Rate changes: Why they matter
This article explores how rate hikes (or cuts) by the Federal Reserve impact the economy. Different from our primer that looks at how the Fed influences rates, this focuses on the way changing rates affect different areas of your clients lives. The article explores talk about how borrowing costs increase, and what that means for corporations (and stocks) as well as more tangible borrowing costs — like mortgage rates. Of course, any discussion of rate changes needs to look at fixed income, so this article dives a bit deeper into yield, price, total return, and how different bond investments may be affected (advisors can customize this section based on their own approach to fixed income). Finally, the article concludes by looking at how rate changes affect everyone and thing differently — not all stocks react the same way, for instance, and credit card rate hikes don’t matter if you pay off your balance every month. The advisor has a chance to call out their specific tips both when it comes to personal finance AND investing.
After reading this article, we want clients to feel prepared for what’s ahead regardless of how rates change, since they’ll have a high level understanding of what those changes mean and how they’re prepared.
