📈Our annual Market Outlook seminars are always a highlight of January, and this year was no exception! ❄️Although snow and ice forced us to reschedule four of our five events, we were grateful to welcome hundreds of clients and community members who joined us to learn about the markets, financial planning insights, and the year ahead.
Following a series of travel delays, we were also pleased to virtually recognize Hugh Lantz, Executive Vice President and Financial Advisor, as he prepares for his retirement later this year. 🎉👏
If you were unable to attend and would like additional information from the presentation—or if you would like to be added to our mailing list for future events—please contact our office at 540.236.9220 or email vawealth@janney.com.
