Interesting fact: There are now nearly 3x as many stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as there are listed American companies! Some eye-opening stats from a 2024 study by the MSCI World Index, which tracks financial markets throughout the world: ?? 70% of global stock market value comes from US markets ?? All 10 of the world's most valuable companies are US-based ?? Yet less than 10% of listed companies worldwide are American (down from ~20% in the late 1990s) This shift reflects a changing landscape: ?? Fewer but larger US companies are dominating the markets ?? There's a rise of ETFs ?? Merger and acquisition activity has reduced the number of public companies Here’s a couple of things for investors to keep in mind: ?? Mutual funds and ETFs can play a role in a portfolio. ?? U.S. financial markets have a great amount of influence throughout the world. ?? Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds are sold only by prospectus. Please consider the charges, risks, expenses, and investment objectives carefully before investing. A prospectus containing this and other information about the investment company can be obtained from your financial professional. Read it carefully before you invest or send money.

Imagine this: you mail a check to one of your accounts only to discover later it's been stolen, altered, and deposited into something you don't recognize. Mail theft is more common than you might think. It has steadily risen nationwide, with cases surging by 400% since 2019. Check out this real-life example: A recent incident involved an individual mailing a check for estimated taxes to the IRS. Unfortunately, the check was intercepted during mailing. The thieves then cleverly altered the check, making it payable to two individuals. The fraudulent check was deposited into separate accounts under the thieves' names. Thankfully, the bank eventually resolved the issue, but the experience serves as a stark reminder: fraudsters are constantly innovating, and mail remains a target. Here are some steps to consider: ?? Go digital: Many institutions, including the IRS, offer online payment options. Switching to electronic payments eliminates the risk of mail theft. ?? Shred sensitive documents: Don't toss out old bank statements or credit card offers. Take the time to shred anything that relates to your personal finances. ?? Monitor, monitor, monitor: Review bank and credit card statements regularly. If you notice something unusual, report it immediately. Don’t think that fraud can just occur online. Take steps to help protect yourself both off and online! #Fraud #Mail #Protection
