Many investors may be tempted to react in the wake of both the Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank’s financial troubles.

However, I want to reassure you that as events unfold, I will maintain a watchful eye.
Remember, Wall Street and the media have a limited attention span regarding unusual economic events.
That’s why we crafted your investment strategy to reflect your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance, regardless of what the markets do daily.
