One particular topic gaining traction is the divergence between stocks and bonds – an economic paradox affecting portfolios worldwide. Recent data shows that traditional investment strategies, like the 60-40 portfolio (60% in stocks and 40% in bonds), are faltering amidst these changing dynamics, necessitating the need for adaptive investment strategies.

So, what’s causing this divergence and what are the implications for your investments?

In the latest episode of Untamed Ethos, Joshua Wilson and Dr. Russell Rhoads dissect these complex dynamics. They dig into the state of the current market, how AI is impacting investing, the potential impacts of the debt ceiling, and the role of alternative investments.
