Quarterly Market Review - Q4 2024

As we start the last quarter of 2024, many investors continue to be anxious about the potential impact of the election cycle. Chief investment officer Greg Sweeney shows there’s little correlation between party politics, who’s in office and market performance. Watch Greg’s Q4 market review for predictors of where the Fed (and fed fund rates) may be headed, how deficit spending may mask a weakening U.S. consumer and the positioning of stock and bond investments in today’s economic environment.
