In the latest episode of ETF Spotlight, Matthew Bartolini from State Street Global Advisors discusses the market outlook and investing strategies for 2025. U.S. stocks are expected to continue their dominance, driven by advancements in AI development and pro-growth policies. Investors should consider small caps, regional banks, and opportunities within the AI value chain.

The SPDR Portfolio S&P 600 Small Cap ETF (SPSM) offers a cost-efficient way to invest in small companies. The SPDR NYSE Technology ETF (XNTK) and Direxion NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index Shares (QQQE) are worth considering as the AI value chain broadens. Adding gold as an alternative investment can provide diversification as bonds no longer offer the same benefit to equities.
