How you approach your financial and retirement goals can vary vastly by age. Your strategies should be based on your life stage to manage your finances effectively. In part one of our Generational Strategies series, we highlight Baby Boomers. These individuals are well into their retirement planning and primarily focus on wealth preservation.

Stocks had a successful first half of the year. However, as Chris Montoya mentions in prior updates, much of the money is being made by a handful of tech companies. This narrow market leadership leads us to believe that investors are no longer worried about inflation and are more concerned with overall economic strength. At First Financial Trust, we recognize many investment opportunities beyond the top-performing tech companies and are staying alert for bargain opportunities.

May was a good month for stocks. However, Chris Montoya urges that we look closely at the data. Excitement around AI means that six of the top tech stocks account for more than two-thirds of the return. At First Financial Trust, we remain optimistic and have skewed our portfolios defensively to better handle expected interest rate cuts.
