our team is watching: 1. This is a deliberate shock, not an accident - Unlike market disruptions like the 2008 financial crisis, this one is wholly intentional - The administration feels it has a mandate and a strong US economy gives them leverage 2. Economic impact could be substantial - Economists estimate these tariffs would raise about $400 billion in revenue annually (1.3% of GDP) - The result would be a hit to purchasing power and contraction in real disposable personal income 3. Your diversified portfolio is working - Portfolios with exposure to bonds and international equities are significantly outperforming the S&P 500 right now 4. The Fed is watching closely - The Fed views pricing impacts from tariffs as transitory and is focused on growth - They have capacity to stimulate the economy if needed So what should you do?
