September/October 2026

Building a Bond Fund Ladder

Bonds can diversify* your portfolio and provide steady income. To add stability, consider a bond fund ladder, an investment strategy that allocates funds across multiple bond funds with different maturities. This approach lets you benefit from changing interest rates over time, reducing interest rate risk and boosting income potential.

Who Wants Life Insurance

September is National Life Insurance Awareness Month, so there's no better time to explore insurance options or review your current coverage.

Home Equity as a Strategic Planning Tool

Instead of treating home equity as something that matters only at sale or at death, some investors are exploring ways to unlock just enough value to give their retirement strategy more flexibility and resilience.

Tax Strategies For Self-Employed Business Owners

Just as larger corporations do, self-employed business owners, freelancers, and gig workers need to engage in strategic tax planning to minimize liability and maximize savings.

Protecting Fido, Too

Many pet owners overlook the financial risks associated with pets. Pets, like humans, can face unexpected illnesses or accidents that require costly veterinary care.

Life Insurance: You Have Options

Life insurance* proceeds can provide a financial lifeline for loved ones if something happens to you. The type of policy you choose may depend on how long you'll need coverage and the policy's cost.

Understanding Beneficiary Designations

Your will is an important document for passing assets to loved ones upon your death, but it doesn't cover everything. Life insurance proceeds, retirement accounts, annuities and similar accounts pass through beneficiary designations and are not governed by your will.

Adopt Healthy Money Habits

If your family saved responsibly for the things they wanted to buy, chances are you will, too. But if your family squandered money and never saved, their bad money habits may be influencing how you handle your finances. Make sure you're practicing good money habits like the ones below.

By The Numbers: AI & Emerging Threats

While Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a useful tool for individuals and businesses, it has also introduced more cybersecurity threats and attacks, according to the CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report. Review the numbers and assess your AI security.

Timeless Investing Strategies for Any Market

It may be hard not to throw in the towel when the markets aren't performing well. And it's just as hard to imagine the markets will ever lose value when stock prices soar. But because no one controls market behavior, you'll want to devise a plan to stay invested no matter what the markets do.

Easing Your Money Fears

Whether you're retired or just thinking about it, feeling as if you have no control over future events can cause stress that affects your well-being. Developing a strategy with the help of your financial professional to address your concerns can help mitigate your fears.

Wealth Preservation with an FLP

A family limited partnership (FLP) is a business or holding company owned by two or more family members. It is designed to preserve a family's wealth and pass it from one generation to the next while reducing or eliminating gift and estate taxes. Assets held in the FLP also receive some protection from creditors and lawsuits.

As Live Evolves, Your Insurance Should Too

September has traditionally been designated as life insurance month to remind you to review any changes in your personal circumstances that might affect your life insurance* needs. Here are several events that could prompt a reassessment.

Solving a Liquidity Crunch

An unexpected opportunity, sudden expense, or market downturn may cause a liquidity crunch. Regardless of the cause, there are smart strategies you and your professional can use to stay flexible without sacrificing long-term investments.

Signs You May Need a Postnup

You're familiar with prenuptial agreements. But what if you don't have one, and your circumstances change? A postnuptial may be in order. Here are signs you might need one.

Tailored Insurance Solutions

Protecting luxury homes, fine art, collectibles, and high-value vehicles calls for specialized insurance. Standard homeowners, auto, and umbrella policies often fall short. How do others protect their unique assets? Many rely on a multi-layered approach, which may include:

Choosing a Trustee For a Child's Trust

Naming your spouse as trustee provides essential familial insight and continuity, but you must carefully balance these advantages against possible risks. Consider these questions. How well do you and your spouse communicate about finances?

Cash Out or Keep Assets?

Retirement is a time to kick back and enjoy life. Years of hard work have likely left you with a diverse array of assets, from appreciated stocks and real estate to luxury items like RVs and sports cars. Before selling assets to fund your bucket-list dreams, consider both the financial and emotional implications.

Aging Well

Upper income individuals have a clear advantage on key factors associated with aging well.

Where Do You Fall?

September is National Life Insurance Awareness Month. To "celebrate," we're reviewing the latest Insurance Barometer Study* by the Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association (LIMRA) and Life Happens, a nonprofit that provides a wide range of consumereducation information. Among other topics, the study examines who owns and who doesn't own life insurance.
