Market performance in 2026 has been a rollercoaster ride for investors. With several factors at play including the war in Iran, inflation, corporate earnings and more, the first six months of the year have left investors feeling anything but certainty. Will that continue through the remainder of the year, considering ongoing attention-grabbing headlines and midterm elections on the horizon?


In this Investment Committee video discussion, JNBA’s Senior Advisors – Investment Strategists Michael Bilotta and John Foster, along with Director of Investment Management Andy Buccanero, talk about what we’ve seen so far this year and what to watch in Q3 and Q4 of 2026, including Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh feeling out his new role.
