Welcome to this Three Minute Trend Talk™ for Wednesday, October 25, 2023. I’m Mark Scheffler, Senior Vice President and Senior Wealth Advisor for Johnson Financial Group.

Just a quick check-in today to let you know that our flexible and hybrid strategies are currently invested far, far away from our targets, and that’s on purpose. And although we’d prefer to be invested in our targeted assets, there’s a great reason not to be, and it’s simple: the current market environment just isn’t favorable for most of them.

Mark Scheffler, AIF® SVP - Senior Wealth Advisor hosts this Three Minute Trend Talk™, highlighting current investment and economic issues, clearTREND® recommendations for the positions used in all managed portfolios, global investment trends, and more (select 1080p HD for best resolution, 720p HD for slower connections). Investing involves risk. Past performance isn’t a guarantee of future returns. Nothing in our commentary constitutes investment advice tailored to any specific person. Information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy of the information cannot be guaranteed.
