March 16, 2020 / 4 min read

Although our primary responsibility is to speak on matters as your financial advisor, the concerns and challenges extend well beyond the realm of the financial. Read more to learn how we're currently responding to the situation.

In recent weeks, we’ve been in frequent communication with you to address ongoing global developments related to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak and other timely matters. Our primary focus has been on how those developments have affected the capital markets, near-term expectations for the economy, and the direction of fiscal and monetary policy. We’ve also acknowledged that, although our primary responsibility is to speak on matters as your financial advisor, the concerns and challenges extend well beyond the realm of the financial. We continue to closely watch the flow of news and experience the same concerns that so many of you have expressed — not only as professionals, but as fellow members of our global community.

P
eople are at the center of what we do.

PMFA is taking active steps to address the need to appropriately protect the health and welfare of our staff in an exceptionally uncertain environment. Simultaneously, we’re focused on ensuring that we have a plan in place to continue to serve you and all our clients at a high level.

Everything we do starts with putting people first. That’s why we’re taking serious precautionary measures to protect the health and well-being of our community. We’ve assembled a COVID-19 task force of leaders across the firm to monitor, address, and mitigate risks presented by the virus, and we intend to strictly adhere to all guidance presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and other trusted public health officials.

Here’s a brief overview of how we’re currently responding to the situation:

Recognizing that conditions remain very fluid, our firm guidelines will continue to be updated as often as is necessary. We care about you — and your financial concerns and well-being. We will continue to do everything in our power to keep our team — your advisors — safe and continue to serve you through whatever challenges might lie ahead.

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your PMFA advisor or any other member of our team. In the meantime, we’ll continue to communicate with you directly on any meaningful developments as we have to this point. In addition, you can access Plante Moran’s COVID-19 business insights here, the CDC here, and the WHO here.

We’re all impacted by the rapidly changing world around us. Our commitment to you doesn’t waver at times like these; we entrench ourselves further to serve you. We wish you good health, and we stand ready to serve you in any way that we can today, tomorrow, and into the future.
