Despite prolonged inflationary pressures and higher interest rates, financial markets have steadily rebounded from their post-pandemic lows, with many expecting the bullish trajectory to continue well into 2025. Some experts, such as Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, believe the current bull market is still in its greenhorn infancy.
That’s thanks in large part to a very healthy U.S. consumer, whose purchasing power has helped prompt record highs for forward-looking profit margins and earnings for the S&P 500, Detrick writes in a recent blog post.
Bull markets breed optimism and boost investment — factors that spell good news for wealth advisors everywhere. But how long will all this optimism last, and what does history say about the endurance of bull markets? With the impending shift in political power, it is hard to know for sure. But sometimes just asking a fellow advisor for their thoughts can help bring things into focus.
That’s why we created Blue Vault Community Groups for wealth advisors! These groups are designed to bring advisors together regionally and virtually to foster a year-round environment of growth, support, and continuous learning around alternative investments.
If you’d like a pulse check on the current state of U.S. financial markets, then you won’t want to miss our next community group meeting on Tuesday, January 21, 2025! Ryan Detrick is our guest speaker and will briefly share valuable insights that are sure to generate stimulating breakout room discussions. A sought-after commentator, Detrick frequently shares his market perspectives through media appearances on CNBC, Fox Business, Yahoo! Finance, Bloomberg, and SiriusXM. We are also excited to welcome Ryan Detrick as a speaker at our 2025 Alts Summit in March!
There is no cost to join a community group, and the time commitment is just one hour a month: Each group typically meets every third Monday of the month from 4:00-5:00 p.m. EST. You are free to come and go as needed, and it’s OK to miss one meeting and return for the next! There are no strings attached. You don’t have to sign a contract or anything more formal than a simple registration form.
