    Video Discussion: Staying Focused in 2025’s Dynamic Market

    The first half of 2025 has included significant market volatility, especially around early April. Now, as Q2 comes to an end and markets have evened out some, the JNBA Financial Advisors Investment Committee analyzes the historic ups and downs in a video discussion recorded on July 14, 2025. The conversation between JNBA Chairman and CEO Richard S. Brown, Senior Advisor – Investment Strategist Michael Bilotta, ChFC®, CASL®, RICP®, and Investment Strategist Mark Rosenkranz, CFA® covers the unpredictability faced over the last six months and provides perspective on what that could mean for investors as we look ahead. They also share insights into keeping portfolios positioned to achieve long term goals by managing a disciplined process, such as JNBA’s review of portfolios every 10 business days to help avoid emotional, short-term trading decisions that may cause investors to miss key market recovery days.

    Halfway through 2024: Investment Committee Commentary

    As we enter the second half of this calendar year and approach the 2024 presidential election, what have we seen, and where are we headed? In our 15-minute video podcast featuring JNBA Financial Advisors President Kim Brown with John Foster and Mark Rosenkranz, both Investment Strategists and members of the JNBA Investment Committee, the team provides insights into considerations that have affected markets this year including unemployment, inflation, and corporate earnings. Having observed and enjoyed continued market growth in Q2 of 2024, history points to increased market volatility as autumn and the election approach.
