Growth for a company tends to be talked about in simplistic ways: revenue, profits, employee count, new locations, etc. However these are simply outputs. When an organization grows, it's responsibility grows as well -- at least the way Matt looks at it. As Benetas grows he's looking carefully at how he can preserve good communication and relationships, to make sure that important conversations are had, that the coordination between professionals he talks about frequently is happening consistently. In a word, to ensure clients and their unique circumstances feel known, not just processed.

Investments are subject to risk, including the loss of principal. Some investments are not suitable for all investors, and there is no guarantee that any investing goal will be met. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

All indices are unmanaged and investors cannot invest directly into an index.

Investments in target-date funds are subject to the risks of their underlying holdings. The year in the fund name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor in the fund would retire and leave the workforce. The fund will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative investments based on its respective target date. The performance of an investment in a target-date fund is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets, and diversification cannot guarantee that any objective or goal will be achieved.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are subject to market volatility, including the risks of their underlying investments. They are not individually redeemable from the fund and are bought and sold at the current market price, which may be above or below their net asset value.
