"With this pullback that we've seen in equities (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI), it's a great opportunity for investors to have that chance to add to equities, again," Willis says.

We also like industrials (XLI) right now. We like energy and we like communication services (XLC).” On the topic of inflation and tariffs, Willis discusses how these factors may impact the broader market: “If that inflation remains a little bit more elevated, we're not likely to see the Fed [Federal Reserve] cut a ton of times this year.

Cohen & Steers president and CIO Jon Cheigh joins Market Domination Overtime hosts Josh Lipton and Julie Hyman to talk about the changing macroeconomic landscape. He explains that investors need to adapt to the new environment by diversifying their portfolios: "Our view is for policymakers, and therefore economies, it's just a much trickier game. So, what does that mean for investors? It means that even though, of course, everyone thinks they have the right answer, you need to be diversified." Cheigh emphasizes that with rising inflation and economic uncertainty, real assets and alternative investments — such as real estate and infrastructure — can offer stability and returns. "In a world where inflation may be a bit higher, and where maybe the view of what's GDP going to look like over the next six, 12, 24 months may be more uncertain, that's typically an environment where real assets tend to do better," Cheigh says.
