Predicting the future of the investment markets is a fool’s game.
Followers of our annual market outlook compendiums will notice that expectations for 2025—as explored here in these pages—are all over the map.
Some market watchers here are anticipating a significant correction by the end of 2025. Prices in many large sections of the market remain historically “frothy.”
And yet…the notion that the investing class, and those who advise them, are due for some kind of reckoning seems quaint. Markets continue to rise, seemingly inexorable. According to the November reading of our own WMIQ Advisor Sentiment Index, RIA optimism in the economy and the stock market are at yearly highs.
In truth, no one knows what is going to happen. |

That’s why a compendium like this can be helpful. It provides exposure to a range of market commentary, a variety of voices and expertise, in a quick, easy-to-digest format. Most important, they do not all come to the same conclusion.
Flip through the pages and you may come across an insight, data point or perspective that contributes to your own take on the markets, or the economy, and helps you in investment discussions with your own clients.
Let serendipity be your guide. If there is something here that, even in a small way, helps you, your practice and your clients, we’ll consider it a success.
Here’s hoping you all prosper in 2025. |
