With markets continuing to digest slowing growth, evolving inflation trends, and shifting interest-rate expectations, income strategy remains one of the most important—and most misunderstood—areas of portfolio construction.

**Today, from 1:30–2:30 PM ET**, I’ll be hosting a live webinar with **Jay Hatfield**, CIO of **Infrastructure Capital Advisors**, to discuss how fixed income and equity income strategies may be positioned as we move toward 2026\. The conversation will focus on macro conditions, policy dynamics, and how different income-oriented asset classes may respond as the cycle evolves.

### Why This Matters Now

As the economy cools and the policy backdrop shifts, investors are reassessing:

- How interest rates and inflation may trend over the next several years
- The role of bonds, preferreds, and dividend-paying equities in income portfolios
- Where active management may add value in a changing market regime

This webinar is designed to help advisors step back from short-term market noise and think more clearly about income strategies across the next phase of the cycle.

### What You’ll Learn

- A macro outlook for growth, inflation, and Federal Reserve policy into 2026
- How income-oriented assets may behave in a changing rate environment
- Key considerations for portfolio construction across fixed and equity income strategies

The session is **approved for CFP® Board CE credit**, making it both educational and practical for financial professionals.
