NELA RICHARDSON: Hello, everyone. I'm Nela Richardson, principal and investment strategist with Edward Jones, bringing you a "Minute Market Update."
If 2020 has taught us anything, it's that it can be hard to predict and prepare for the future. That's true of the day-to-day market highs and lows, the speed and shape of the economic recovery, and what each journey and phase of our lives look like, including retirement.
According to a recent study by Edward Jones and Age Wave, the majority of US's retirees define retirement as a whole new chapter of life-- an encouraging outlook in uncertain times. But to make that new chapter look whole, many investors crave guidance. And that starts with a financial professional.

Whether it's understanding the intricacies of a stimulus package or finding stability in a volatile market, a financial advisor can serve as a guide, helping people prepare for that next chapter.
