Help CenterSummary – Q1 2025 Investment Commentary
Markets saw sharp volatility in Q1 2025. U.S. stocks corrected twice, impacted by heightened geopolitical tensions and an aggressive tariff announcement from President Trump — pushing tariffs to levels not seen in over a century. Despite this, foreign equities and bonds provided a silver lining, highlighting the importance of diversification.
Key takeaways:
U.S. large-cap growth stocks lagged, while value, international, and emerging markets outperformed.
The new tariff policy has created significant global uncertainty and raised recession concerns.
Despite volatility, fundamentals like earnings and employment remain relatively stable.
Diversification and patience remain crucial during uncertain times.
