Market Performance Overview
Q: How did different asset classes perform over the year?
A: The year saw strong returns in U.S. equities and gold, which were among the standout performers. However, other asset classes, including international equities, small-cap stocks, and bonds, experienced weaker performance. The disparity in returns highlights the continued dominance of large-cap U.S. stocks and the resilience of gold as a safe-haven asset in uncertain market conditions.
