2025 BEGINS WITH A WAVE OF WORRY Following a very profitable 2024, when both the TSX and S&P 500 returned more than 20%, the new year has presented investors with at least two significant obstacles, each of which could impact both the market’s path and which sectors fare best going forward.

WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US At the end of the year, US investment house JP Morgan made an up to date guesstimate of how the average American investor has fared in recent years in comparison with the broad S&P 500 equity index. As a proxy for when the typical individual entered and left the market, the study looked at when funds were transferred from Chase Bank chequing accounts into investment portfolios and vice versa, and then overlayed this behaviour on top of subsequent equity performance. After surveying a decade's worth of data, the paper identified three core conclusions that highlight the challenges investors face. Read on to uncover these insights in our January report. #dixonmitchell #investmentinsights #wealthmanagement #portfoliomanagement #markets #SP500 #investorbehaviour #marketvolatility

American Exceptionalism. If you’ve recently been following US politics – or much of contemporary Americana for that matter – these might not be the first two words that spring to mind; if we’re talking about business acumen, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit, however, they are absolutely the right descriptor. In 2024, as has been the case for some time, the US economy outpaced the rest and simultaneously seemed to be the incubator for most of the important technological developments which will likely drive tomorrow’s growth.

In late November, Dixon Mitchell proudly sponsored the Curve! Women Carvers on the Northwest Coast exhibition at the Audain Art Museum in Whistler. Co-curated by Dana Claxton and Curtis Collins, the exhibition highlights a lesser-explored facet of Northwest Coast art: the significant contributions of women to the rich traditions of wood and argillite carving. The exhibition will be on display until May 5, 2025. Learn more about this groundbreaking exhibition: https://lnkd.in/dr2j4-KF
