Investing In Your Future — Take advantage of the “good days”
You Spoke. We Listened! When you give us feedback, it doesn’t just go in one ear and out the other. We do the work to make things right. For example, based on your requests: * We added a mortgage forbearance option to our coronavirus Financial Assistance Programs. * We made it possible to view your account number and change your address through online banking. * We added our routing number in more places in online banking, and enhanced the way transaction histories are printed so you can use them when the latest statement isn’t available yet. Got any other feedback for us? We want to hear it! The next time you give us a call or complete a transaction, you may get a survey asking how we did.

FR-3111310.1-0620-0722 05292020-LA-3370 illustration shows the long-term power of “time in the market vs. timing the market.” As your financial professionals, we understand that volatility can cause anxiety, and it can be tough to sit still when it’s happening.

Now is the time to act – before you miss out on any more of those “good days.” We always look forward to answering your questions, so if you have any, please reach out and let’s set up a time to talk.

A national investment firm looked at a $10,000 investment into the S&P 500 for 38 years. By missing only the five best days over that period, the investment grew to $458,476. Meanwhile, if the money remained in the account untouched, it would have grown to $708,143. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns, but this
