Newsletter Covers-1

Hello,

 

October is here, and with it comes a new mix of insights and updates we think you’ll enjoy.

 

We start with “On Our Minds,” where you’ll find our own financial planning services video, a fascinating look back at the South Sea Bubble of 1720, and a thought-provoking take on why AI coding hasn’t yet delivered the flood of apps many expected.

 

Then, in this month’s Market Lens, we highlight how construction spending on data centers has now surpassed office buildings — a telling shift in our modern economy. 

 

Finally, in “Beyond the Desk,” we’re sharing snapshots from our team’s night out at Summer’s Last Blast along with some first-day-of-school smiles from the kids.

If you have inquiries about the investment markets or your tailored wealth management strategy, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

In 1720, Britain’s brightest minds, from nobles to Isaac Newton himself, were lured into the South Sea Bubble — a financial illusion that ended in disaster. This video reveals how the mania unfolded, why history continues to rhyme in today’s markets, and what we can learn from it to be better prepared when the next bubble comes.

AI coding is supposed to make anyone a developer and fuel a wave of new software, but the numbers tell a different story. Despite the hype, app releases have not surged, leaving many asking where the little apps are.
