Financial Planning During COVID-19

March 17, 2020: Acumen's Financial Planning Market Opportunities
Acumen's Portfolio Management Committee (PMC) has been conferring daily amidst this market volatility and have made adjustments to allocations when observations evolve into convictions. One topic the PMC is addressing during these daily conversations is regarding when to buy into the market. Acumen's PMC recognizes the potential for opportunity during market corrections and is diligently monitoring for what we believe to be undervalued equities.  http://bit.ly/2UkcNiP

March 9, 2020: Acumen's Coronavirus Update
The market has recently realized extreme volatility. This began with the spreading of COVID-19 from China to countries such as Italy and Iran. The US then began seeing cases of the virus come forward. The result was a -12% decline in the S&P 500 over a two-week period. This decline was followed by the breakdown of OPEC+ discussions over the weekend.  http://bit.ly/2IACdmV

Global markets have recently been rocked by fears of the Coronavirus outbreak.

Per the MSCI ALL Cap World Index, markets fell more than 12% at the beginning of the epidemic, and later returned 64% through the end of the year. http://bit.ly/2SjJPi6
