In case anyone hasn’t noticed, tariffs are back in the news and so far, wreaked havoc on capital markets. If the first Trump term took a chisel to trade policy in 2018, primarily on China, then the second term has picked up the sledgehammer. Mexico, Canada, China, and Europe are all in the crosshairs, with seemingly no end in sight.

As the cost of living continues to rise, planning for retirement remains a top priority for many Americans. One of the key components in securing a comfortable retirement is maximizing contributions to retirement accounts such as Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and employer-sponsored 401(k) plans. For 2025, the IRS has set new contribution limits for these retirement savings vehicles, allowing individuals to put away more money for the future.
MCF Advisors LLC (MCF) is proud to announce the addition of two new team members: Ramsey Steele E. Watson, Wealth Transfer Advisor; and Nicholas Glancy, Strategic Transaction Advisor.
