"Miller Wealth Management reports solid Q3 performance with U.S. stocks up 5.89% and international markets gaining 7.28%. AI enthusiasm continues driving tech sector gains while Fed rate cuts support bonds."
Executive Summary
Miller Wealth Management delivered a Q3 2024 market update highlighting solid performance across asset classes. U.S. large cap stocks gained 5.89% led by technology and healthcare sectors, driven by continued AI enthusiasm and substantial corporate investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure. International markets performed even better at 7.28% as easing trade tensions, local stimulus, and attractive valuations drew investor interest. The bond market contributed 5% returns primarily from interest income as the Federal Reserve cut short-term rates for the first time in 2024. Looking ahead, Fed projections suggest 100 basis points of additional cuts by 2025, potentially boosting corporate and real estate profitability through lower borrowing costs. The team acknowledges multiple sources of uncertainty including global conflicts, trade policy changes, and rapid AI development. However, they emphasize the importance of maintaining consistent investment principles and convictions despite inevitable market changes. The firm positions itself as a steady partner for clients navigating an evolving investment landscape while staying grounded in unchanging wealth management fundamentals.
