Halfway through 2024: Investment Committee Commentary

Investment Committee

As we enter the second half of this calendar year and approach the 2024 presidential election, what have we seen, and where are we headed?

In our 15-minute video podcast featuring JNBA Financial Advisors President Kim Brown with John Foster and Mark Rosenkranz, both Investment Strategists and members of the JNBA Investment Committee, the team provides insights into considerations that have affected markets this year including unemployment, inflation, and corporate earnings.

Having observed and enjoyed continued market growth in Q2 of 2024, history points to increased market volatility as autumn and the election approach. While the Investment Committee stays focused on economic indicators like inflation, they discuss the importance of staying the course and focusing on long-term perspectives over reactive portfolio changes influenced by political views.
