Quick Take

"Markets continued their upward trajectory in Q3 2025, driven by favorable tax legislation, trade deals, and Fed rate cuts."

Executive Summary

Sparrow Wealth Management's Q3 2025 client letter reports continued market strength with the S&P 500 rising 8.12% during the quarter. International small value stocks, emerging markets, and international large value stocks were the best performers. Markets were supported by several positive policy developments including a new tax bill that extended current tax rates and introduced new deductions, particularly an enhanced senior deduction providing an additional $6,000 deduction for taxpayers over 65. Major trade deals with the European Union, South Korea, and United Kingdom helped reduce tariff uncertainty. The Federal Reserve delivered another anticipated rate cut in September, with investors expecting one or two additional cuts before year-end. Despite markets reaching new all-time highs, historical research from DFA covering 1926-2024 shows that future returns after record highs have actually been slightly better than returns after months ending at any level, suggesting that new highs are not predictive of poor future performance.
