Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) Explained | Align Your Money & Values.

What is Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), and how can you ensure your portfolio aligns with your personal values and professional restrictions? In this video, Adam Way, CFP®, AEP®, ChFC®, AIF®, AIFA®, CLU®, CLTC®, from Global Wealth Strategies & Associates (GWS&A) breaks down how we customize portfolios based on your unique preferences.

Whether you want to avoid investing in for-profit prisons and companies that test on animals, or you need to navigate strict corporate trade restrictions at your Fortune 500 job, we have the advanced technology to filter out what you don't want and focus on what you do. Learn how personalized portfolio overlays can help you manage risk, avoid wash sales, and invest ethically.

Key Takeaways

⦿ Advanced Tech Integration: GWS&A utilizes advanced software to create custom "overlays" that filter your portfolio to match your specific criteria.

⦿ Corporate Trade Restrictions: If you work for a major publicly traded company, you can restrict investments in your own employer or competitors (like Apple or Microsoft) to comply with employment agreements.

⦿ Risk Mitigation: Avoiding specific stocks helps prevent concentrated position risk and eliminates unintended wash sale issues when managing your portfolio.

When to Hold and When to Fold: Stock Market Volatility Explained

Stock Market Volatility:
Does stock market volatility have you second-guessing your investments?

In this video, Adam Way, CFP®, AEP®, ChFC®, AIF®, AIFA®, CLU®, CLTC®, of Global Wealth Strategies and Associates (GWS&A) breaks down the critical difference between normal market fluctuations and the real red flags that should make you re-evaluate your portfolio. Stop letting market anxiety dictate your financial future!

📉 Normal stock portfolios often experience an intra-year decline of 10 to 15 percent, which is just standard volatility.

📈 It is not uncommon for a year with steep intra-year declines to still finish with a positive 20 percent return.

🗓️ We encourage investors to view their stock market exposure as at least an 18-month commitment.

🧘 The most successful investors focus on long-term strategies rather than checking their daily account balances.

⚠️ Holding onto a single failing stock—such as a highly controversial company that drops 99 percent—is a scenario where true concern is justified.

🧺 Reallocating remaining funds from a sinking singular stock into a diversified portfolio is generally a much safer strategy for financial recovery.
