We were pleased to welcome clients and friends across all our office locations for our recent Investment Breakfast Tour.

During these engaging mornings, our Chief Investment Officer, Sandip Bhagat, shared why 2026 may be a landmark year as U.S. economic growth normalizes at a higher level than in the pre-pandemic cycle. The discussion covered what this could mean for growth, inflation and policy rates, public and private markets, and the key risks shaping today’s investment landscape.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We value the opportunity to connect and share perspectives that help you navigate the year ahead.
