Review the latest Weekly Headings by CIO Larry Adam.
Key Takeaways
Can you believe it’s been 40 years since Back to the Future first hit theaters in 1985? This beloved classic isn’t just a fun ride through time—it’s also a great reminder that while we can’t change the past, we can certainly learn from it. That idea rings especially true when it comes to investing, economics, and even politics. History has a way of repeating itself—patterns emerge, lessons resurface, and the past often lights the way forward. Just like Marty McFly had to think fast and adapt to the unexpected, today’s investors need to stay sharp, flexible, and ready for anything. That’s why we’ve chosen Back to the Future as the theme for our Q3 2025 Investment Outlook. Many of the dynamics we’re seeing today echo moments from the past—and understanding those parallels can help navigate what’s ahead. Please join us on Monday, July 14 at 4 PM EST for our latest views on the economy and the financial markets. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at our Q3 2025 Outlook.
