• This year the Fed raised rates at a pace not seen since the '70s and '80s, aiming to reduce demand and slow the pace of inflation. As a result, bonds experienced the largest sell-off since records started in 1926, failing to provide their typical diversification benefits.
• As we approach the end of the Fed's tightening cycle and a potential peak in yields, we believe a lot of the bond-price adjustment is now behind us. History also tells us these peaks generally occur about two months ahead of the last Fed rate hike which we think will occur in the first half of next year.
• We see attractive opportunities forming in fixed-income asset classes across bond maturities, as higher yields enhance return potential. With interest rates meaningfully higher now than at the start of 2022, we believe bonds are better positioned to provide diversification benefits.

Most Americans who give are motivated by altruistic reasons, including a desire to help people in need, make an impact in their communities or help society at large. That said, roughly two-thirds of givers don’t follow a set schedule for giving. Understanding what options and resources are available can make charitable giving more purposeful, impactful and rewarding. Working with a financial advisor to put charitable giving in the context of an overall financial strategy is a great way to start.

Equity markets are off their mid-October lows on hopes for a gradual Fed pivot, showcasing the strong link between interest rates and valuations. The coast is not clear yet, as a pattern of lower inflation readings still needs to be established for equities to mount a sustainable rebound. But stocks could navigate a U-shaped rebound as investors get more confident that inflation will soften and central banks become incrementally less hawkish.
