Peaks January 2023 Client Letter

Dear Clients, Colleagues, Friends:

Forecasting growth for 2023. 

Media chatter in this new year is filled with often negative market and economic forecasts citing recession fears, market volatility, a high interest rate regime, and global tensions. 

While we don’t know which forecasts will prove accurate, we do know that they are not forecasts for our clients and our company for the year ahead.  

Peaks Strategies just completed its fifth full year, growing every year and growing 30+% in revenue and professional staff in 2022.  We added clients, built them into relationships, and focused on delivering our equation for shared success -- Knowledge. Service. Results.  

We have positioned Peaks Strategies to attract and work with innovators, adaptors, and leaders who see and do things differently for the better.  Our work for clients in asset management, fintech, real estate, digital finance, ESG, market structure, and related areas is consistent, impactful, and business building. 

Growth will not come easy.  As noted in many of the forecasts dominating the media, real obstacles are present as the new year begins, just as they were at the end of last year.   In today’s market and business environment, a passive approach will not work; active business leaders, like active investors, hold the key to growth.

We will work for continued growth -- for our clients and our firm -- by: 

• Working with clients to keep them active, visible, and ahead of the curve;

• Staying front-and-center to create and capitalize on impactful opportunities;

• Advancing our professionals to provide a high level of service;  

• Developing overarching strategy and delivering results; and

• Providing senior-level attention and high-touch service to drive client marketing communications and sales goals.

We are forecasting growth for 2023.  For our clients and for Peaks Strategies. 

Let us know how we can help you. 

We thank our clients, colleagues, and friends for their support and wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2023.
