December 2025
In the December Diamond Detail, DWA outlines key year-end financial planning priorities and essential December action items, including reviewing required minimum distributions, completing portfolio tax-optimization trades, and finalizing outstanding Roth conversions. Clients are encouraged to contact their DWA advisor as soon as possible with any last-minute planning questions, particularly with the office closing between Christmas and New Year’s.
The update also acknowledges market volatility experienced throughout the year while reinforcing the importance of a long-term perspective, noting that over the past 30 years, cash dividends have grown at three times the rate of inflation and the S&P 500’s value has increased fifteen times faster than inflation.
CEO Bert White closes by thanking clients for their continued trust and the DWA team for their dedication, reaffirming that while markets cannot be predicted, DWA remains confident in its planning process to help families live with abundance and purpose.
