- Deepens relationships: Reminds clients and prospects they don’t have to navigate financial decisions alone.
- Positions the advisor as calm in the chaos: When others are reacting, this message helps the advisor lead with reason and poise.
Content Takeaways:
- All-time highs aren’t rare: Since 1950, there have been over 1,250 market highs—about 16 per year.
- Returns after highs hold up: Even when investing at a high, long-term returns have remained strong and only slightly below average.
- Market drops after highs are uncommon: Only 9% of the time did the market drop 10%+ in the year following an all-time high.
- Long-term outlooks win: Over 10 years, the market has not ended more than 10% down after a record high.
