Partnering with Croft Financial Group has enabled us to offer our clients a much higher level of service and a huge upgrade in our portfolio management, while allowing us to grow in terms of both managed assets and number of advisors.

We all knew that aggressive interest rate hikes would eventually break something. The first shoe dropped on March 10th and March 11th, when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) took control of two insolvent commercial banks: Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank (SBNY) were the second and third largest bank failures since Washington Mutual collapsed in 2008.

In short, look for more rate hikes at least through the next two meetings and possibly through June 2023.
