  • In this special episode of Blue Chip NOW!, Managing Partner Dan Seder, CFA®, CMT, CFP® and Associate Financial Advisor Hayden Kibbey talk about one of our favorite ways to bypass the government when pulling money from an IRA account.

    Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) are a tax-efficient way for people aged 70.5 and older to donate directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to charities. QCDs can take the place of Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) and don’t count as income, benefiting both the charity and the donor.

    QCDs are direct donations from your IRA to the charity; the money bypasses the individual and therefore avoids income taxes, maximizing the donation

    Individuals can give a QCD of up to $108,000 in 2025

    The receiving charity must be a properly registered 501(c)3 to qualify for a QCD

    Listen in to learn more about this donation strategy’s benefits and things to remember.

  • Consensus estimates point to 12.50% earnings growth for the S&P 500 Index in 2025, with elevated expectations visible in the information technology, consumer discretionary, and health care sectors. As information technology has been a key driver of domestic earnings over the last two years, the sector has comprised a larger and larger share of overall index earnings. The current level is not necessarily concerning, but the concept bears consideration. Elevated earnings concentration can introduce index-level volatility should estimates change, especially given that the sector in question constitutes 33% of the S&P 500 Index. On the contrary, we see potential for diversification of earnings within the U.S. market. As earnings growth from the “Magnificent 7” tapers, contribution from a broader subset is expected in 2025. Robust earnings growth across a more diversified slate can stoke a more inclusive rally in the domestic equity market.

  • Are you managing your own portfolio or outsourcing to a professional? If you’re looking at an investment structure, why not think of individual stocks? Tax intricacies on mutual funds are muddy as best. When stocks work against us it's our job to harvest the loss, bank it and set it aside. You can use those losses for years to benefit your bank account when pulling money out for a big project, to buy a house, or anything else that would incur capital gains. This tax harvesting strategy is possible with the purchase of a well-diversified portfolio of individual stocks. With mutual funds the intricacies around taxes aren’t as clear. But with individual stocks and the right professionals in your corner, you could have a significant difference in payout when you’re realizing capital gains with a well-diversified portfolio of individual stocks.

    In a changing domestic environment, a thoughtful assessment across and within asset classes is required. This includes an evaluation of both the sector and capitalization composition of investment portfolios. The domestic fixed income market has run in recent months, but we think bonds will continue to provide greater value than money market funds in the year to come.

    Welcome to the Quarterly Edge report by Blue Chip Partner’s Chief Investment Officer Daniel Dusina, CFA being interviewed by Managing Partner Daniel Seder, CFA, CMT, CFP®.

    At the sector level, history indicates that consumer staples and health care can offer the strongest performance at the start of a rate cutting cycle. Along the same lines, small cap stocks have historically outperformed larger publicly traded businesses after the Federal Reserve begins to cut rates. In fixed income, domestic bonds can offer additional value relative to money market funds in a declining interest rate environment. Short-term Treasury yields tend to decline ahead of Fed rate cuts, and income distribution from money market funds generally follows shortly thereafter. Thus, we suggest tapping into high quality bonds today to avoid the yield declines that will likely be experienced by money market fund investors over the next year.

    Key Points From This Episode:

    [00:01:14] Analysis of sector performance during previous rate cutting cycles, highlighting consumer staples and healthcare as top performers.

    [00:02:10] Discussion on the defensive nature of certain sectors and their performance in a slowing economy.

    [00:03:08] Overview of the bond market dynamics during rate cuts and the performance of rate-sensitive equity sectors like utilities.

    [00:04:12] Examination of underperforming sectors such as financials and energy during rate-cutting cycles and the reasons behind their struggles.

    [00:08:10] Impact of monetary policy on small-cap companies and how lower interest rates create favorable conditions for these businesses.

    [00:10:20] The investment committee’s perspective on adapting asset allocations based on expected economic conditions.

    [00:12:08] Insights into market valuations and the broadening of market performance beyond the "Magnificent Seven" tech giants.

    [00:13:15] Review of the bond market as a "once-in-a-decade" opportunity and the factors driving bond price appreciation.

    [00:16:35] Discussion on future rate cut expectations and their implications for money market funds and bond yields.

    [00:19:15] Analysis of the corporate bond market and why it may offer more attractive value propositions than treasuries in the current environment.
