ATTN Hilcorp Employees,
Q2/2024 401k allocation recommendations have been updated. We have modified our allocations to have a higher exposure to small and mid-cap funds. We also reduced exposure to Large Cap Value and added to the S&P 500 index. The stock market has been off to a good start so far this year, but the Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-Earnings (CAPE) ratio for the S&P 500 is currently hovering around 35 times earnings. This is one of the highest historical readings in the history of bull markets. Investors are encouraged to proceed with caution since there is a high historical probability that a pullback will occur once the CAPE ratio exceeds 30 times earnings.
For those of you who are taking advantage of our new direct 401(k) management service, your account will be updated to reflect our current allocation recommendations; you do not need to take any action. If you do not currently utilize our 401(k) management services and would like more information, please email us by clicking here and we will schedule a time to discuss the options and benefits of having your 401(k) actively managed.
During volatile markets, risk management quickly becomes a top priority for investors. It is important to have a sound risk management strategy in place. At Capstone Wealth Advisors, we can help you evaluate your risk tolerance and create a diversified investment portfolio that balances risk and reward. We can also help you adjust your portfolio as market conditions change, to keep your risk tolerance appropriate for your investment time horizon and long-term goals.
As noted above, we cannot overstate the importance of having an experienced, professional Financial Advisor to help you determine what is the best approach for you given your individual risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals. We offer free risk assessments to all Hilcorp employees and retirees.
