As we have information to share regarding our team and the markets, in addition to news and updates from Wells Fargo Advisors and the Investment Institute, we will gather those materials here for you to review.

The 2022 story for investors has centered on inflation and interest rates. Inflation because it’s been running higher than it has in decades. Interest rates because the Federal Reserve is aggressively raising them to counter inflation. But will it be too aggressive and drive the economy into recession?

Given the current uncertainties, Wells Fargo Investment Institute believes investors should focus on being neither an optimist nor pessimist, but a realist. You can find out what that means and get details on how Wells Fargo Investment Institute believes the rest of the year will unfold for equities, fixed income, and real assets, in its 2022 Midyear Outlook: Faster, Further, and Fragile.

How to use Account Aggregator 

Whether your children or grandchildren are toddlers or teenagers, it’s only a matter of a time before they leave the family home, probably as they head off to college. The cost of sending just one child to college for four years can be staggering, and tuition and fee hikes regularly outpace inflation. Rather than sending your children or grandchildren into the world with the burden of student-loan debt, you can save to help cover at least a portion, if not all, of their higher-education expenses.

Fortunately, those who intend to cover or contribute to their children’s education costs have more choices today than they’ve ever had. If you’ve not yet looked into an education savings plan, we can help you choose among a variety of savings vehicles, including 529 plans, Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), and custodial accounts.
