Buying an S&P 500 index fund has long been considered an easy way to gain broad market exposure and diversification. In the past, the largest sector in the S&P 500 has typically made up less than 20% of the index. As a result, when investors buy the S&P 500 index, they become overexposed to growth by default. That's where value investing comes in, he said, as value stocks provide diversification on both fronts. Growth stocks are mainly found in the technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services sectors," Jesch wrote in a recent note.

Market strategists at major ETF firms are optimistic about the stock market rally continuing in 2025, expecting large tech stocks to keep generating solid earnings and stave off valuation concerns in the near term. However, as the horizon extends, growth and earnings impacts diminish, with valuations eventually dominating returns as a 'fundamental gravity,'" the Vanguard outlook said. Over the next decade, we expect 4.3%–5.3% annualized returns for both U.S. and global ex-U.S. currency-hedged bonds," the Vanguard outlook said. The iShares U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) , for example, has outperformed the S & P 500 in 2024. Jay Jacobs, the U.S. head of thematic and active ETFs at BlackRock, highlighted the iShares Health Innovation Active ETF (BMED) and the iShares U.S. Manufacturing ETF (MADE) in his outlook piece.

After several years of big swings in the market and the U.S. economy, investors may want to buckle down and focus on individual stocks rather than make bold predictions about 2024. A resilient economy in 2023 proved widespread projections of an imminent recession wrong, and the economic consensus is murkier heading into the new year. That scenario of an economy exiting a recession seems far away as the calendar turns to 2024 with the U.S. labor market still growing. And quality stocks showed in 2023 that they can have solid performance even if growth is what leads the market. Shifting to high quality stocks can give investors a measure of defense in their portfolio without piling into cash.

ORLANDO, Florida, April 21 (Reuters) - Even though it may surprise some that it's positive at all, the risk premium on equity over bonds has hit historic lows - a key driver of the recent dash for fixed income. The so-called equity risk premium (ERP), the extra return investors can expect for holding stocks over risk-free government bonds, is hovering around its lowest level since before the Great Financial Crisis. The S&P 500 earnings yield is calculated dividing the latest or forecast 12-month earnings per share by the market's current level. The ERP is then arrived at by subtracting a benchmark bond yield, say 10-year, from the equity market earnings yield. "The earnings yield is not what it used to be but it is still attractive relative to other opportunities," Jaffee said.
Investors getting whipsawed by market gyrations over the past two years have been moving to the sidelines and stowing away their cash. The firm looked back at two decades of market behavior prior to the sharp slump of 2022 and found that missing even a few rally days could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in returns. Using a $100,000 investment as a base, the firm found that missing the best five days of the 2002-2021 period cost more than $200,000, while missing the best 25 days saw a loss of returns totaling nearly half a million dollars. Missing those top-performing days can have a meaningful impact across time, as shown below," he added. DeSpirito said the data show that, despite the turbulence of the past few years, "it's time in the market that matters more than timing the market."

According to Tony DeSpirito, inflation and recession risks are the biggest threats to stocks. According to Tony DeSpirito, investors today face a two-pronged set of major risks to their portfolios: inflation and recession. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) offers diversified exposure to energy stocks, while the Vanguard Financials ETF (VFH) offers exposure to the financials sector. According to BlackRock's Ben Bei, a product strategist on the firm's Active Equity Group, healthcare stocks have performed well in prior recessions. Alongside healthcare, DeSpirito recommended keeping some cash on the sidelines as markets continue to digest inflation and the risk of monetary tightening.
