With the end of 2020 in sight, we encourage you to review your financial affairs for the year so far and consider whether any tax or estate planning actions should be taken before December 31st or deferred into 2021. Over the course of this year, a wide variety of tax-related laws have been changed, adjusted, introduced, or suspended, and as such 2020 deserves more review than usual. To help you get started, we would like to highlight a few select issues and opportunities. Please know that we are here to partner with you and would welcome the opportunity to discuss these topics at your convenience.

Federal Reserve Rate Cuts
An Overreaction to a Test of Yield Curve Inversion
There has been a lot of concern about the inverted Treasury yield curve and the historical belief that it portends an actual economic recession. Our central case is that the concern about the inversion is an overreaction, driven from a misunderstanding of some of the key factors that have triggered the inversion. We expect the Fed will cut rates further this year, potentially at the September meeting and even perhaps an additional cut at the December meeting. We continue to believe that such additional rate accommodation will be supportive of continued US economic growth–not a recession.
