2025 Mid-Year Economic & Market Outlook
Investors who closed their eyes and did not open their account statements in the first half of the year may have made it to this point in 2025 without feeling overly concerned about their investments, with most asset classes delivering a positive return. Diversified and balanced investment portfolios could have generated a low-single-digit return in aggregate. Of course, such an approach to one’s investments would likely also require never looking at social media, reading a newspaper, or glancing at a TV.
