A legacy of success
Nine Decades of independent, personalized Investment management.
In the nine decades since Roscoe C. Ingalls and John T. Snyder founded this firm, countless investment firms of our size have been absorbed by major national organizations. Ingalls & Snyder, on the other hand, has remained independent. We have managed the firm in a highly conservative manner in order to best serve our clients’ interests and are proud that our approach and philosophy have allowed us to avoid the problems so often reported during periods of market instability.

About 2X Wealth Group
2X WEALTH GROUP WAS FOUNDED
BY TWO WALL STREET VETERANS
WHO HAPPEN TO BE WOMEN
The finance industry has traditionally been a man’s world. We believe women’s financial needs are best understood by women with relatable life experiences and genuine financial expertise. When working with couples, we bring both partners into the financial conversation and provide the necessary education for understanding the game plan.

We are both investment experts with a strong track record of delivering results for institutional clients. Years of experience in both up and down market cycles gives us a keen eye for economic trends and deep understanding of how finance works. We combine our Wall Street expertise with a deeply personal mission to help other women.

Yahoo! Finance
Yahoo! Finance’s The Ticker invited Lori Zager to appear live from the New York studio to present our views on recent trade developments and currency trends.

She pointed out that companies have already done much of their buying for the Christmas season, and as the trade war has dragged on, they have also shifted supply chains away from China. Both factors mute the market impact of delaying phase one of China trade deal.  Further, she stated her belief that the dollar will weaken in 2020, particularly to the Euro, as the Federal Reserve is on hold at the same time the EU isfocused on using fiscal policy to stimulate the European economy.  With regard to the Chinese currency however, a weaker Yuan will likely serve Xi’s political needs to meet growth targets.
