We start with a detailed breakdown of the Henssler Ten Year Rule, explaining how it allows investors to weather downturns without selling equities. Then, we break down the latest market volatility, how inflation uncertainty is affecting the Producer Price Index and consumer Sentiment, and the Federal Reserve’s decision to maintain monetary policy.

In light of the recent volatility, we address the importance of diversification—across sectors, market capitalizations, domestic and international investments, and even tax structures—to help smooth volatility risk. After the break, we examine the impact of increasing longevity on financial planning, including the possibility that someday retirees may still have parents and even grandparents in retirement, reshaping how wealth transfers across generations.

Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
