Waddell & Reed Announcement (1/19/2021)
LPL Financial Holdings Inc. and Macquarie Management Holdings, Inc. announced the signing of an agreement to jointly acquire Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. Because we are independent financial advisors, this means that very little if anything will change for our clients. Click "Learn More" below to read the full announcement.
Back in 2017, I named my company the Montane Group after the mountains that surround us here in the Pacific Northwest. I believe mountains are a perfect metaphor for what my professional goals were in starting this business. They are a part of the earth that reaches for the sky, but first and foremost, they are rock solid and enduring. I started this company to help people, first with the goal of helping them establish a solid, grounded financial foundation for security, and then helping them build upon that.
You’ll hear me say it over and over again, “to me, this is personal.” The name Montane is like a personal mission to help my clients move from financial uncertainty into financial security, and further beyond that, into financial empowerment. Your financial wellbeing and goals are always my highest priority.
As always, I am here to talk through any concerns you might have.
Sincerely,
Steve
The GameStop Scandal
American financial markets have been gripped by the saga of a video game retailer’s soaring stock price. The history making drama around GameStop’s trading, which some have described as a modern day Philosopher's Stone, will have lasting impact on Wall Street and investment strategies, and may result in more regulation of the stock market.
We've compiled some articles to give you some perspective as the situation continues to unfold and shake up global financial markets.
