Latest Investments & Planning Insights

Weekly Edge

At the end of the trading week, the team at NewEdge Wealth publishes its commentary on the week that was, as well as some insights into what it means for clients looking ahead.

Tremors

As we enter the final few weeks of 2025, investors have ridden a wave of optimism propelled by economic resilience and rising corporate profits. As we wrote last week, however, this bull market is beginning to look brittle. Assets tied to unprofitable entities, many of which have rallied powerfully in recent months, are off their highs and overall market volatility is up.

Crossing the Frame

As U.S. large cap indices “crossed the frame” of prior highs to trade near or to new all-time-highs, it is helpful to take an assessment of the tailwinds and headwinds for equity returns from this point (instead of “casting quarters into wells that hold our dreams”).

Need You Now

Much like a weepy country song at a karaoke party, PMIs are souring the mood, calling into question the cyclical recovery in the U.S. and challenging the ever-higher growth narrative that is fueling markets. We think growth forecasts and markets should be singing “Need You Now”, pleading with PMIs to confirm the dominant resilient-growth narrative.

Pictures of You

We think that growth forecasts continue to be “so much more than everything” to risk asset performance, with stable and rising forecasts as the key underpinning of recent risk asset strength.

Wealth Strategy

A successful wealth strategy process benefits from a team of advisors, collectively focused on the goals specific to your family. Below are some of the insights and strategies the team at NewEdge has published on what it means to have a wealth strategy, rather than a simple financial plan.
