  • Will Policy Disruption Unsettle Markets in 2025?

    Will Policy Disruption Unsettle Markets in 2025?
    Dec 12 2024
    While most investors are thrilled with 2024's market performance, many are also anxious about the future, particularly with the uncertainty of how the incoming administration's policies could impact the markets. On the final WashingtonWise episode of the year, host Mike Townsend is joined by Kevin Gordon, Schwab's senior investment strategist, to discuss why the markets are more attuned than usual to the policy and political environment, and how investors should position themselves for a potential increase in market volatility in 2025. Mike and Kevin break down five major policy issues—immigration, tariffs, taxes, the budget deficit, and deregulation—and how the markets are thinking about the potential changes that could emerge from President-elect Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress. Kevin also offers his thoughts on how investors should approach 2025. Check out the 2025 outlook article from Kevin and Liz Ann: "U.S. Stocks and Economy 2025 Outlook."WashingtonWise is an original podcast for investors from Charles Schwab.

  • Balancing Campaign Promises With Economic Realities

    Balancing Campaign Promises With Economic Realities
    Nov 14 2024
    With the 2024 election in the rearview mirror, host Mike Townsend takes an in-depth look at the key policy debates that are coming in 2025 and the difficulties the incoming administration will have turning broad campaign promises into reality on Capitol Hill. Mike explores how razor-thin majorities in Congress and economic realities may necessitate compromise on four big policy issues that will dominate 2025 and impact every investor: tariffs, taxes, the debt ceiling, and deregulation. Mike also provides updates on non-election news out of Washington, including the Federal Reserve's most recent rate cut and efforts to preserve its independence; the odd dynamic of the post-election session of Congress and the looming deadline to fund government operations; and changes for 2025 to retirement savings contribution limits.

As a result, it may be difficult to compare ESG investment products. Further, some issuers may present their investment products as employing an ESG strategy, but may overstate or inconsistently apply ESG factors. An investment product’s ESG strategy may significantly influence its performance.Because securities may be included or excluded based on ESG factors rather than other investment methodologies, the product’s performance may differ (either higher or lower) from the overall market or comparable products that do not have ESG strategies. Environmental (“E”) factors can include climate change, pollution, waste, and how an issuer protects and/or conserves natural resources. Social (“S”) factors can include how an issuer manages its relationships with individuals, such as its employees, shareholders...

  • What Makes the U.S. Bond Market Appealing Now?

    What Makes the U.S. Bond Market Appealing Now?
    Oct 31 2024
    Fixed income investors are likely focused on two big early November events: the presidential election and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision. On this episode, host Mike Townsend is joined by Collin Martin, a fixed income strategist at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, for a timely conversation on how bond markets typically react to elections, how investors who are anxious about the election can use bond strategies to lock in good rates and help limit volatility in their portfolios, the outlook for another rate cut by the Fed, and why there may be opportunities now for investors interested in longer-duration bonds. Collin offers his perspective on corporate bonds, high-yield bonds, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS. Mike shares what he will be watching for on election night, as well as an update on the IRS inflation adjustments to key provisions of the tax code, including individual income tax brackets and the estate tax. Mike also references this recent IRS publication on inflation adjustments to key tax provisions.WashingtonWise is an original podcast for investors from Charles Schwab.
