What is CI Simple? • Our Design & Editorial leaders have planned a complete overhaul of our content, and we've named the transformation CI Simple. • Each page has been re-envisioned to ensure information is presented in a concise and easily digestible format. Why? • In an age of ever-shortening attention spans and new information accessible at the swipe of a thumb, CI Simple addresses the demands of modern readers. • There’s nothing quite like reading local news straight from your mailbox, and with this change we’re making every word and image count even more. Exciting changes • Revamped front covers with eye-catching imagery alongside a story that truly matters, plus new features like CI Foodie and CI Texas

MONTHLY COMMENTARY

August was a difficult month for stocks and seasonally this time of year often is. A lot of good news was priced into stocks in the first half of the year and though 2nd quarter corporate earnings weren’t bad, shares were priced for perfection. So, the set up for the second half of 2023 is to use any weakness in the 3rd quarter to add to areas where you feel you are underexposed in your portfolio. Good balance is an essential ingredient for long-term investment success and market volatility provides you the opportunity to make the changes needed to get your portfolio in tip top shape. Let us know if you need any help.
