📣 This Thurday!!📣

Have you ever wanted to ask a financial question but weren’t sure who to ask without feeling judged for it? That’s exactly the gap this session is built to close.
We’re kicking off a 3-part series, and Session 1 is Anatomy of a Recession: a plain-language look at what’s actually happening in the economy, without the acronyms and without anyone talking down to you.

Here’s what we’ll actually cover, in plain English:
→ What a “recession” really means, and how to tell if we’re in one (or heading toward one)
→ What it means for your money and your portfolio, translated out of finance-speak
→ How to read the signs of a recovery, not just a downturn — the story doesn’t end at “bad news”
→ A space to ask the question you’ve been sitting on, without judgment

Come as you are, know as much or as little as you know. That’s the whole point.

🎟️ Tickets are limited. Sign up here:

Nobody taught most of us this.

If you’ve ever sat in a room while people talked about “the market” and nodded along without really following, you’re not behind, you’re in the majority.

That’s exactly why we’re kicking off our 3-part financial planning series with a session that focuses on YOU.

No assumed background. No one talking over you. Just a real, human conversation about:

→ What a recession actually is, and the indicators that matter
→ What it means for your money right now
→ How to spot both the warning signs and the recovery signs, so you’re not just bracing for bad news
→ Why your gut reaction to market swings is usually working against you, and what to do instead

This Thursday. Tickets are Limited

Join Professionals with Pride for the first part of a three part financial planning series! Part one focuses on financial planning for LGBTQ+ individuals & their families and the need for special considerations in comparison to the larger population.

Here are the facts:

➡️ LGBTQ+ employees earn about 90 cents for every dollar the typical U.S. worker earns (Human Rights Campaign data)
➡️ Nearly half (48%) of LGBTQ+ adults report feeling financially unwell - almost double the general public’s 25.7% (HRC/PSB Research)
➡️ During the 2020/21 recession, 17% of LGBTQ+ people lost their job to COVID-19 vs. 13% of the general population (HRC/PSB Research via Philadelphia Gay News)
➡️ LGBTQ+ individuals report significantly more difficulty with retirement savings and rainy-day funds than similarly situated heterosexual peers (Federal Reserve)

The bottomline: our community has less of a cushion when downturns hit, which is exactly why understanding the business cycle matters more here, not less.
Leading the talks are panelists Carson Amiral, CFP, CEPA, MBA of Edward Jones and Alejandro Nunez from Franklin Templeton. Together they will break down:

1️⃣ Key economic indicators
2️⃣ What different cycles mean for you equity portfolio
3️⃣ Understanding portfolio adjustments and when to make them
4️⃣ Practical moves for LGBTQ+ professionals and business owners who don’t always have a family safety net to lean on

If financial planing for you and your family matters, this is a not to be missed event where PWP provides you with unique and valuable insights on ways to deal with financial uncertainty and the tools to move forward.
