Episode Synopsis

Liridon GIla, CFA, Portfolio Manager, discusses November's market broadening as defensive and value-oriented sectors outperformed the market's YTD leaders. Investor sentiment was tested by the government shutdown and mixed economic signals, however a strong start to the holiday shopping season solidified confidence that household spending power was intact. Looking toward 2026, Sawgrass expects quality companies could continue to outperform as the market broadens further, the Fed stays the course on easing, investors digest AI spending and near-term return expectations, and extreme relative valuations moderate.
