How can retirement savers view the extreme market volatility and economic uncertainty and still make good decisions in hopes of securing the future? Especially given that they're working hard to prepare for a time they can only imagine – their own retirement? The world has been turned upside down, but there is still the capacity for people to make measured and careful decisions and not be swayed by emotion. And for most, there is still time to take action before retirement looms.

Michele Walthert, Managing Director of Wealthspire Advisors, discussed retirement planning, risk tolerance, strategies for planning and saving in the "new normal." Wealthspire Advisors is a New York City-based, independent registered investment advisory firm with more than 120 associates serving clients from 11 offices in 7 states.
