"Markets are experiencing unprecedented abundance from policy support, AI investment boom, and corporate profit growth."
Executive Summary
Markets are experiencing a cornucopia of favorable conditions with robust returns across all asset classes in Q3 2025, led by emerging markets and small-cap US companies. The investment environment benefits from unprecedented policy support including fiscal stimulus through OBBBA legislation providing $2.7 trillion in tax cuts, Fed rate cuts with more expected, and sweeping deregulation. Corporate profits are growing smartly with S&P 500 earnings up 12% and margins holding above 12% for five consecutive quarters. The AI revolution continues driving massive capital expenditure growth of 75% among hyperscalers, with AI-related stocks accounting for 75% of S&P 500 returns since ChatGPT launched. Key risks include labor market deterioration, inflation running at 2.9% versus Fed's 2% target, and geopolitical tensions from deglobalization. Portfolio positioning favors maintaining US large-cap exposure while emphasizing small-caps given striking relative valuations, international stocks trading at 34% discount, and extending duration in fixed income as rates decline.
