More than $51 trillion is expected to transfer to women as surviving spouses over the next two decades.

That shift will place more women in charge of decisions involving taxes, retirement accounts, and the future of family wealth.

This webinar explores strategies that may help women prepare for those responsibilities with greater knowledge and intention.

Watch to understand the tax decisions that may shape how this next generation of wealth is managed and transferred:

Over the next two decades, more than $51 trillion is expected to transfer to women as surviving spouses, making this one of the most significant wealth

Choosing life insurance can get complicated quickly.

The coverage you choose should reflect your family’s financial needs, your circumstances, and what may change over time.

This resource walks through questions to consider when evaluating a policy and when it may be time to review your coverage:

Your plan shouldn't look the same when you’re 55 as it did when you were 35, and part of that is because you have ever-changing goals. So how do you know when it’s time to adjust your financial plan?

The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged and struck a more dovish tone.

The bond market told a different story.

Short-term yields fell, while longer-term yields surged and the 30-year Treasury reached its highest level since 2007. That split may reflect concerns about inflation now and the possibility of a tougher Fed response later.

See why the bond market may be challenging the Fed’s message:

If nothing else, markets kept us entertained last week. The S&P 500 was higher four out of five days, but the down day was big as markets tested

Trying to understand the difference between a Trump Account and a 529 plan? They might sound alike, but they’re meant for different goals.

A 529 is focused on education. A Trump Account lets families begin investing for a child early, and once the child reaches adulthood, it becomes a retirement account.

See what sets the two apart and how each may fit into a longer-term savings plan:

You’ve probably heard of Trump Accounts—the new tax-advantaged savings and investment tool for minors. Established under Section 530A of the tax code,

Life insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Each type works a little differently.

Some provide straightforward coverage. Others may include cash value, added flexibility, or benefits tied to needs such as long-term care.

Once you understand what each type does, it’s easier to figure out which may be right for you. Your goals, budget, and when you need it also matter when discussing coverage with a financial professional.

See how the main types differ and what each is designed to do:

There are so many different types of life insurance: term life, universal life, whole life, even hybrid life insurance policies. We can help you decide which life insurance policy is right for you.

Higher interest rates can’t produce more oil, computer chips, or shipping capacity. So why would the Federal Reserve consider raising them?

The concern is what happens after a supply shock. Higher costs can spread into transportation, food, services, and wages, especially when demand remains strong.

See why the Fed may act even when it can’t fix the original shortage, and what that could mean for markets:

The S&P 500 fell last week, with technology leading the way lower, as the Middle East conflict flared back up, oil jumped, and Treasury yields pushed

When people start thinking about retirement, one question usually comes first: Have I saved enough?

But it’s rarely the only question that matters.

Taxes, long-term care, estate planning, and replacing a paycheck for decades can all shape what retirement actually looks like.

Take a closer look at the planning areas that are easy to miss:

Becoming hyper-focused on only one aspect of a project is rarely a good approach. A racecar driver who only focuses on speed and ignores strategy likely

Markets faced plenty of turbulence in the first half of 2026, from an oil spike and geopolitical conflict to persistent inflation and sharp swings in stocks.

Still, earnings expectations climbed, AI investment accelerated, and the S&P 500 finished the first six months up 10.2%.

The 2026 Midyear Outlook looks at what may keep supporting markets and what could interrupt the ride.

Yes, the S&P 500 was down last week, falling 1.5%, but as we’ve been talking about throughout the year, this has been the year of diversification.

Required minimum distributions can look simple on paper.

Then the questions start. Which accounts require one? Can withdrawals be combined? What happens if you’re still working or inherited the account?

Get the basics before those decisions land on your calendar:

Understand required minimum distributions (RMDs). What is the RMD for IRAs? What is the RMD for Roth IRAs? And What is the RMD for 401(k)s?

A longer retirement means more years to enjoy life, but it can also bring more years of expenses, healthcare costs, and taxes to plan for.

For many women, that planning window may stretch even further, especially if they outlive a spouse and later have to manage retirement income and financial decisions on their own.

Longevity, retirement income, and taxes all belong in the same conversation.

See what may need more attention over a longer retirement:

Imagine planning for decades to help secure your financial future, only to watch a substantial portion of your savings disappear to unexpected taxes after
