Retirement income planning is about more than knowing how much you have saved. Understanding where your income will come from, how it will be taxed, and how to structure withdrawals across multiple account types are decisions that can have a meaningful impact on both your tax burden and how long your assets last throughout retirement.

If you are nearing retirement age and have questions about how to structure your income strategy, our team is here to help work through it.

The chart shown highlights the deepening underperformance of consumer stocks against a resilient broader market. The equal-weighted U.S. consumer discretionary index relative to the S&P 500 has collapsed 42% since 2021, falling to 0.07 and breaking below both the 2020 and 2008 lows. Over that same period, the S&P 500 is up 60% while the equal-weighted consumer discretionary index gained just 6%.

U.S. Consumer Sentiment fell to an all-time low of 44.8 in May, yet the S&P 500 is up 17% since March 30th. With discretionary stocks at a 20-year relative low, sentiment at an all-time low, and the ratio breaking below crisis-era floors, the data points to a consumer under genuine stress. The question is whether this is a leading indicator for broader market weakness or simply a reflection of a bifurcated economy where high-income households drive equity gains while lower-income consumers retrench.

Recent updates under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act have expanded the flexibility and potential uses of 529 plans, reflecting the evolving ways families approach education and long‑term learning. These changes may influence how education savings are structured, funded, and used over time, making it worthwhile to revisit existing plans and assumptions.

If you have questions about how these updates may apply to your family’s education strategy or want to understand how your current 529 plan fits into your broader financial picture, please reach out to our team at fgwp.com/contact/.

As we move into the second quarter of 2026, the market has largely come full circle. The Iran conflict temporarily flipped the script on oil, rates, and the dollar, but as the ceasefire took hold, the dynamics we identified heading into 2026 have reasserted themselves. The physical economy is winning, earnings remain strong, and dispersion has created a stock picker's market unlike anything we've seen in years.

Key Themes We Expore in this Market Outlook:

- The Rotation is Real
- AI Infrastructure Over Software
- The Fed Is Back to Being a Tailwind
- The Earnings Picture Doesn't Support a Recession Narrative

For many business owners, the company they have built represents far more than a source of income. It is years of sacrifice, vision, and in many cases, the largest asset on their balance sheet. Yet despite all of that, exit planning can be one of the most commonly overlooked pieces of a long-term financial strategy.

Our latest blog walks through the questions every founder should be sitting with, from understanding what your business is actually worth on the market, to how a liquidity event can intersect with your estate plan, tax strategy, and retirement picture. We also address how a founder's personal readiness to transition may be just as consequential as the financial mechanics themselves.

Whether to pay down debt or keep investing is a question that comes up often, and for those with more complex financial lives, the answer is rarely straightforward.
