Event Recap: Protecting Yourself from Cybercrime

Strategic Wealth Partners recently hosted a panel discussion on how you can protect yourself from cybercrime. The panel, moderated by Tom Buhrmann, Wealth Advisor, featured Adam Moseley, Managing Director at Charles Schwab Advisory Services and Lindsay Pflug, Manager of Training & Process Development. The panel fielded questions from the audience and shared tips and tricks on how to protect yourself online.

While a myriad of topics were covered, a primary point of discussion was email phishing attempts. “If you think an email is suspicious and you don’t recognize the sender, it is best to delete it and not click on any links,” Moseley said. Pflug added, “Even if the email is from a sender you recognize, such as your bank, you should never click on a link in it to login to your account. Instead, search using your browser and go to the institution’s main website and enter your credentials there”.

The Power of Giving Now
When we reflect on what to do with our wealth as we grow older, we tend to first think about where our money will go after we pass. Recently though, more and more people are shifting their perspective on passing down their wealth from an inheritance-focused view to a more immediate, experience-focused one. Instead of saving every available dollar for their estate, people are using some of those assets to fund unforgettable family vacations, meaningful experiences with friends, and other memories that last a lifetime. People are also investing in their loved one’s lives while living, offering to contribute more to wedding costs, housing down payments, and business funding.

Investing a Large Cash Inflow: All at Once or “Spread It Out”?
At some point in your life, you may be faced with managing a large cash inflow. Selling a business, collecting a deferred compensation payout, and receiving an inheritance are a few of the most common reasons. Regardless of the source of this money, you will have to decide what to do with it. It’s an age-old investing debate: should I invest the cash all at once, or stage into the market over time?
