Given that the S&P 500 is continuing to approach new all-time highs, it should not come as a particular surprise that some advisors and investors are trying to better understand where equity valuations are sitting. Are valuations getting far too high, or are conditions simply continuing to work in favor of U.S.
It certainly seems like conversations around how tariff policy is going to affect both the markets and the U.S. economy as a whole won't be slowing down any time soon. Towards the tail end of September, President Trump announced a new round of tariffs on a slew of different goods.
Looking ahead, how should advisors and investors seek to position their U.S. equity portfolios? The answer to that question may be a bit more murky than one would traditionally anticipate.
