How investors can prepare for a fluctuating market in 2025

The stock market (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) is expected to experience fluctuations throughout this year due to various economic factors. Dakota Wealth Management senior portfolio manager Robert Pavlik joins Wealth host Brad Smith to discuss how the market landscape may differ from last year. "What worked all last year probably won't work all this year; you're not going to have all these big Mag Seven type of rallies that are going to carry the overall market," Pavlik says. He emphasizes the importance of carefully selecting quality companies that align with one's personal risk tolerance. "If you have a high degree of risk, then maybe an Applovin (APP), a Palantir (PLTR), [or] a Snowflake (SNOW) matches into your portfolio," Pavlik explains. "But if you're like the rest of us ... you're probably looking at names that I've suggested in the past, like Costco (COST) ... or Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL)." Pavlik also touches on the "barbell approach" in investing, suggesting that while tech stocks like Apple (AAPL) can be included, focusing on steady performers in sectors like healthcare (XLV) and consumer discretionary (XLP) is key.

Diversification will play role in driving global markets further

The bull market run in US equities (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) continues, pushing the asset class to dominate global markets, with top companies worth more than all those in Asia combined. Citi Wealth chief investment strategist Steven Wieting joins Market Domination to note that this trend is driven by large, innovative firms. Though, he warns against taking this growth for granted, especially with the dollar (DX=F, DX-Y.NYB) at its second-highest level in history. "There are places where you just see some relatively dynamic growth and low expectations. Just think about low expectations," Wieting says, citing countries like Brazil's strong rebound despite facing recent challenges. Wieting also highlights broadening profit gains across sectors, such as healthcare (XLV) and mid-sized companies, as signs of diversified market performance in 2024 and beyond. For investors seeking balance, Wieting emphasizes that "diversification is the name of the game," noting that fixed-income (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX) assets offer competitive returns.

Investor advice: Remove 'emotional component,' don't trade on news

In today’s fast-paced media coverage of the Trump administration's policies, investors need to manage their emotional responses to the constant flow of information and shifts in the market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC). Sincerus Advisory managing partner Dann Ryan joins Wealth, where he suggests dialing back on media consumption to avoid being overwhelmed. "Maybe if there's an article and you don't have time to read it, don't read the headline because there is an emotional component to that, that you're carrying around with you through the day," Ryan advises. Ryan also stresses the importance of staying grounded when making portfolio decisions and adjustments, encouraging investors to "turn off the notifications on your phone — which is a horrible way to consume content — and take some time to defy your world a little bit so that when you're making those decisions, you're really grounded in having the complete data set in front of you." Additionally, he acknowledges that market pullbacks are inevitable, but urges a long-term perspective. Ryan highlights sectors such as financials (XLF), utilities (XLU), and healthcare (XLV), while also reflecting on Big Tech's "mid-life crisis" the landscape is going through.

Stay diversified 'across sectors' for 2025 market volatility

James Ragan, director of wealth management research at D.A. Davidson, joins Wealth to discuss potential market volatility due to concerns about tariffs and economic growth. Ragan expects some pullback but remains optimistic about the overall market outlook for 2025. "How we prepare for the expected volatility is just to remain diversified across the sectors," Ragan explains, noting that even when tech doesn’t perform, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) can still rise. "If we see some erosion in the earnings expectations going forward where companies become more cautious ... growth expected this year could be meaningfully lower," Ragan explains. "That would be the big risk." Ragan sees opportunities in sectors like technology (XLK), communication services (XLC), financials, and healthcare (XLV), which offer strong earnings potential and reasonable valuations. Despite some risks, the better-than-expected fourth quarter earnings have fueled optimism for 2025. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Wealth here.
