Summary:

Now On Demand

While 2024 has been a stand-out year for most asset classes, the coming months present challenges. Specifically, a closely contested federal election, geopolitical uncertainties, and questions about the pace at which interest rates will normalize. While these variables could introduce short-term volatility, the economic fundamentals offer a positive contrast: Unemployment is low, inflation has been cooling, and corporate profits have been rising. So where do advisors turn to balance these time horizons?

Join ProShares’ Global Investment Strategist Simeon Hyman and team for a discussion of how to stay invested and seek to participate in the upside of major benchmark indexes, while generating income in the short-term.
