2024 saw strong returns, a healthy market, and the Fed (seemingly) stick the landing and blunt inflation without wrecking the economy. The U.S. fared better than many countries navigating the headwinds going into 2024. With rates set to lower and the market in good shape heading into 2025, things are looking up for U.S. investors … or are they? VettaFi is hosting a 2025 Market Outlook Symposium to explore the complex situation going into the next year.
2025 Market Outlook Could Be Complex
Despite the apparent strength of the stock market, there are several notable headwinds and potential obstacles coming down the pike. Accordingly, investors should seek out the experts and hear their assessments as they prepare for 2025.
For awhile, it seemed like a rate-cutting environment was inevitable. That might not be the case. Additionally, some experts are seeing certain stocks as overpriced. Throw in geopolitical tensions around the globe and a new U.S. administration coming into power that could have any number of impacts on the health of the U.S. economy, and you have a recipe for uncertainty
Active Managers Look to Stand Out
Amid all of the nuances, variables, and moving pieces, active managers could have an edge and be more reactive as changes occur. The 2025 Market Outlook Symposium will feature insights from active management thought leaders. “One of the benefits of working with active managers is the ability to tap into their market insights,” said VettaFi’s Head of Research Todd Rosenbluth. “I’m excited to have experts from leading firms like DoubleLine and Pimco joining us and hundreds of advisors.”
