Asset Allocation Note: "Take It Easy: Navigating Progress & Policy Potholes"
"The road to recovery is rarely a smooth ride, and 2025 has proven no exception. After the sharp pullback in the beginning of April, markets bounced back in May on positive developments, including a surprise trade truce with China. Yet despite this progress, uncertainty still hangs in the air. Tariff negotiations with other nations remain unresolved, the U.S. debt downgrade looms large, and renewed discussions around campaign-season tax cuts have begun to shape market expectations.
In a world of mixed signals and mounting noise, our message remains clear: stay disciplined, stay diversified—and take it easy."
