CETERA FINANCIAL GROUP

Fed Monitor Dashboard and Fed-O-Meter

The Fed is increasingly “Hawkward” – hawkish in its intent yet awkward in communication about its plans, according to Cetera CIO Gene Goldman. To help make sense of it all, Cetera’s Fed resources empower advisors to communicate Fed actions to clients in a relatable way. Cetera’s Fed resources provide a monthly snapshot of where Cetera sees the Fed heading on monetary policy. The indicator provides valuable context on current – and potential future – Fed policy based on

12 key factors, while the Fed-O-Meter is a virtual, dynamic gauge that indicates the likelihood of more aggressive or conservative policy. Cetera advisors embrace these resources, which provide timely, expert insight to make more informed investment decisions for their clients amid today’s uncertainty and rising interest rates.

An at-scale wealth hub, Cetera offers financial professionals and institutions the latest solutions, support, and services. Breaking away from a commoditized and homogenous IBD model, Cetera creatively addresses advisors’ unique needs, whether they are seeking to grow, scale, or transition with a merger, sale, investment, or succession plan.
