U.S. leadership remained firm, supported by strong earnings, AI-driven optimism, and a market structure increasingly dominated by a narrow group of large-cap companies. For many investors, the path forward seemed clear: stay anchored to what worked. However, over the course of the year, the narrative shifted.

Capital flowed to companies whose earnings were far out in the future, reinforcing the dominance of U.S. technology and internet platforms. Today, rates have normalized globally , meaning capital is no longer free . More parts of the market can compete for it, which is creating a more balanced opportunity set across sectors and regions. Fiscal policy has changed meaningfully since the early 2010s. Outside the U.S., year...
