"Brighton Jones emphasizes global diversification over market timing in Q3 2025, highlighting international equity leadership and dollar weakness."

Executive Summary

Brighton Jones' Q3 2025 update highlights a year marked by resilience across asset classes, with every market segment posting positive returns through the first three quarters. International equities led with nearly 28% gains, roughly a third from currency tailwinds as the dollar weakened 11% since January. The firm emphasizes the importance of global diversification rather than attempting to predict currency movements. Despite a 20% intra-year decline, U.S. stocks recovered to finish 13% higher year-to-date, reinforcing the value of long-term perspective. Fixed income delivered strong 6%+ returns despite stubborn inflation concerns. The Federal Reserve has cut rates by 125 basis points with markets expecting further cuts toward a neutral 300-325 basis point range. Trump's sweeping tariff announcement in April created significant volatility before a 90-day pause allowed for negotiations. The firm maintains a moderate conservative stance while favoring globally diversified portfolios over cap-weighted indexes, particularly value-oriented strategies with smaller market capitalizations for the next decade.
