Here's what history has to say about it. Continue reading

The State Street SPDR Portfolio MSCI Global Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT:SPGM) and iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEMKT:IEMG) differ materially in geographic focus, sector exposure, and risk profile, despite sharing the same low expense ratio.

IEMG, in contrast, narrows its focus to emerging market stocks, offering targeted access to faster-growing but potentially more volatile regions.

Guido Mieth Bank of America analyst Michael Hartnett said Friday the classic “sleep like a baby” portfolio is tracking one of its strongest years in modern market history.

Guido Mieth Bank of America analyst Michael Hartnett said Friday the classic “sleep like a baby” portfolio is tracking one of its strongest years in modern market history. The strategy, which splits assets evenly across stocks ( SPY ), bonds ( TLT ), commodities ( DBC ) and cash, is running at a 26% annualized pace in 2026, according to a BofA Securities note. That puts it just below the 27% return seen in 1933. What's more, Hartnett noted the 25/25/25/25 portfolio is posting its third-best outperformance versus a traditional 60/40 stock-bond portfolio in a century. Commodities have done much of the heavy lifting this year, yet remain deeply underowned in many portfolios. BofA noted private clients hold just 0.4% in gold ( GLD ) despite its 31% annualized run rate.
