Episode 147: Market Update, Government Shut-Downs, and The Importance of Rebalancing Your Portfolio with Brad Haines


Wednesday December 18th was a rough day in the financial markets...what happened, and is it something we need to be concerned about in 2025?

Next, what typically happens in the financial markets when the government shuts down? Will there be lasting impact? And finally, how often does your portfolio get rebalanced? Do you have to ask your advisor to rebalance your portfolio, or do they do it once per year? How does Juncture Wealth handle portfolio rebalancing differently?

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP, APMA, CRPC, joins Brad Haines, CFA, FRM, and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Juncture Wealth Strategies to discuss the current state of the financial markets, the impact of political changes, and the importance of rebalancing your portfolio when it makes sense for you and not when your advisor schedules a meeting with you on a calendar basis!
