Markets Still Climbing, but with Volatility Ahead?

Advisors Asset Management, Inc.

Marc Davis, CFA, Co-Portfolio Manager, discusses the strong start to 2026 and continued market broadening as the AI theme draws greater scrutiny from investors. He sees a challenging path forward with stocks vulnerable to selling pressure on the heels of a tremendous 3-year run. Looking ahead, Sawgrass expects equity returns to be more muted with increased market volatility, however greater variation in universe returns and a better stock picking environment could be supportive of active managers' ability to outperform their benchmarks and peers.
