Beginning 2026 With A Bang

This time of the year is always interesting due to the preponderance of investment outlooks that are penned in early-to-mid December. These publications wax lyrical on a variety of topics du jour but are often most useful in informing investors exactly where consensus expectations and biases lie across various asset classes.
