Spring 2022


What’s Happening At Three Oaks

  • We don’t always have all our team together in one place, but when we do, there’s fun, service…and maybe a little productivity.
  • Our goal for 2022 is to hire two new team members: one dedicated client service associate for our California office and one paraplanner for our Dallas office.
  • The results from our Q1 poll on the best performing asset class of 2022 are in!
    • U.S. Stock = 50%
    • Real Estate = 33.3%
    • Crypto-Currency = 16.7%

Industry Updates

  • The SECURE Act was passed in 2019 and increased the age for Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from 70.5 to 72. The House recently passed version 2.0, which now awaits a vote in the senate. Potential impacts:
    • Increase catch-up contributions for those age 62, 63, and 64
    • Postpone RMDs to age 73 or later
    • Add Roth features to SEP and SIMPLE plans
  • Interest rates and inflation are on the rise. What does history tell us about asset class performance against these backdrops?
  • Student loans stay at 0% until August.

Mark Your Calendars

Important dates you should know:
