Episodes
House View Daily | Volatility in AI and tech do not derail the investment thesis
Market swings may persist as geopolitics, rates, and funding questions collide, but the underlying buildout driving AI-linked equities remains intact, in our view.

House View Daily | Renewed tech selling leads markets lower
US stocks fell on Tuesday after an earlier rise on optimism about an imminent US-Iran deal.

House View Daily | Health care offers more than a defensive role in portfolios

House View Daily | Equities fall on tech pressures
US equities and bonds fell in tandem on Friday, as concerns over potential Fed rate hikes, equity issuance by Meta, Broadcom's disappointing AI revenue outlook, and a reversal in semiconductor stocks weighed on markets. However, after the recent rally, a pullback was expected. Despite renewed worries, we expect the rally to resume.
