A Note From Greg Ness, Chairman, President and CEO
As the global health crisis continues to disrupt lives, communities and the economy, I am confident we’ll continue helping people when they need us the most.
We all witnessed the economic volatility during the panic phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Future market direction will depend on news of virus containment and the governmental response. For investors with a long enough time horizon, the best action in this kind of situation has always been to stay the course.
As the scope and complexity of the coronavirus/COVID-19 crisis deepens, The Standard is navigating the challenges with the same expertise and disciplined financial approach that has driven our success for 114 years. Read how we’re staying strong and share our flyer with your clients.
The Standard Charitable Foundation focuses on giving that aligns with our business purpose — helping people achieve financial well-being and peace of mind. With that in mind, we award grants to nonprofits doing great work in their communities. We recently awarded grants to five worthy organizations.
Given the strong year for markets overall, you may not remember that 2019 started with tremendous uncertainty. Also, for the first time in over 170 years, the United States closed an entire decade without experiencing a single recession.
