Your Money Matters: Q3 2024
Welcome to the latest edition of Money Matters from Kramer Wealth Managers! We’re thrilled to share the latest insights and updates from this past quarter, designed to keep you informed on your financial journey. Let’s dive in and envision your future together.

Despite initial volatility from disappointing economic reports and global market concerns, stocks rallied after the Fed announced a 0.5% cut in short-term rates—the first reduction in four years. As we look to October, focus will shift to the housing market, where declining mortgage rates may encourage homeowners to make moves.
