A new year and a fresh start.  The flip of the calendar is sometimes what we all need to reset. 

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

We are feeling energized after a little time off with our friends and family.  We hope you also had a restful break over the holidays and hope 2025 is full of great new memories to come.

We share an article discussing strategies to minimize the impact of Black Swans. Rather than chasing improbable predictions, the focus should be on discipline and solid long-term plan. That way, unexpected shocks can be mitigated and have a more resilient portfolio.
