“AI has been a buzzword for many of these stocks that have achieved out-sized performance. The “Magnificent 7” have been duly noted as leading the market, but we are already seeing that deteriorate and the term The Fab Four being used more frequently.”

Each quarter, Jon Christensen, Portfolio Manager and Senior Research Analyst provides an update on the performance of the Small Cap Core strategy and shares his market outlook. Listen to his most recent episode where Jon recaps market activity during 1Q 2024, with a particular focus on:

  • Fundamental and sector drivers of the market and the role of AI
  • Primary contributors and detractors to the Small Cap Core strategy performance
  • Current and long-term expectations for earnings growth
