THE SOURCE TO READ
Oil price on track for longest losing streak in more than 12 months
The most useful response to a market headline starts with your exposure, your time horizon and the job each asset performs. A price move is information; it is not, by itself, a reason to trade.
Discussion priority
Clarify the decision, time horizon and constraints.
Questions to explore
What percentage of my wealth depends on the same company, industry or economic outcome?
Which spending needs must be funded without relying on favorable market prices?
How does the proposed allocation behave in a recession, an inflation shock and a recovery?
What are the all-in fees, tax consequences and implementation costs?
Bring to the conversation
List accounts and approximate allocations.
Identify overlapping funds and employer-stock exposure.
Document near-term withdrawals and known tax payments.
Write down your rebalancing policy and the next review date.
An educational agenda. Review source material and adapt to the client’s circumstances. Professionals should follow their own compliance and recordkeeping procedures before sharing.
