“Black Swan” Advice

COVID-19 reminded us that life-changing “Black Swan” events don’t just happen once in a century. They are an ongoing reality. 

In the last twenty years, we have lived through 9/11, the global financial crisis, and now a global pandemic with the unintended consequence of rolling economic lockdowns. 

On an investment level, all of these events have delivered a sharp hit to financial markets from which they have recovered. Such is the resilience and strength of the U.S. capital markets and the underlying economy. 

But on a personal finance level, the impact of these events can be much more damaging and long-lasting, particularly for individuals nearing retirement or in it, 

which is why we asked this week’s guest to join us. Clients in those vulnerable years are his focus. 

Our guest this week is Mark Cortazzo, a certified financial planner, Founder, and Senior Partner of MACRO Consulting Group an independent wealth management firm.

We asked Cortazzo to walk us through the conversations he has been having with clients about preparing for these “Black Swan” events.
