Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 1 (Part 1 of 2 Market Update): 2026 Outlook with Liz Thomas (SoFi)
Q: What indicators should advisors watch in 2026 to gauge the market and manage client expectations?
Watch yields and the relationship between the 10-year Treasury and mortgage rates, monitor labor market signals including construction employment as a leading indicator, and assess earnings growth by sector beyond Tech to see if other areas begin to lead.
Episode 1 (Part 1 of 2 Market Update): 2026 Outlook with Liz Thomas (SoFi)
Q: Let's start with your base case for 2026 in three bullets; growth, inflation, rates, and a swing factor.
The base case is interconnected across growth, inflation, and rates; growth has been positive and resilient, inflation expectations remain anchored though short-term readings can be volatile, and the Fed's trajectory will depend greatly on the labor market and data revisions, with a swing factor being geopolitical risk and potential shocks that could alter policy paths.
Episode 1 (Part 1 of 2 Market Update): 2026 Outlook with Liz Thomas (SoFi)
Q: What was the most influential person early in your career?
A mentor who hired me when I was green, showed me how to connect analytical work with client presentations, encouraged me to learn the CFA program, and ultimately changed the trajectory of my life.
Opportunities and Obstacles for a Successful Retirement
Q: What role can various centers of influence play in aiding financial advisors?
Expanding the rolodex to include elder care professionals and other related experts is critical for helping advisors provide comprehensive support to clients facing caregiving decisions.
