Protect Your Portfolio From 2025’s Deleveraging Risk
The Fed’s recent hawkish stance and increased market volatility have placed significant pressure on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes. As we head deeper into 2025, we anticipate inevitable changes in market dynamics. Notably, the cost of equity financing has risen sharply.

It is crucial for market participants to stay informed and adjust their strategies accordingly.
