Hello, Summer! We hope you enjoyed a happy Independence Day with loved ones. In this Quarterly Newsletter, I am sharing an article that may be a helpful resource for you or someone in your life who may be experiencing financial stress and could use some advice on how to manage it. 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! We are honored to have been chosen for these recognitions and look forward to continuing to serve our clients by aligning the critical components of personal and financial wealth so that our clients can enjoy a greater sense of confidence in their ability to achieve their highest aspirations.
