Although the mission statement of organizations (such as endowments, foundations or not-for-profits) who manage funds for others (beneficiaries), can vary greatly, the need to responsibly manage the investments of the organization is crucial for the ultimate beneficiaries.

With spring right around the corner, Baron Financial Group hosted a client-appreciation event at the spring-training home of the Baltimore Orioles. The March 8th game versus the New York Yankees ended in a time game. This is our fifth year hosting a client event at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Florida. An extra special treat for our guests, and advisors, was a visit from the Oriole Bird!
Increasingly, we understand that there can be a need to have an additional person like a trusted family member or friend we can contact to ensure the well-being of a client.

Because we have personally seen several recent phishing emails claiming to be from Amazon, Chase Bank, Capital One, the IRS, among others, we felt it was important to remind everyone to be aware of fraudulent emails and phone calls asking for personally identifiable information.

Always assume this is a fraudulent call or email and do not give out any sensitive information.
