Jay Pluimer, Director of Investments, shares his insights on the market to date this year as well as expectations for the next few months.
In firm news, I am excited to announce that Flourish Wealth Management has been named one of the best Financial Advisors in Minneapolis of 2023 by Expertise.com, one of the best Financial Advisory Firms of 2023 by USA Today, AND I was the only financial advisor in Minnesota to be named among the top 100 most influential financial advisors of 2023 by Investopedia!
