Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Intel report better-than-expected results. The Fed raises interest rates 25 basis points. Is investing in AI a drag on earnings? Annex Wealth Management’s Derek Felske is here to discuss.

With today’s technology, it’s gotten easier and easier to create a will, whether on your own or with a third party. However, less than half of U.S. adults do not have a will that describes how they want their money and estate to be handled after death. (source)

4 | Did You Know? – Client Exclusive Event!
The School Year Is Quickly Approaching!
August begins on Tuesday already, which means everything “Back To School” is in full swing for every age from preschool to college.
Are you thinking about, or planning to, give your child or grandchild’s future a boost with money you’ve set aside specifically for their advanced education? Do you have the intention, but aren’t sure where to start?
Join us for our CLIENT EXCLUSIVE webinar, The Gift Of Education, on August 22nd at 12 p.m. CT.
This workshop delves into education planning tools called 529 plans, which utilize state run programs providing income tax credits to contributors. We will look at how to set them up, benefits they provide, understanding what a qualified expense is, and how UTMAs and the new laws impact grandparent plans and a child’s FAFSA application for financial aid.
CLICK HERE to register for this webinar. We hope you join us!
