Practice solutions that hold bonds until maturity to potentially lock in yields

Bond Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs)
Bond SMAs offer permanence & definition through individual security ownership
iShares® iBonds® ETFs
A basket of bonds that mature in the same year – they are designed to diversify like a fund, trade like a stock and mature like a bond.

Manage volatility and keep clients invested

A new regime calls for new diversification strategies. With high stock-bond correlations and interest rate volatility challenging the traditional 60/40 portfolio, consider innovative diversifiers like alternatives, BuyWrite ETFs, and buffer ETFs. These can help mitigate downside risk and keep clients aligned with their long-term investment goals.
Re-thinking volatility

Broadening earnings may hint at continued stock growth

The stock market's strong start to 2024, led by the Magnificent 7 tech giants, is now supported by broader earnings growth, with S&P 500 non-tech firms in the positive for the first time since 2022. As the Fed continues its cutting cycle, it may be a good time to diversify investments with large, high-quality stocks.
