U.S. market rebound gains momentum, but diversification remains key
- The S&P 500 has fully recovered its March pullback, reaching new all-time highs after surpassing the 7,000 level, underscoring the strength of the current equity rally.
- Recent momentum drove a quarterly return of 11.2%, bringing year-to-date performance to 8% for the U.S. large cap index as a return to trend has been supported by earnings growth from major companies in recent weeks.
- Despite this rebound, global market leadership has broadened, with several equity segments outperforming the S&P 500 on a relative basis.
- Diversification has been rewarded, as international developed (+13.6%), emerging markets (+19%), and small caps (+15.7%) all delivered stronger returns year-to-date. (Source: Morningstar)
Municipal bonds outperform taxable bonds on a nominal basis
- Municipal bonds outperformed taxable fixed income year-to-date, returning 1.2% vs. 0.4%, benefiting from strong income carry and a better relative starting point.
- Treasuries and investment-grade corporates delivered a more muted performance, with rate movements limiting total return relative to municipals.
- The treasury yield curve has shifted higher, particularly in the intermediate “belly,” moving from the lower end to the upper end of our projected 2026 range.
- The relative value of municipal bonds based on the muni-treasury ratio was highlighted three weeks ago in these same CLA key insights.
- Municipal bond income also benefits from federal and often state tax exemption; contact your tax and wealth team to learn more. (Source: CLA, Morningstar)
Alternative credit resilience continues after headlines subside
- Private credit faced many negative headlines earlier this year, but underlying fundamentals remain resilient, with steady income generation and limited mark-to-market volatility.
- Direct lending continues to deliver consistent performance — supported by floating-rate structures — especially among funds focused on larger borrowers within the middle market.
- The Morningstar U.S. Leveraged Loan Index is up 1.4% year-to-date compared to the bonds as represented by the Bloomberg Agg, up 0.4% total return year-to-date.
