At a time when investors are mixed on the U.S. market, one portfolio manager remains optimistic and sees reasons to stay invested. "We really like the U.S.," Aneka Beneby, portfolio manager at Julius Baer International, told CNBC Pro last month. Looking ahead to 2025, Beneby expects the U.S. to log higher growth of around 2.5%, up from 2% previously. She is especially bullish on large cap quality growth companies which "have been able to withstand higher interest rates." Beyond these companies, Beneby is still looking favorably at large-cap tech stocks globally and sees potential, especially in companies in cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

Both US indexes have recovered slightly following last year’s big falls, but one of the biggest drags on their performance — high interest rates — is likely to stick around. That’s because, when interest rates are low, the yields on government bonds are also low. That boosts investors’ appetite for riskier investments, such as the stocks of small or highly indebted tech companies that could make blockbuster returns years down the line. BP (BP) and Shell (SHLX), both FTSE companies, more than doubled their annual profits last year to a combined $68 billion. But the lack of tech companies may come back to haunt the FTSE, once inflation and interest rates fall back.
