Q3 2025 Market Update

After a turbulent first half of the year, markets found their footing in the third quarter. Volatility eased, equities rallied, and the Federal Reserve’s first rate cut of 2025 marked a notable shift in monetary policy. But what does this mean for investors heading into year-end?

In this quarter’s video update, Justin Kittle CFA®, CAIA®, CFP® Portfolio Manager and Advisor, breaks down what’s driving market performance, why inflation and labor trends are shaping the Fed’s next moves, and whether today’s elevated valuations should be a cause for caution or confidence.
