Fundamentals of Fixed Income Investing
 When you first hear the term ‘investing’, it’s likely that ‘stocks’ is among one of the first words to come to mind. Stocks typically receive much of an investor’s attention due to their role in creating higher returns as a percentage of the entire portfolio. However, fixed income positions, or bonds, play an equally important role because of their ability to help reduce volatility that comes with investing. In an effort to give bonds the attention they deserve, today we discuss the role they play in your portfolio.

Required Minimum Distributions
 February marks the beginning of our annual process of distributing our Clients’ Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from their IRAs. Now that Schwab has released their annual RMD report, the Financial Planning Team is reviewing each IRA from which an RMD is required to ensure enough cash is available for the distribution. In most cases, RMDs will be distributed by the end of the month (some Clients have already received theirs); for our Clients who use their RMD amount as their annual spending target, we’ll track the distributions throughout the year to ensure the required amount is satisfied. Learn more about RMDs and Yeske Buie’s process for managing the distributions.
