Yeske Buie’s Financial Literacy Program

Financial Literacy is a widely under-taught subject matter in the education of today’s youth. Some students can go through their entire education, including college, without some of the most basic financial knowledge required for them to succeed. Yeske Buie has put together a financial literacy program to help you and the ones you hold dear feel that your children and grandchildren are set up for financial success. Read more about Yeske Buie’s financial literacy program and see a video of a group of college students who are put to the test about their “preparedness” for the real world and the shocking results.

Give Big

One of Yeske Buie’s defined core values is our desire to willingly and selflessly share our time, our intellect, and our resources. In the past week, various Yeske Buie team members have volunteered with different foundations as part of Yeske Buie’s Give Big initiative. Over the weekend, members of our West Coast team volunteered at Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco’s Park Beautification event, while members of our East Coast team volunteered at one of Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation’s Pet Adoption events. Read quotes from our team members about their experiences and see pictures of our volunteers at the events.

Year-to-Date Market Update

What a different a day makes, or, at least, a calendar quarter. As everyone knows by now, last year was a good year for U.S. stocks and a not so good year for foreign stocks (at least, for those of us who are dollar investors). The first quarter of this year, however, has seen a distinct reversal in that situation as you can see from the chart to the left. The returns are year-to-date through March 25th, with US funds in light green and international funds in dark green.
