Not for herself, but for the stocks she scoops up for Thrivent's Large Cap Growth fund — even when growth shows signs of slowing. On a total return basis, investors in the fund have netted 48% in the last 12 months, according to FactSet. Thrivent Large Cap Growth climbed to the 18th percentile among more than 1,200 growth funds in 2023, up from the 73rd percentile in the disastrous 2022, Morningstar data shows. Maybe that's because as an analyst, Brunner's background was in large cap consumer staples and large cap retail and discretionary stocks, after starting out covering specialty apparel retailers. "It's just a really exciting spot to be in," Brunner said of studying growth stocks.

Consumers are happy, the stock market is near record highs, inflation is moderating and the labor market is defying all forecasts. Apparently, very little as the latest reading on consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan confirmed on Friday. The final consumer sentiment survey for January posted a 13% increase to 79, almost a 10-point surge from December’s 69.7 reading, echoing earlier estimates. “This morning’s strong jobs report diminished the chances of the Fed cutting in March,” said Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial. This means businesses are in a good position despite the macro headwinds and uncertainty about growth expectations.”

Last month, bond yields made a comeback and the 10-year Treasury note hit roughly 5%, the highest since 2007. On the other end, bond risk comes from the borrower's ability to pay back their obligation. For investors who want higher income, Bory recommends considering a mutual fund or a commingled fund that provides that diversification. Popular examples of corporate bond funds include the MainStay MacKay High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (MHCAX), Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund (GSHIX), and High Yield Spectrum Fund (PHSIX). Below is a list of Morningstar analysts' favorite high-yield bond funds that have the highest "Gold Medalist" rating.
