It was a strong week for the markets, with the S&P 500 posting solid gains, driven by upbeat economic data and a newly announced trade deal between the U.S. and the U.K. The April jobs report surpassed expectations, with steady unemployment, while the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, citing caution amid shifting global conditions. 

We also dive into what it really means to work with a financial adviser—K.C. likens it to a financial root canal, digging into every aspect of your financial life to build a customized plan. 

Plus, if you’re rolling over a 401(k), should you reinvest all at once or ease in with dollar-cost averaging? We break down the pros, cons, and emotions behind each strategy. 

And finally, fintech firms are offering flashy high-yield savings accounts—but are they too good to be true? We explore what’s real, what’s risky, and the questions you should ask before chasing higher returns. 

Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
