Executive Summary
Pittenger & Anderson (P&A) celebrates its 30th anniversary, managing over $3 billion in assets for more than 900 households. The letter reviews the historical evolution of the market, noting that only Microsoft remains on the top 10 largest companies list from 1995 to 2025, highlighting economic dynamism. Despite a severe tariff-induced correction in early April where the S&P 500 fell 21% intraday from its February highs, markets rebounded to close Q2 at fresh highs. P&A details key market catalysts, such as AI's potential to curb inflation through productivity gains, alongside significant risks, particularly the massive $37 trillion U.S. sovereign debt and its looming refinancing demands. P&A advises clients against reacting to headline noise, advocating instead for a disciplined, diversified, and fully invested approach focused on high-quality assets.
