Today, he and his team – which operate under the practice name Cebert Wealth – manage $466 million in assets, compared to $444 million when he left his last firm. And, in a recent client satisfaction survey, Cebert’s team was rated 4.7 out of 5 in overall satisfaction based on 40 reviews.¹

The S&P 500 briefly surged into record territory on Friday, reaching an intraday high of 3,027 around midday, before closing at 3,022, just below the record high close of 3,025 from last July. Some tentative progress on the U.S.-China trade front contributed to the better tone, as the broad outline of the so-called phase one agreement takes shape. The intention is to have this first part of a potentially larger, more comprehensive deal ready to be signed ceremoniously by Trump and Xi in Santiago, Chile at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in November. Meanwhile, the European Union has agreed to give the United Kingdom another Brexit extension, this time to January 31, to give the prime minister additional time to overcome objections in Parliament to the deal on offer, and prevent a crash-out on Thursday, October 31, the current deadline.
