HJ Sims Market Commentary: The Path to And from Jackson Hole

HJ Sims Logo

The older we grow, the more we realize how little we know. Overwhelmed by the universe of data and news at our fingertips, some of us cling to trivial facts: New Jersey grows two thirds of all the eggplant in the world. Mississippi produces the most NFL players per capita. We are more likely to win an Olympic Gold medal than the Mega Millions lottery, and twice as likely to be killed by a vending machine than a shark.

HJ Sims Market Commentary: Delivery Charges

HJ Sims Logo

The U.S. postal system was established by the Second Continental Congress on July 26, 1775 and Benjamin Franklin was paid $1,000 dollars a year to serve as its first postmaster. He was charged with establishing a national service at a time when it took months for mail to arrive from near or far and spotty deliveries were made to local taverns and inns. Franklin, the “MacGyver” of his times, rolled up his sleeves and set up more efficient delivery routes from Florida to Maine with wagons traveling in relay teams by day and night.

HJ Sims 1st Annual Private Wealth Management Summit Recap

It’s hard to believe it’s been a month since the HJ Sims Private Wealth Management team came together in Boca Raton, FL for our 1st Annual Private Wealth Management Summit. The focus: alternative investments.

The Summit was an opportunity for our financial professionals to gather for education, collaboration, inspiration and a little fun under the sun. With team members in offices around the U.S. and Puerto Rico, many team members have not had the chance to meet face-to-face with their colleagues outside of Zoom. The camaraderie proved to be invaluable, allowing the HJ Sims Private Wealth Management team to forge greater connections with each other and share insights.

While the connections were key, the icing on the cake was the thought-provoking education sessions put on by the Summit sponsors. The team heard about the latest on products, solutions and technology advancements from leading experts in the alternative investments space. Presenters included One Oak Capital Management, Glide Capital, Apollo Global Management, First Trust, Prospect Capital Management, InspereX, Nexpoint, Bluerock, WhiteHawk Energy and Capital Square as well as members of the HJ Sims investment banking team.

Check out the photos below for some of our favorite moments from the Summit.
