As the U.S. marks 250 years, our latest Market & Economic Outlook reflects on what history teaches us about investing — that patience, discipline, and a long-term view tend to compound over generations.
The last 250 years weren't a straight line, and neither are markets. Through wars, recessions, oil shocks, and pandemics, they've proven resilient.
This quarter brought a familiar mix:
➡️ AI disruption and opportunity
➡️ Middle East conflict and oil price swings
➡️ A new Fed Chair and shifting rate expectations
➡️ Continued market volatility
Investing isn't always smooth — but our belief in the resilience and growth of markets persists.
