November 25, 2020

What a strange year it has been. . . . Thankfully 2020 is almost in the history books. Despite the Global Covid Crisis, a nationwide economic shutdown, a heated and highly contested election, social and racial divide, historical storms, fires and floods; the financial markets continued to roar in 2020. I am sure going forward, the markets will continue to be preoccupied by the virus, the transition of power in Washington, and the economy - we will continue to focus on building your long-term wealth.

Speaking of the election, the problem with an election cycle is that we are bombarded 24-7 with the candidates and news stations telling us that we are no longer a great and united nation and as a country we are headed in the wrong direction.  Although, we are not in perfect union and certainly have room for improvement, we are still the greatest and longest running democracy in the world.  We enjoy freedoms and opportunities of which others around the globe cannot even dream.

Therefore, as the holiday season quickly approaches, we encourage you to take a moment to pause and reflect on all the truly wonderful things for which each of us is thankful.  Markets will continue to rise and fall, but the important things in our lives stay constant.  We, at ClearBridge Wealth Management, are thankful for you and your family! In this spirit, we have made a contribution from the ClearBridge Foundation, benefitting the following charities on your behalf:

Camp Sunshine

Make a Wish Foundation

The Wounded Warrior Project

As always, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with you.  We wish you and your family the very best this holiday season and in the coming New Year.
