Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. In our three articles this week, Vanguard's Global Chief Economist and Head of Investment Strategy Group, Joe Davis, focuses on different aspects of the megatrends shaping the future of global economies and markets, including the continued rise of artificial intelligence (AI). Our lead article discusses why it may be beneficial for investors to look beyond technology stocks, particularly in the context of U.S. equity markets, to capture broader potential growth and productivity increases. Our second article explains why the future may be ripe for active risk-taking in the fixed income market, irrespective of developments in AI. Whether AI delivers or disappoints, we are likely to see a higher rate environment. Lastly, our third article finds that the nature of active management outperformance will depend on how AI ultimately plays out. If AI disappoints, a value tilt may prove more defensive than growth due to current tech stock valuations. | |
