Global headlines can make investors uneasy, especially when conflict erupts overseas and markets react in real time. In this episode, Laurel Steward and Gerald Green of Mattson Financial Services break down what rising tensions in the Middle East could mean for the markets in the short term, and more importantly, what it doesn’t mean for your long-term retirement plan.

We also tackle a big debate happening on Wall Street right now: Is the classic 60/40 portfolio outdated?

If you’re wondering how to protect your portfolio from uncertainty without sacrificing the returns needed to fund retirement, this episode will help you cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters. Still have concerns? Connect for a chat at www.MattsonFinancial.com.
