Navigating Inflation: The FOMC’s Single Mandate

One of the biggest stories of 2024 has been the launch of 11 distinct spot Bitcoin strategies. Jan. 11 is truly a date that will go down in ETF history, similar to the launch of SPDR’s gold trust in 2004, or even SPDR’s S&P 500 Index trust in 1993.
Q4 2023 Earnings: Quality Growth Takes Center Stage
Earnings season for the last quarter of 2023 has wrapped up. Despite recession fears early in the year, most reporting companies made it across the finish line with better corporate profits than analysts had expected.
Wait, Did Europe Really Outperform The U.S. Over The Last Three Years?
Goldman Sachs recently highlighted a basket of 11 European companies it calls “internationally exposed quality growth compounders” with surprisingly similar returns to the Magnificent 7 over the last three years.
With Nvidia At $2 Trillion, Where Is The Risk Concentrated?
No stock has been hotter in this artificial intelligence (AI) cycle than Nvidia, which recently eclipsed a market capitalization of $2 trillion.

The new rate regime has presented investors with a fixed income backdrop that hasn’t been witnessed in several years. Against this backdrop, bond portfolio decision-making has been presented with a new, “old” opportunity for positioning.
Gold: Unique In Every Way
Gold is a special asset. It is simultaneously a commodity and a foreign exchange instrument. It is cyclical and defensive at the same time. It has been used as a store of value and a medium for exchange for millennia.
Magnificent Seven Earnings (Mostly) Impress
Six of the Magnificent Seven have reported earnings so far this season, and the results have been largely impressive. Five out of the six exceeded analyst earnings and sales estimates.
Focus On The Fed Series: Taking Stock Of Fixed Income
