Work, connection, reflection—and a little adventure in Lake George! 🏔️🚤

Our annual RS Will Wealth Team Retreat took us to beautiful Lake George, New York, where our team members and spouses enjoyed a few memorable days together.

We spent time as a team reflecting on our history, how far we’ve come, and where we’re headed next, and kicked off our latest book club with Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Of course, there was plenty of fun mixed in! From spa time, fishing and boating to team dinners and a 90-minute, island-wide scavenger hunt filled with trivia and team challenges, there was no shortage of opportunities to connect and laugh together.

We capped off the retreat with a private dinner cruise aboard The Morgan, taking in a spectacular three-hour tour of Lake George. 🌅

We’re grateful for the opportunity to step away from our day-to-day work, spend time with our spouses and teammates, and celebrate the relationships and culture that make RS Will Wealth so special. 💙

Back-to-school season brings tuition bills into focus, but the effects of student debt can last for decades. Borrowers are facing missed payments, damaged credit, and difficult tradeoffs involving spending, homeownership, and retirement savings. In this week's Money with Murphy, Kara looks at what those challenges mean for individual households and why the broader consumer remains on relatively solid footing.

This past weekend, our team members and their spouses enjoyed time together at our annual team retreat—more details and photos to come!

Since this year’s retreat took us north to beautiful Lake George, New York, we came prepared for cooler temperatures with our Tour de Frederick sweatshirts! 🚴💙

We love when our team comes together outside the office to volunteer, give back, and support our community. The Tour de Frederick has become one of our favorite traditions, and we’re already looking forward to 2027!

Rider registration is opening up soon! Tour de Frederick

The countdown to the 2027 Tour de Frederick is on! 🚴

For the past several years, The Will Group Foundation has proudly sponsored a rest stop, where our RS Will Wealth team, spouses, and TWGF Board members come together to support the 800+ riders.

We love volunteering together and giving back to the community we’re proud to call home! 💙 Funds raised through the Tour de Frederick benefit the Rotary Club of Carroll Creek and Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County, supporting local nonprofits, scholarships, and youth programs.

In this week’s Markets in a Minute, Kara Murphy revisits the economic and market implications of the conflict with Iran and explores several questions that remain top of mind for investors as it grinds on. What could a prolonged conflict mean for the economy and markets, particularly after many expected the initial shock to be short-lived? And even if the conflict ended tomorrow, how quickly could global oil supplies recover?

Emerging markets have been one of the biggest surprises of the past 18 months. Since the beginning of 2025, emerging markets have returned 60%, outperforming developed markets and the S&P 500. Yet many investors remain under allocated, leaving them on the sidelines as leadership shifted. In this week’s Markets in a Minute, the KIM team discusses what’s driven this recent performance, what could continue to drive it, and how emerging markets can fit in an investor’s portfolio.
